I have a feeling that the time for drawn guns will have come and gone by the time police arrive

Again, more fear-mongering from those who think that guns are a roadblock to an idyllic world. I wish these same people could realize that while we should always strive to make the world an ideal place to live, that level of perfection is never actually attained. Part of this flawed assumption of attainable perfection is that police always do the right thing, and never abuse their power. Without oversight from the people, agents of the government will ALWAYS be tempted to take advantage of the position in which they've been placed. It's human nature, nothing more, nothing less.

Never forget that the truth has very little to do with public perception....

You can thank me for a few of those. I've blogged and bulletined it over there.

If anyone has any links to any other online media about the DC-OCB incident that I don't have here already, please send me a PM so that I can get it online.

Audio from the City Council meeting will be up as soon as I finish cleaning it up.


YOU ROCK Lildobe!
Thank you for your services.

Some would say that writing some of the hateful, unfactual and fear-mongering articles about this could be labeled as "flaunting" their right to the 1st Amemdment. In fact some of the articles scare me, so should I call the police and report it?

In my opinion, (and I think its been said here before), with regards to Contitutionally protected rights, there is no such thing as flaunting.

I agree, if Mr Murphy had been so afraid of you guys and of gun owners then why did he post the response that he did in the Scranton Times forum and also sign his name to it with his home city?

He simply is thrilled to take credit for causing disruption to gun owners.
