Texas Prosecutor and Wife Shot Dead in Their Home — 2 Months After His Assistant Was Also Gunned Down

April 1, 2013 at 12:21am

According to news reports Mr. McLelland, ( an Army veteran who was constantly armed), was gunned down by someone with an assault rifle.
Whoever did this was following Mexican drug cartel brashness.
This is further proof assault weapons should be banned.
So tell me, NRA geniuses, how Mr. McLelland could of protected himself any better?. Carry his own assault weapon while walking the dog?.
The Way This Man Was Reunited With His Impounded Dog Because of a Touching Photo Will Tug at Your Heart

Crash444,
I understand your concern about the tragedy of over-population of dogs and the horrible fact that probably millions of dogs are euthenized every year.
But my previous and current dog are both rescues from animal shelters. They are/were both males that I chose to leave unneutered.
They are/were never unleashed, so cannot impregnate another dog.
So I disagree with the policy of the animal shelter in this article.
Justice Dept. Internal Memo Admits Gun Buybacks, ‘Assault Weapons’ Bans, and Large Capacity Magazine Restrictions Don’t Work

February 20, 2013 at 12:42am

This article is so lame.
It actually shows why there SHOULD be a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
DIJ’s Greg Ridgeway says: “In order to have an impact, large capacity magazine regulation needs to sharply curtail their availabilty to include restrictions on importation, manufacture, sale and possession”. Duh!…. You mean when you outlaw something you have enforce the law ?. Who would of thought?.
“An exemption for previously owned magazines would nearly eliminate any impact”.-WRONG.
A 3 year grace period for existing mags. would work. People can then use them up or trade them in.

Heroin and cocaine laws require the same restrictions as the above, yet there are no problems enforcing those laws.
Nation’s Biggest Sports and Outdoor Show Postponed Indefinitely Following Massive Boycott Over New Policy Banning Semi-Automatic Rifles

Thank you Reed Exhibitions for doing the right thing.
Semi-automatic rifles are not “sport” rifles.
The gun-nut-fetish people can have their own show somewhere else, just don’t use the word “sports”.
Nothing sporting about an assault rifle.
Lost Cat Goes on 200-Mile Journey to Find Its Way Home: ‘Hard to Explain’

Thr RV rally where the cat got lost is not that far from Interstate 95.
Maybe the cat simply followed 95 all the way to West Palm Beach.
‘The Toughest Assault Weapon Ban in the Nation, Period!’ and Other Sweeping Gun Control Proposals by NY Gov. Cuomo

Swampy57,
I’m sure you are proficient at firing many types of firearms. Changing ammo clips rapidly shouldn’t be too much of a problem for you.
So why do you defend 30 round magazines?.
It shouldn’t be a problem defending oneself from a tyrannical government with limited 6 or 8 round ammo clips. Just keep reloading.
High-capacity round ammo is the choice of mass-murderers, not citizens protecting themselves.
Tragic Video Shows Russian Dad Careening to His Death While Locked Inside Giant Ball on Mountainside

Why did the title of the article say “Rusian dad…..”?.
Who cares if this guy was a father or not?.
Poll: Where Do You Stand On Guns, Gun Rights, And The Second Amendment?

arshloch,
You, like so many of your kind, equate “gun laws” with confiscation of all firearms.
Gun restriction does not mean outlawing guns.

Standing,
The police and military use their weapons in offensive roles. They need the higher-capacity magazines.
A civilian, (for purposes of self-defense), does not need that.
That’s why people like you have advocated concealed-carry in movie theaters and shopping malls to stop any lunatic gunman. A concealed-carry weapon is a revolver or pistol, 6 rds. or less.
See, you agree with me but didn’t even know it.
