Just a thought,  but isn’t there some kind of “equal exposure” campaign rules that could be applied to Opra’s relentless plugging of Barak Obama? 

I haven’t picked a candidate yet,  (the pickin’s are pretty slim),  but I can say that Hillary, Rudy, and John,  aren’t even in the running.

Politically incorrect statement :Nebraska mall shooting

Posted by Greybeard on Dec 5th, 2007 in News and weather, Shootist | Comments Off

Bad news again.  The mall shooting in Omaha Nebraska.

My first thought was, “Doesn’t Nebraska have a CCW law”.

Answer:  Yes they do,  recently enacted.

Criminal Empowering part of the Nebraska law:  The city of Omaha is exempted from the CCW law.  There were NO armed law abiding citizens in that mall!

I hope the folks over at GunGuys.com are real happy with the events in Omaha.  They had their way,  a very troubled man with a stolen gun had free reign in yet another Gun Free zone.

The story even made headlines on Aljazeera.  From the way the story is written there,  you can tell that this is the kind of news they love to print.

Bottom Line: 

Gun Free Zone = Criminal Empowerment Zone

Now just watch the calls for new gun control laws!!
