Thanks you just cheered me up! I hope they enjoy the rest of their vacation.

Hey nearly every drug smugglers plane started out as a legally purchased plane...we should destroy all planes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71YpogEUCDI Check out this womans testimony before the US Senate.

John The NRA has come out strongly in favor of PROSECUTION of people committing "STRAW PURCHASES." Please rethink your statement.

Thanks I never knew they existed... I guess I should try traveling outside of my county.

Please do something for all of us ok? Tell us in a plain spoken way whether or not you believe in the Second Ammendment. Then you can tell us if you feel it is just to remove anyones civil rights.

No John they are not...point out one pro second ammendment organization that will allow a convicted felon a membership, the funny thing is that you don't realize who the members of the NRA are. Law Enforcement Officals, Carpenters, Soldiers, Clergy, Doctors, Scientists, Bus Driver, Housewives, Victims of Serious Crimes, the list goes on and on. Criminals are just that...Criminals Hey there are tenured Professors that are Convicted Felons, why is that ok?

Thanks John, for pointing out that criminals get guns from criminals.

The what? Never heard of that, I looked it up, seems to be an airline.

Yep but the sketch was issued to officers searching for the suspects. You must admit it was all too convenient.

Yep I got into a discussion of this with some cops online, one was polite enough to try and explain that cops can kill anyone they want if they feel threatened, another told me he was really wanting to pull be over and shoot my dog then me. I guess my point is there are ALOT of good cops, and they are forced to work with some of the worst dregs of society including some real mental cases that have badges. The "can't wait to shoot someone syndrome" has permeated the police forces of many communties. I witnessed another cop telling the rest that if they go to the wrong house and shoot a guys dog they may have signed a death warrant for every responding police officer. They turned on him like Judas. I wish my police firends could have witnessed it, maybe if they were there there would be some immediate jobs openings.

I agree

Rabat - The Moroccan Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an extradition request for a man London says masterminded the largest robbery in British history, his lawyer said. The court ruled that Lee Lamrani Ibrahim Murray is a Moroccan citizen and that the law prevents nationals from being extradited to a country where they are accused of a crime, lawyer Issaoui Benmhili said. The court has ordered his release from jail, he said. Murray, who has a Moroccan father, holds dual Moroccan and British citizenship. British authorities accuse Murray of masterminding the theft of £53-million (about R730-million) from a Securitas cash depot in Tonbridge, Kent, southeast England, in February 2006. The court held a hearing on Britain's extradition request Wednesday. Murray told the court he wished to stay in Morocco. On Tuesday, Murray was sentenced in a separate case to serve eight months in a Moroccan jail. He and three other Britons were found guilty of drug use and possession and of assaulting a police officer by the Sale criminal court near Rabat. In addition to the eight-month sentence, Murray was ordered to pay a 10 000-dirham (about R8 000) fine. Because he was arrested on June 25, he will be eligible for release on Monday, his lawyer said. Murray was known in Britain as the martial arts cage fighter Lee "Lightning" Murray. Lee only had one fight in the UFC due to VISA issues, but he had a well known feud with Tito after Lee knocked Tito out cold in a London street fight.

Only if they give a "happy ending" Otherwise it's wasted cash that could have been used on Jumps, Beer, Ammo, Guns and etc.

Officer faces gun charges in I-81 incident BY REX BOWMAN TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER Feb 14, 2007 SALEM -- A South Carolina police officer used a gun to threaten a female motorist on Interstate 81, Virginia State Police allege. Officer Eric Cmeyla, 41, of the Greenville, S.C., Police Department must appear in a Roanoke County court tomorrow on two counts of brandishing a firearm, said state police Sgt. Bob Carpentieri. Destinee Puckett, 18, of Vinton said yesterday that the incident took place Sunday as she was driving south on I-81 at 60 mph -- the speed limit along that stretch -- in the left lane. The male driver behind her pulled up close to her bumper and grew frustrated that he couldn't get around her, Puckett said, but traffic was too thick for her to move into the right lane. She said she looked behind her and saw the man holding a gun above his steering wheel as he tailgated her. She said she was so rattled by the sight that she hit her brakes, which led the driver's Volkswagen Jetta to slam into her Nissan Maxima. When they pulled over at Exit 140, Puckett said, the man tapped on her window with the barrel of the gun, striking the window so hard the glass chipped. "I called 911," she said. "He said, 'I'm a cop; can I see your license and registration?' He seemed to be mad that I was paying more attention to 911 than to him, and he was getting frustrated. "He was like, 'I can shoot you right now if I wanted to.' I told 911, 'He's threatening to shoot me.' And he said, 'No, no, no.' So 911 told me to roll up my windows. But he put his hand over my window so I couldn't roll it up. "My boyfriend was sitting beside me. He was in shock." Police arrived and arrested Cmeyla. He was released from custody on a recognizance bond. The Greenville Police Department released a statement saying Cmeyla has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of his arrest. The statement noted that Cmeyla has been with the department for five months and is still in the department's training program.

NRA Publications Suspends Ties to Jim Zumbo Thursday, February 22, 2007 (FAIRFAX, VA) – The following statement was issued by the National Rifle Association of America. Comments expressed by outdoor writer Jim Zumbo reflect neither the opinions of the National Rifle Association and America’s gun owners, nor are they an accurate portrayal of facts in regard to semi-automatic firearms lawfully owned by millions of citizens. Therefore, NRA Publications has suspended its professional ties with Mr. Zumbo. The ensuing wave of grassroots response in support of the Second Amendment is a clear indication that America’s gun owners will act swiftly and decisively to counter falsehoods or misrepresentations perpetuated by any member of the media – whether it is one of the major networks or a fellow gun owner. That depth of feeling and the unanimity of the response from the nation’s firearms owners sends a message to the new Congress. It says that millions of people understand the issue of semi-autos and will resist with an immense singular political will any attempts to create a new ban on semi-automatic firearms. At the root of this grassroots response is the basic truth that ‘gun control merely makes the innocent pay the price for the guilty’ and our folks fully understand that their rights are at stake. It says that for the enemies of the Second Amendment there is no chance that the kind of divide and conquer propaganda strategy which preceded the 1994 ban on semi-auto firearms will ever succeed again. It is our hope that Mr. Zumbo will use his energy and talent to help preserve our Second Amendment, America’s First Freedom, by ensuring that no one else falls prey to the tragic demonization of gun owners.

I think your a britney spears wannabe.

Hey did you even realize that my first post was taken verbatim off a website? The next time you attribute words to someone make sure you know whether or not they were the author. You could have just asked me, butthat would be too easy. Hey has anyone else ever seen me use that term? As for calling me a Heston wannabe, wow you just showed lots of people how smart you are. As a matter of fact what did Charlton Heston do to you? The last time I checked he led an honorable life, was a good huband to his wife, a great father to his children, was generous and kind, looked out for the rights of others, put his beliefs before his career. Yeah no wonder you make fun of a dead guy.

John I wonder where the AAA gun came from?

You misunderstand what I am saying, I was stating that would cause either a shooting or a cop arresting someone for the police officers failure. Some states do have laws requiring the threat of death or injury before you can point it at someone. I have never pointed a weapon at someone I did not plan on shooting if needed. The last time it happened I was on my property and was threatened.

If he had it in his hand...no problem If he pointed it at an unidentified suspect after being alarmed by noises in a rural setting? no problem. If he pointed it at an officer who did not identify himself? Big problem for both of them. If the officer identified himself clearly there is a big problem for the homeowner. Do I believe any part of the story that the man came out wearing a ski mask and pointed it at a Police Officer? NO

US air strike kills three insurgents in Iraq Thu Feb 22, 5:26 AM ET A US helicopter gunship on Thursday killed three insurgents who tried to prevent the arrest of six other militants near Taji, north of Baghdad, the military said. US-led forces had detained the six during an operation against Al-Qaeda and foreign fighter networks and were leaving when "three armed men were seen manoeuvering toward them," a statement said. "Ground forces called for close air support. A rotary-wing aircraft used precision fires and killed the three armed men." In a separate operation near Samarra, further north, five other suspected Al-Qaeda fighters were arrested, the statement said. On Wednesday, US-led forces killed seven "terrorists" and arrested 13 others during raids on suspected Al-Qaeda units in three volatile towns, Ramadi, Fallujah and Baquba. Special Iraqi army forces arrested also three suspected militia fighters during a raid in eastern Baghdad on a makeshift bomb network. "The men are suspected of being part of a rogue Jaish Al-Mahdi group operating against Iraqi civilians and coalition forces," a statement said in reference to the feared Shiite militia also known as the JAM or Mahdi Army. Two more suspected JAM fighters were nabbed in the southeastern Karrada district on charges of "sectarian kidnapping, torture and murder of Iraqi civilians" as well as the kidnapping and murder of Iraqi soldiers. Iraqi and US troops are engaged in a make-or-break campaign to bring Baghdad under the control of Iraqi government authority and end sectarian conflict that killed more than 34,000 people in the past year, according to UN figures. The security plan also targets insurgent and militia strongholds in the Al-Anbar and Diyala provinces, where the three towns are located. Quote I can't wait to hear the usual suspects calling for our immediate withdrawal. I think some of our politicians are worried we might actually kill some of the terrorists, or worse...win.

Remember the two police artist sketchs that were circulated looking for TWO suspects?

Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols says a high-ranking FBI official "apparently" was directing Timothy McVeigh in the plot to blow up a government building and might have changed the original target of the attack, according to a new affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Utah. The official and other conspirators are being protected by the federal government "in a cover-up to escape its responsibility for the loss of life in Oklahoma," Nichols claims in a Feb. 9 affidavit. Documents that supposedly help back up his allegations have been sealed to protect information in them, such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah had no comment on the allegations. The FBI and Justice Department in Washington, D.C., also declined comment. Nichols does not say what motive the government would have to be involved in the bombing. The affidavit was filed in a lawsuit brought by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, who believes his brother's death in a federal prison was linked to the Oklahoma City bombing. The suit, which seeks documents from the FBI under the federal Freedom of Information Act, alleges that authorities mistook Kenneth Trentadue for a bombing conspirator and that guards killed him in an interrogation that got out of hand. Trentadue's death a few months after the April 19, 1995, bombing was ruled a suicide after several investigations. The government has adamantly denied any wrongdoing in the death. In his affidavit, Nichols says he wants to bring closure to the survivors and families of the attack on the Alfred B. Murrah Federal Building, which took 168 lives. He alleges he wrote then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2004, offering to help identify all parties who played a role in the bombing but never got a reply. Nichols is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colo. McVeigh, who carried out the bombing, was executed in 2001. McVeigh and Nichols were the only defendants indicted in the bombing. However, Nichols alleges others were involved. McVeigh told him he was recruited for undercover missions while serving in the military, according to Nichols. He says he learned sometime in 1995 that there had been a change in bombing target and that McVeigh was upset by that. "There, in what I believe was an accidental slip of the tongue, McVeigh revealed the identity of a high-ranking FBI official who was apparently directing McVeigh in the bomb plot," Nichols says in the affidavit. Nichols also says that McVeigh threatened him and his family to force him to rob Roger Moore, an Arkansas gun dealer, of weapons and explosives. He later learned the robbery was staged so Moore, who was in on the phony heist, could deny any knowledge of the bombing plot if the stolen items were traced back to him, Nichols claims. He adds that Moore allegedly told his attorney that he would not be prosecuted in connection with the bombing because he was a "protected witness." Moore could not be reached for comment Tuesday. In addition, Nichols says McVeigh must have had help building the bomb. The device he and McVeigh built the day before the bombing did not resemble the one that ultimately was used, Nichols says, and "displayed a level of expertise and sophistication" that neither man had. pmanson@sltrib.com www.sltrib.com/news/ci_5271117
