Nope, that's not on the agenda!!

We can't count on a single source (not saying that was your point) such as the NRA. At the moment the gun control advocates are getting a lot of bang for their 1.7 million. It's up to each of us to stand up for all our rights. We each need to do what we can to support each other at times like these, regardless of the issue.

I haven't heard anything on the Gov. attempting to control the way a family disciplines children in the home and agree that putting limitations on parents is over stepping their bounds by a great deal, if that's the case. However, it is a good message to parents. As I've been saying, it starts at home. Yes there are cases where a child may have an illness that causes problems and a few or our members have mentioned the challenges they face due to that kind of thing. I can only imagine how hard that must be and would love to see more information and help available to them. Americans are a pretty giving bunch and there's not better place to give assistance than to our own. The right kind of help that is.

It sounds like something our elected officials could do, is put in place some solid laws that protect teachers/schools from stupid lawsuits. I have several friends who are teachers and the challenges they face on a daily basis just is sometimes ridiculous. Again, we the people need to stand up and demand that our educators and the education system are protected smartly and fairly.

I don't have children, but I believe that our education system is very important and support it 100%. Your children are important to me. They are part of my future as well.

On another note: Todd, sorry buddy I may have confused who said that. I was honestly a bit surprised.

This actually happens more than you'll hear about. My wife being a dispatcher has to be pretty savvy on Nevada law and is a great source of information. Sad part is that there is very little attention given to cases like this. I wish they would be discussed and studied more often. They are lessons that we all can learn from.

As for the disease's being at fault....that's a byproduct of our legal system. It seems like every case we hear about the argument is that it's not the criminals fault and they are argued as being a victim. Often a victim of our society. I ask, how are we at fault for someone who breaks the law. Everyone by the age of five, knows the basics of right and wrong. The actual cases where there is a problem (in the schools or otherwise) are rare. Those cases deserve more attention. A student who has special needs, should get the required help. Forcing a student who has special needs into a regular classroom is very wrong. As Todd stated, his wife Kelly has more than one and the challenges of those students slows the progress of the rest of the class. It's a delicate situation, but why do we allow those types of issues to have a negative impact on an entire class? In the end, it becomes a drag on our society as a whole.

That is very interesting Jerry. I wonder if it is really supported by Consitutional law theorists/educators/jurists or is just an editorial opinion in a pro-gun state?

I hope the current admisintration does not trample on the second ammendment. :(

Look at this moron






Then there is this..

While that guy was talking (or was it droning on) I was re-loading.... and at one point I had my AimPoint laser between his eyes.


:unibrow: :lol:

In my search for more information on the gun subject, I came across this:

I'll warn you that it is 42 pages of questions and comparisons, but well worth the 10 minutes it'll take you.

Thank god dip stick holes like this one don't have or want to own firearms. Only thing my guns have ever killed was my bank roll.

2nd amenment was created to kill Brits? I know the comedy sucks, but to kill someone over it? Nut case.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Loganville mother of two assumed the knocks on her front door Friday afternoon were from a solicitor.

“Don’t answer,” she yelled to her 9-year-old twins playing downstairs.

When the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at work.

“Get the kids and hide,” he told his wife.

As he dialed 911, his 37-year-old spouse, who works from home, collected the children and hid with them in a crawlspace adjoining her office. By that time, the intruder had forced his way into the three-story residence on Henderson Ridge Drive with a crowbar, authorities said. He allegedly rummaged through the home, eventually working his way up to the attic office.

“He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver,” said Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman, who relayed the woman’s narrative to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He asked that her name be withheld.

The woman fired six bullets, five of which hit Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area, Chapman said. But Slater was still conscious.

“The guy’s face down, crying,” the sheriff said. The woman told him to stay down or she’d shoot again.

Slater, unaware that she had emptied her chamber, obliged as the mother and her children ran to a neighbor’s house.

The injured burglar eventually made it out of the home and into his car, driving away before deputies arrived on the scene. He didn’t get far.

“When you got five bullets in you, it makes you kind of disoriented,” Chapman told the AJC.

Deputies found Slater bleeding profusely in a neighbor’s driveway.

“I’m dying. Help me,” he told them, according to Chapman.

Slater was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center and is expected to survive, the sheriff said.

The Long Island native, who now lives in Gwinnett County, was released from the Gwinnett jail in late August after serving six months for simple battery and three counts of probation violation. Slater has six other arrests in Gwinnett dating back to 2008, according to jail records.

“My wife’s a hero,” the woman’s husband, Donnie Herman, told Channel 2 Action News in a brief statement. He did not respond to a request for comment from the AJC. “She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do.”

Chapman remarked that one of his deputies, impressed with the woman’s resolve, told the sheriff she had handled her first shooting better than he had.

“That mother’s instinct kicked in,” Chapman said. “You go after a mother’s kids and she’ll find herself capable of doing things she never thought she was capable of.”
