Notes From All Over...

And behold, AG Holder is advocating moderating the War On Drugs. Really, America Land Of The Free should not have 2.5 million people behind bars, more than China or Russia, known dictatorships. Especially since drugs are usually a victimless crime. And even if drugs absolutely must be punished, some public service weekends or at most a couple of weeks in jail would seem sufficient. The last thing we need is a profit driven prison industry lobbying for harsher & harsher laws to roll up their profits. So he will be called soft on crime. Coddling drug lords.

Instead of deadly force, there are weapons that shoot darts connected to wires to give an electric shock that disables an opponent.

NON-LETHAL!

Re: Gun Control

That is a seriously superb idea! Gunshots are not that easy to recover from, but electrical shock (mild) or sedative darts would be a ton less serious medically. The Zimmerman case would have been a nothing if Zimmerman had shot Martin with a sedative dart. A seriously excellent idea. Ramp down deadliness as much as possible across the board.

Re: Gun Control

The Zimmerman case would have been a nothing if Zimmerman had shot Martin with a sedative dart.

It s now revealed that Zimmerman apparently had a fight with his wife the day that Trayvon was killed. She wasn't even at home that night. She had retreated to her parents house. This would certainly go to Zimmerman's state of mind that night.

It appears that Zimmerman and his wife are now separated and she refuses to deny that a divorce is possible. Zimmerman has a history of sexually abusing women and physical assault on both men and women. He is an ongoing threat to society and he is now armed with guns again.

STRICT GUN CONTROL NOW!

Re: Gun Control

There have been a couple of horrible cases recently; the Australian student in the US shot and killed for entertainment by 2 Black kids and a white kid, and another Black on white fun shooting somewhere else. Its a little hard to keep track of em all, sorry. Anyway, I think the Zimmerman verdict sent a really bad message. it said killing people is OK. It couldn't possibly have been any clearer. Is that a message you really want going out from your courts? Maybe if those kids had seen justice, at least SOME justice, exacted against Zimmerman they would have understood that killing people is NOT OK, and that it will be punished. Maybe they even had some kind of vengeance in mind. It was so much like the not guilty verdicts against the 4 LA cops who beat the crap out of Rodney King: we are white, we can get away with it, its OK because we are white. Even if some white people are prejudiced, we need to accept that all of us live in this country and it is much better to have us pee outside of the tent than on one another inside.

Re: Gun Control

Zimmerman in trouble again, another speeding ticket and his marriage seems to be breaking up. I got a speeding ticket in 1972 for doing 41 in a 25 zone, they had me on radar so how could I deny it? Later that year radar scopes were shown to be giving defective readings, other than that bogus ticket, no tickets. Do you get speeding tickets every couple of weeks? Seems like a kinda irresponsible guy. Sort of taking the law into his own hands or just ignoring it at his convenience. Then those reports that he'd been in trouble for violence before he murdered Trayvon Martin. The ultimate violence, but that was fine with the white jury. Seems like Zimmerman is a loose cannon. One can't help but wonder where life will take him. Wondering if details of his divorce become public if that will show a history of domestic violence. No wonder the Fla. police rejected him. Too bad the jury didn't. But after all, they were white. Except for the one hispanic lady who later admitted she made a mistake.

There was some crazy story out of Florida about another Stand Yo Ground killing. A pre emptive killing. Doesn't meet the technical requirements of the law for getting away with murder but maybe he'll get a white jury. Just assuming.

Re: Gun Control

George Zimmerman has a history of using poor judgement and making bad decisions. He is the last person who should have a gun. He is representative of too many gun nuts. I have a strong premonition that we have not heard the last of Zimmerman getting into trouble.

STRICT GUN CONTROL NOW!

Re: Gun Control

Knowing Florida (only from its record) we wouldn't be surprised to see Zimmerman elected governor or senator there.

Re: Gun Control

Saw a posting recently about how, in Hawai`i, if someone gets killed or injured on a hiking trail, the State just shuts down the trail. Same thing for 'attractive nuisance' trails like Stairway to Heaven.'

Now, with visitors and locals getting killed by sharks, there's talk of shutting down some beaches, even though less than 1% of swimmers get attacked, because, "if we can save one life, it's worth it." Sound familiar? It's the old "assault weapon" argument.

We are being psychologically manipulated for the benefit of the few and powerful.

If we took all cars off the road and provided comprehensive public transportation (you can get to anywhere from anywhere without private autos), we would save more lives than if guns were eliminated (and eliminate road-rage shootings, too!), but that's not why guns are on the elimination list; the powerful people are scared we will want our freedom back.

1. There is NO excuse for making personal protection non-lethal,
2. Parental-style protection of normal citizens is inexcusable,
3. In spite of all we do, some people will die prematurely; if we are sufficiently educated about the dangers and can prepare properly we should be able to choose our actions so long as thy do not endanger others.

Maybe a bit off-topic, but it's an intertwined philosophy.

Iowa Issues Gun Permits To The Blind, Allowing Them To Carry In Public

"When you shoot a gun, you take it out and point and shoot, and I don't necessarily think eyesight is necessary," said Michael Barber, a blind man interviewed by The Register at a gun store in Iowa last month.

Absurd !!!!!!!!! (utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false) Gun Nuts!

STRICT GUN CONTROL NOW!

Re: Gun Control

Zimmerman is in police custody in Florida for some kind of domestic violence, and a gun present but not used. Yes, a loose cannon.

Re: Gun Control

CNN had an interesting story this morning about legally blind people getting guns in Iowa. You know...this gun problem might just take care of itself after all.

Gun Violence Study Links State Levels Of Gun Ownership And Homicide

This study comes from the the Harvard School of Public Health and we know how biased they are. NOT!

Elucidate.

The Demonists (Democrats actually Communists or Socialists), are pushing for equal rights for everyone, so why not blind shooters, blind drivers, etc. Give them reasonable accommodations at the cost of 30 billion per year of our taxes (funny how we go into national debt whenever demonists are in office) to make us all equal.

How about mouth control, writing control. It's coming. After we gut the 2nd amendment, the 1st is next.

Entry Visas to Switzerland (to live, not to visit) have a 10-year backlog. Luxembourg is another choice - reasonable government - and only a few years backlog.

Or (who woulda thunk?) we can reform our out-of-control government.

Right.
