That was a good article...whats most suprising was that it was posted on cnn.com

Following the Newtown massacre, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County in Arizona, said he plans to send a volunteer armed posse to protect schools. Arpaio said he has the “authority to mobilize private citizens and fight crime in this county.” According to AZFamily.com, “he’ll use members of his 3,000 strong posse to patrol schools in towns that fall under sole jurisdiction of the sheriff’s office.” Admitting he doesn’t yet know whether all schools will agree to the measure, Arpaio said he’d coordinate with them. He also asserted that such a program has been effective in malls, so it can be applicable to schools as well. “We’re not talking about placing the posse in the schools right now but in the outlying — the perimeters of the school — to detect any criminal activity,” he said. http://www.mediaite.com/online/sheriff-joe-arpaio-deploying-armed-posse-to-protect-schools/

perhaps instead of playing ring around the rosie you could answer his question in the matter that he asked you...without subterfuge.

i guess the liberals are stuck with that evil natural gas to AC or heat the caves they live in and charge those insanely expensive electric cars they want all of us to be forced to purchase. when you said that I instantly thought of this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FAI_-woNh4

I dont know, I cant stop time...go back to the scene of the crime and do an investigation. Perhaps with your superhuman powers of hindsight you could do that. The point I was trying to make was that in obama's hometown...where the gun control laws are most strict than anywhere else in the nation...didnt make much of a difference to the 500 people who were murdered.

Try to come up with something realistic. How about getting obama's buddy George Soros to pony a few hundred million of HIS dollars to help us out...oh wait that higher tax bracket wont apply to him becase he gets liberal exemptions.

c'mon john...that wasnt the only reason!...making kids is damn fun!...its the raising of the kids that can suck ass at times.

A gun in the home is more likely to be used to kill a family member or friend, or be stolen and get into criminal hands, than to be used to stop an intruder. just because you think this is 'more likely' to happen doesnt mean that its the end all be all answer to everything related to guns.

One thing you might not know is that my father has been a hunter, rifleman, sport shooter and skeet shooter since I was a baby. There have always been guns around me and I have been taught since I was young not only about gun safety by my dad, but about how precious life is by my mom. Unfortunately we live in a soceity that doesnt instill these morals in all the inhabitants of this planet. Crazy people have been here since our origins. I just want the chance to defend myself against those people who hold no value of human life...the same people who would rather shoot me for 20 bucks so they could go out and get a case of beer or some crack. Lastly since my dad has collected various guns all his life this is part of my legacy I will receive when he passes on. Those weapons have a story and part of my dad is with them when I will receive them...unless of course some douchenozzle like feinstein creates a new law that outlaws all of those guns and instead of being shot every once in a while at a target, they are thrown in a firepit and gone forever. Hopefully cooler heads than me can come to an agreement and figure this out.

I agree that the people who are all for second amendment rights should get onboard and try and find some common ground and compromise better than 'just put some guard in every school'. I have no problems with having my weapons and their serial numbers associated directly to me...since I have no plans on selling them. I also agree that if the NRA doesnt get onboard and make a valid attempt at compromise, then asshats like feinstein will create laws that take ALL our rights away. Subsequently the one thing Im most worried about is when I register my guns that there wont be another law passed that supercedes the previous one and now all the weapons I own are suddenly illegal which instantly makes me and thousands of other citizens instant outlaws. This is going to lead to more unnecessary bloodshed, but this time some of the people who would be involved might not be nutters at all...just people trying to defend the property they legally paid for. This is a slippery slope no doubt about it.

Alderman Anthony Beale, who is running for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s old 2nd Congressional District seat, said Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy needs to change strategies. Yeah that'll do it...blame the police chief

A man gunned down Thursday on Chicago's west side marked what police say is the city's 500th homicide of the year. It's a dubious distinction that hasn't occurred since 2008, when the city ended the year with 512 murders. Police are releasing few details about the shooting that happened around 9 p.m. in the 4900 block of West Augusta. The man was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died. At a peace dinner held Thursday, residents came together to talk about ways to end violence. Alderman Anthony Beale, who is running for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s old 2nd Congressional District seat, said Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy needs to change strategies. "His philosophy is not working," Beale said. "We need to put resources where the problems are, and then you will see crime drop across the city." Chicago surpassed 2011's 435 murder total in October Police said Chicago's 499th homicide victim was a man who died after he was shot at least four times – including in the face and chest – in a Gage Park neighborhood alley Wednesday night on the Southwest Side. Frederico Martinez, of the 5400 block of South California Avenue, died from gunshot wounds he suffered near his home, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. Police said the 32-year-old Martinez was standing with a female in an alleyway down the block from his home when a light-colored pick-up truck approached and somebody inside opened fire. Martinez was shot in the face, chest and both arms and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died, authorities said. Behind the troubling statistics, flashing lights and crime tape, communities throughout the city are searching for solutions. "There's no magic spell that can end it. It's a matter of people and neighborhoods coming together and deciding that it's not going to happen," said neighbor Robert Grider. Larry Pickens, who is running in the special election in the 2nd Congressional seat, offered a few suggestions Thursday: "Teaching our young people alternative dispute resolution, non-violent strategies for addressing conflict and getting guns off the street." http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/28/16212238-grim-milestone-chicago-records-500th-homicide-of-2012?lite

What about the news? I live within an hour of the 4th largest city in the usa. I work in Houston. Literally this place averages just about a murder each day. Try watching the first 48, around 30% of the crimes on that show are home invasions where the victim wasnt armed. Why should I have to follow logic when criminals dont?

I would think that if 100,000....hell even as low as 50,000 incidents a year where someones life was saved by defending themselves and their family with a firearm that this should definately be brought up into the discussion of gun control. And what popsjumper said was spot on...There is no use it or lose it clause in the 2nd amendment.

If some of these politicians try and make changes in the gun laws, they just might see some changes they don't expect. They just might find out the real reason we have the 2nd amendment. That may be true but for someone like feinstein it wont matter at all...they would have already gotten their gains from getting the bill passed, and then when the shit hits the fan they can blame it on GWB, like they have so many times in the past.

so youre telling me you didnt emerge from a buttcrack? Get out. Guess you learn something new every day

------------------------------------------------------------ Seems like your argument is holding water. Manteca Police are taking threats seriously after "Anonymous," a widely known "hacktivist" group, threatened to hack into the police department's public website, Fox40.com reported. On their YouTube channel, "Annonymous" shows video of Ernesto Duenez Jr., being shot and killed by Manteca Officer John Moody. The group demands that the officer be fired from the force. "Otherwise, Annonymous users will act appropriately with the inevitable shutdown of the official website," said someone on the site, disguised in a Guy Fawkes mask. The Manteca Police Department told the Manteca Bulletin that they view this as a valid threat. The threat comes a little more than a week after Moody was cleared of any wrong doing in the 2011 shooting, where he fired more than a dozen rounds at Duenez. Since the shooting, many supported the Duenez family, but never has there been a threat of this magnitude. The Duenez family says while they appreciate the support, they do not condone any illegal activity http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/12/27/anonymous-threatens-to-shut-down-california-police-department-website/?test=latestnews#ixzz2GI6SLwnY

Its a good thing they didnt outlaw that in the UK. Otherwise you might not be here.

Nah, I could care less, doesn't effect me in anyway. ----------------------------------------------------- The same thing applies to everything you say.

Of course because YOU said that most B&E's happen during the day thats ALL I NEED to go out and sell all my guns.

well you seem to have inside details of what tactics criminals use. Its a good plan...because I have a job...and I do leave every day during the week for work. Of course now all you need is the combination to the safe...and where its hidden. Good Luck.

My father bought 150 (30) round magazines a week before newtown. Looks like that was a good idea now.

Go back under your rock.

How's the weather under that bridge?

did you just hear what you just said? Since I am a law abiding citizen, I would give up my guns because your imperial leader decided so. So I would be a sitting duck for home invasions. Then you said Im not smart enough to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES...oh why? because I try to follow the law. And when my shit gets robbed the best thing you have to say is that I should have made a fertilizer bomb with my bare hands and blown them the fuck up. Great idea.
