This issue is religious in nature Smith.

Like the four or five guys who would meet at Starbucks, fully loaded for bear...I mean what if a bear actually decided she wanted a latte and came roaring into that place...I mean those guys would be prepared. They would not have to wait following a 911 call.

When I was younger I was a purist. Freedom of religion was absolute.

I am sure I got mad if, during some discussion of cult driven suicides someone suggested that maybe religious institutions should be monitored once in awhile following testimony that might give authorities probable cause to suspect that things are not that kosher at the Holy Shrine to Canibalism.

For a firy gun enthusiast I suppose ground-to-air missile restrictions represent a domino effect of some kind that might eventually lead to laws outlawing air guns.

A gun nut would not take kindly to my excerpt relating to your namesakes.. I mean they would just say: See: outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns.

Frankly I just came to the conclusion that there are just too many guns on the street in this country. The whiskey has spilled and you cannot put it back in the bottle. Hell in Tennessee the cops resell the illegal weapons they pick up on the street.

Senator Ensign tells us that there are costs related to the wages of sins.

So eventually we will need scanning devices for all those entering our elementary schools, grocery stores and hair salons. hahahaha

FYI, I do not know and am not related to any of the Smiths mentioned in your blog.

I had some raging arguments with gun-lovers on Facebook threads following the recent Tucson shootings. I seemed to be the only person amongst all my FB friends taking the sane position. Every gun owner repeated, no, make that shouted, the NRA talking points back to me that you can't regulate guns, because it's un-American and if I was for gun or ammo restrictions of ANY kind, then I was a traitorous s.o.b. and didn't know anything. Even proposing something as reasonable as the bill putting a restriction on large clips got me some pretty hate-filled rhetoric. I found people's positions on this matter incredible to say the least.

Obviously the golfer and his boxer should have been openly carrying sidearms ...

I was just reading this this morning. It also answers somebody's question about how many states are attempting to pass guns-on-campus legislation.

I do not understand this. The repubs wish to take the vote away from their college students and give them guns instead?

In reply to I am too lazy to look this up

Richard, guns in Texas. Story from Denison last night. A guy is playing golf and has his dog, a boxer, in his golf cart. The course is typical of many-- a skimpy course surrounded by McMansions. The dog wanders onto a property, no fence, the owner shoots the dog, the dog owner goes to confront the property owner and is himself shot dead. The only good thing about this story is that the dog survived. The property owner is up on murder charges.

On campus carry. Oklahoma is trying to get this law passed with its Republican majority. It was voted down but they're still trying to amend it to another bill.

After the shooting, Cassandra Smith allegedly told federal law enforcement officials that she did "not remember seeing any guns" in the residence where she lived with her father "other than the ones in [her] own room and, if anything, a gun that may have been on the pool table downstairs."

But federal officials say she knew about a "brown long gun in a corner at the bottom of the steps, a long gun in a corner in the hallway between the kitchen door and the door to [Charles Smith's] room; two (2) to three (3) pistols on the pool table in the room where [Charles Smith] slept; shotguns or long guns in the same room, possibly next to the door going into the hallway, next to [his] recliner; and (d) a black shotgun with a pistol handle."

This segment from a TPM story sounds like some farcical dialogue in a Tarantino flick.

Well said! In the contest over strangeness, life once again opens up a (in this case Texas) can of whoop*** on art.

Great post, dd.

I was thinking about this logic, believe it or not!

Oh the parents should have stopped all this nonsense in the bud!

Oh if these parents had been avoiding internet porn....

What is the matter with you????

It has been proved over and over:

Guns DON'T KILL PEOPLE!

Guns that people AIM AT PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!

(or sometimes guns shoot people because the parents of a 6 year old are too stupid to put their stupid gun in a safe -- then the parents should be held accountable. Will it happen? Let's wait and see)

I know, I know!

hahahahahah

Except it is harder and harder to laugh!

These girls--and I am talking about these young women--who protect our children in elementary schools all over this nation are dedicated!

How you can say they are not doing their jobs? Are they supposed to frisk all students entering the school?

But what the hell can they do with guns laying around pool tables?

This really bothers me. ha!!!
