Do you know AA; If Grandma reported the stolen gun immediately?

All I know is in the article, and I know the article's author could not know she was the original owner unless the serial number is on record somewhere with her name, either from a theft report or a registration of some other kind.

Maybe the people who cleaned her car were all ex- felons?

I don't understand your concern with possible ex-felons here, because ex-felons don't even need to steal a gun if they want one for their own use, they can currently buy firearms at gun shows and in private sales of unstolen guns, as there are no background checks in either case. And my understanding from your commenting here is that you think that the status quo on guns laws is just fine.

I wish they could find the person who stole the gun, and make that person or persons an accessory to attempted murder.

Convict him/her with the rest of them that used a gun in the commission of a crime.

We're sick of this crap, punish the criminals.

One example of one stolen gun.

Originally purchased at a gun fair for this NC grandma for protection after she and her husband were mugged in a parking lot in 2003:

Gun disappeared from between her car seats after a car wash in 2008 (it was loaded, she always kept it loaded)

Gun made its way to NYC.

At the beginning of this month, the gun was used to shoot a cop in the Bronx during an armed robbery of a car dealership (in the seedy Bronx car shop strip where I used to get my car fixed, and where BTW, I never felt threatened by violence.)

Unless the contempt for those, who are about to be victimized, is so great.

Sean McGahan, of Northeastern University said the following in his study of SSNA:

The purpose of the SSNA algorithms program is to extend techniques of social network analysis to assist with distinguishing potential terrorist cells from legitimate groups of people ... In order to be successful SSNA will require information on the social interactions of the majority of people around the globe. Since the Defense Department cannot easily distinguish between peaceful citizens and terrorists, it will be necessary for them to gather data on innocent civilians as well as on potential terrorists.—Sean McGahan^[13]

Some folks feel that "WE" the people don't have a say in the judiciary's interpretation of the Constitution;

I disagree, The Justices know the peoples sentiments, unless the people remain silent.

A Candid Conversation With Sandra Day O'Connor: 'I Can Still Make

In your 25 years on the court, did you ever hear justices talk about the politics of a problem rather than the merits of the case?
SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR: I’m sure that from time to time justices would say to each other,

“Gosh, this is a case that’s going to get members of the public stirred up.” I mean, you’re not an idiot."

PARADE: I was stunned by a recent survey that showed the approval rating for Supreme Court justices had fallen to 44 percent, down from 66 percent in the late ’80s.
SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR: Yes. I thought that was very disturbing. I think Bush v. Gore may have been a turning point. It was seen by the public as political.

[The case] had to be resolved somehow. But it didn’t help the image of the court any.

$$$$$$$$$

It was political, and unless a strong message is sent to them and our representatives by WE the People, we would no longer be active participants in our destiny.

We the people don’t have to sit idly by, waiting for the Gods (The Supreme Judiciary) to dictate, we don’t have to be uniformed bystanders.

In reply to I didn't, but I do now. There

Resistance, prolific commenter, but who, in over 2 years has never posted a blog of his own:

"But that's okay Ramona, I understand you may be pressured to silence me, as you said others have made mention."

When you never, ever, write a blog of your own? Who is silencing who?

You 'react' to the posts of others. Often negatively, often in what could be considered off topic or somewhat irrational fashion. For instance, one example:

Your self identification with Australian aborigines, in your justification for guns. I had commented that Australia had confiscated 700,000 guns in 1996 after a massacre, and haven't had one since. The Australian Prime Minister at the time wrote an Op Ed in the NYT saying Obama should do something similar in America.

Your argument was that the aborigines centuries ago had no guns, noting a total absence of any aboriginal gun industry 250 years ago. Presumably postulating that the history of that native group would have been improved if they had one.

This had nothing to do with contemporary US moves towards increasing rules on gun safety. You did not even try to address the paradox that your so-called Second Amendment 'Doomsday Tyranny' has not arisen in modern day Australia after their clamp down on gun possession.

Could it be that guns might not be involved in ensuring good government?

If not true, write your own blog on it, and work in the history of aborigines if you wish. You might also cover, if guns assure freedom and good government, what point is served by the rest of the US Constitution, who needs it?

Those who believe and follow you may look forward to you actually coming out of your commenting closet and presenting your beliefs in a full and clear manner. I doubt the management will stop you. Your blogs will be easily accessible on your now blank blog page. You can then assure yourself that no one is 'silencing you'.

If you are afraid or unwilling to blog, at least do a blog telling us why.

You are courageous enough to imagine and prepare for participation in the overthrow a national dictatorship with your gun. Would a man of such guts and fortitude lack the resolve to write his own blog?? The proof will be in the blog.

In reply to Resistance, I still would

In cyberworld, perfidy refers to malicious software disguised as ordinary software. (Just as in war, perfidy is the term for military types furthering their ends by pretending to be civilian.)

So you may have installed an anti-perfidy file, or if the message was not a real message from Microsoft, then you may have inadvertently installed a perfidious file. (But I think a truly perfidious file would defeat its own purpose by labeling itself as such.)
