just seen this on the TV.

At the information there is pretty much no information going around about it.

I found this tidbit on the FOX page that zeocrashed linked to more interesting:


NRA asks law enforcement to sign a pledge vowing not to confiscate citizens' guns during a crisis.


HA! As if any 'pledge' would keep the JBT's from doing what they're going to do anyways! :rolleyes:

Now they're saying it was power tools in the basement.....

Truth or cover-up???????

Who needs actual weapons when a couple of tactically placed anonymous phonecalls and firecrackers can effectively shut down an entire block+? With enough chaff, so to speak, counterrorism becomes nearly impossible.

Go less than 1 mile from the Capitol building into D.C.'s infamous southeast
area and you'll find that gunshots are commonplace and the drug dealers
are better armed than the local pork patrol. Despite the strict gun control
laws, crime is more rampant in D.C. than even in Baltimore. I know D.C
very well - Northwest + Southwest is party town, Northeast is tricky at
best, Southeast is urban warfare. We don't hear about the punks crossing
the 14th Street bridge into Arlington, Virginia. Do you think that Virginia's
looser gun laws have anything to do with it ?

As ever, it's only when the risk is to those that matter (the politicians and their friends) that anything gets done.
