Police in D.C. are searching for suspects after the windows of a GOP office were shot out, most likely by someone using a BB gun:
According to reports, a local wax museum suffered similar damage. However, no damage was reported to any buildings in the immediate area, leading GOP committee Executive Director Paul Craney to believe the attack was politically motivated.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 9:38amNow Obama can stand and say that he must now use executive order to enforce more gun control. If the truth was known, Obama probably sent someone to do this on purpose. Just away to attempt to give us less control of our lives, and give him more control. Just let them come to my house, and try to get my guns.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 9:46amGood for you!
I hope you enjoy your new found freedom.
If you live in a carry state, do so.
In PA we have to register to carry. No problem.
Keep the economy robust, buy US ammo and firearms.
“Self-defense is a fundamental right. The U.S. constitution, the constitutions of 44 states, common law, and the laws of all states recognize the right to use arms in self-defense. RTC laws respect the right to self-defense by allowing individuals to carry firearms for protection.”

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 9:13amOh PLease, POLITICLY MOTIVATED??? Why would anyone jump to that conclusion?? Isn’t it the angels of the Left that are constantly calling for and reminding us that we must adopt a kinder, gentler more cival tone in our political discours. To think that anyone from the other side would have anything to do with an act like this is obviously a result of watching to much slanted coverage of the “peaceful”protests from Wisconsin. And if you agree with this I have a great deal on some prime property for you.

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 9:39amIsn’t it interesting that those that stand firmly behind the 2nd amendment know what weapons are for and use them appropriately, while those who want everyone (else) prevented from owning firearms, use them recklessly! Be aware that one of the reasons Japan didn’t invade our Western Coast during WWII, was that they watched too many U.S. Westerns and THOUGHT that EVERY AMERICAN WAS A GUNSLINGER!!!

I agree there are bad people on both sides. As mentioned yesterday we should be Americans first and party second. What does all the name calling and such accomplish ? Perhaps if we would actaully debate the policies and not the party that is pushing their said agenda we could perhaps debate the issues until we reach a feasible resolution. Too many brilliant people turn off their ears and run their mouths due to party affiliation. Between the lack of solid debate, all the name callling, and polticical correctness, we are slowly destroying this great country.

Report Post »Your argument that there are bad people on both sides is the typical cop out from liberals. YES, there are bad people on both sides. But the left has more instances of everything they accuse the right of. Here are just some examples. The Tea Party is racist, violent, disrespectful, hateful, yada yada yada. early on there were a few crazies that were quickly dealt with. But we could find countless videos on the web showing how low the left can be. I challenge you to find videos of the right spewing the stuff you guys do. or the violence, racism, hate that we can find the left doing. You don‘t see anyone on the right having to cover their faces as if they’re ashamed of themselves.
Look at the way the event 8/28 left the grounds in DC. Then look at the way it was left when you all had your communist/marxist/socialist get together! It was ghetto.
