• Decorated Vet Arrested After ‘Rudely Displaying’ His Rifle — and Says Officer Pulled Gun on Him in Front of His Son

  April 16, 2013 at 11:39am

  In reply to 82ndABNVET.

  Given the events, the cop is clearly dangerous. Grabbing a gun without warning then pulling a gun on someone without so much as reasonable suspicion, not to mention illegally holding the child, this guy needs to be investigated immediately. I love how the initial charge was resisting arrest, when he wasn’t told he was under arrest and they had nothing they were arresting him for in the first place.

• Remember ‘The Shooter’ Who Claimed to Have Killed Bin Laden? Spec. Ops Community Saying We’ve Been ‘Duped’

  In reply to freenj.

  I’ve got a friend in the military who claims Bin Laden was imprisoned for about a year and then died of health problems, and that his shooting was completely fictional.

• Texas Teen Suing School District After She Was Punished for Not Reciting Mexican National Anthem in Class

  Verce, your “don’t question authority” attitude is dangerous and frightening. When a school assignment requires you to do something that goes against your morals, ethics, values or convictions, it is overstepping its bounds. What if the assignment had been to swear fealty to a religion other than your own? Learning a language does not need to involve swearing allegiance to a foreign country, period.

• Jimmy Carter: U.S. at the ‘Forefront of Killing People With Guns’ Because the NRA ‘Pressures the Weak-Kneed’

  According to the UNODC, gun homicides in Canada are closer to 200 a year. About 1/6 the amount of the US per capita. Still pretty low, but hardly 20-30 per year.

• Is the Veterans Affairs Dept. Trying to Prevent Some Vets From Owning Guns?

  February 22, 2013 at 2:10pm

  In reply to naughtycal.

  But we’re not talking about people going on disability for PTSD. We’re talking about people who have been “determined” by VA to be incompetent to handle their finances. That shouldn’t be lumped together with prohibiting gun ownership because A: the process is incredibly vague and doesn’t seem to be disputable, and B: unable to handle finances doesn’t necessarily mean dangerous with a gun. The particularly scary part is that, because the determination process is not widely known and apparently indisputable, they can use this to simply stop people from being allowed to own guns. It’s a very abusable process.

• Massacre Survivor Tells Senate: I’m Not a Victim of Guns, But of Lawmakers Who ‘Legislated Me Out of the Right to Protect Myself and My Family’

  In reply to dodgedart1966.

  @WINEDUDE Healthcare is a right to the extent that you shouldn’t be denied the ability to get it. That does not mean that it should be provided by my tax money. Similarly, I demand that my right to own guns not be infringed, not that the government buys them for me.

• California Police Chief: ‘A Gun Is Not a Defensive Weapon — That Is a Myth’

  February 14, 2013 at 6:36pm

  In reply to Penn.

  Last figure I read said that firearms are used in self-defense 1.2 million times a year by Americans. Also, for what it’s worth, in 99.9% of those cases, the criminal is scared away or injured, but not killed. Intimidation and show of power are great for defense as well.

• FBI: Calif. Man Hoped to Incite ‘Civil War’ by Framing ‘Anti-Government’ Right-Wing Groups for Terror Attack

  If not convicted, there’s no hope for the justice system.

  Who wants to bet MSNBC “accidentally” gets the facts wrong and says this guy actually was a right-wing extremist?

• Apparently, This Logo Is Sexist

  February 4, 2013 at 1:30pm

  In reply to for HIS glory.

  So Wendy’s is sexist because the logo is a girl? Frosted Flakes are sexist because Tony the Tiger is male? Chick-fil-A is sexist because it’s clearly a rooster and not a hen? Your idea that women never wear ties is absurd. Even with it being more common for men to wear ties than women, the idea that the logo is therefore sexist is also absurd.

  Furthermore, I used to have a ponytail, and my brother-in-law still does, so your indication that it symbolizes a female is more offensive than a logo with a tie in it.
