    Thanks for loving my posts, head.

    Nixon wanted to ASSURE he won, and it cost 10Ks military deaths AND 100Ks military injuries.

    Yes, the Middle East was basically stable before the Iraq invasion, any fragility was TOTALLY destroyed by dubya, head, BigOio, Rummy, Feith, Wolfie, PNAC invading Iraq for oil.

    GFY

    Police recover 145 guns from home of Michigan man after he attempted to shoot his wife




    Police in Michigan discovered 145 guns in the home of a man they took into custody after he shot at his wife twice following an argument, the Oakland Press reports.

    John Lewis Piotrowski, 68, was jailed and charged with assault with the intent to murder, which carries a potential sentence.

    According to authorities, Piotrowski was arguing with his wife when he told her he was going to kill her and grabbed her by the neck. The woman ran to the basement to call 911, only to have her husband follow her before pointing a small handgun at her and firing twice, missing both times. After he left her, she ran outside where she waited for police.

    A deputy found Piotrowski standing in the front yard with a pistol in his possession when they arrived and took him into custody.

    (... if he were black?)

    Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, said she heard a scream and feared the incident was worse than a theft. She acknowledged the shooting in the parking lot was a mistake.

    “I made a decision in a split second,” the 46-year-old Clarkston woman told a judge. “Maybe it was not the right one, but I was trying to help.”

    Rochester Hills District Court Judge Julie Nicholson



    said: “I don’t believe any malice was involved in what you were doing, but I believe you have to think about what could have happened.”

    We’d like to say it is a truth we hold self-evident that shooting INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE is not typically how we “help” people, but we live in America so everything about guns is completely broken.

    Proof positive: this lady got probation. Probation. PROBATION. FOR SHOOTING INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE AT YOUR LOCAL HOME DEPOT.


    You will also be unsurprised to learn that her defense attorney is pretty sure the whole shooting into the crowd thing is a net plus.

    Defense attorney Steven Lyle Schwartz called his client a “sharpshooter.”

    “We need more people like Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez in our society,” he said.

    S. Dakota man blames Obama after nephew is busted for illegally-modified guns and bomb materials

    A South Dakota man was arrested on Thursday after police found 114 guns as well as bomb-making materials inside his home, but at least one relative insisted to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader that he was victimized.“They aren’t going after criminals; they’re going after guns,” said a man identifying himself as the uncle of 29-year-old Darren Kyle Zafft. “I blame Obama for this.”

    Authorities also arrested 35-year-old Jennifer Marie Cash, who lived with Zafft. They were both charged with multiple counts of possession of a destructive device and possession of a controlled weapon.


    The suspects also had around 10,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as grenades, and $20,000 in cash inside their home at the time of their arrest. Authorities executed a search warrant on their home after a neighbor reported finding a .22-caliber bullet casing inside their mattress.

    between 15 and 20 of the guns found inside the home had been modified illegally.

    Zafft was served with two protection orders in 2006, and served a one-year jail sentence four years later after being convicted on two counts of reckless use of weapons. He is currently being held on a $1 million cash-only bond.

    slave/red state gun fellatin news

    In Missouri, Fewer Gun Restrictions and More Gun Killings

    Research by Daniel Webster, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, found that in the first six years after the state repealed the requirement for comprehensive background checks and purchase permits, the gun homicide rate rose by 16 percent, compared with the six years before. In contrast, the national rate declined by 11 percent over the same period. After Professor Webster controlled for poverty and other factors that could influence the homicide rate, and took into account homicide rates in other states, the result was slightly higher, rising by 18 percent in Missouri.

    New federal death data released this month for 2014 showed a continuation of the trend, he said. Before the repeal, from 1999 to 2006, Missouri’s gun homicide rate was 13.8 percent higher than the national rate. After, from 2008 to 2014, it was 47 percent higher. (The new data also showed that the national death rate from guns is now equal to that of motor vehicle crashes for the first time since the government began systematically tracking it.)


    Other measures suggested that criminals had easier access to guns after the permit law was repealed. Professor Webster analyzed data from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and found that the share of guns that were linked to crimes soon after they were bought doubled in the state from 2006 to 2010. The portion of guns confiscated by the police in Missouri that had been originally bought in the state — ordinarily a very stable statistic — rose to 74 percent last year, from 56 percent before the law changed.


    In interviews, researchers cautioned that causation is hard to prove, and that just because the gun homicide rate rose after 2007, it does not mean the repeal was the reason. Still, most of them were convinced that the data suggested an effect.


    A few were not. Gary Kleck, a professor of criminology at Florida State University in Tallahassee, said he doubted Missouri’s permit law had ever blocked many criminals from getting guns. Gun homicides in California rose after the state banned one category of guns, so-called junk guns, he said, suggesting tighter laws were not safer. Professor Webster noted that the rise in California disappeared with more years of data.

    Rigorous scientific research on universal background checks is sparse, in part because federal funding for it is practically nonexistent.

    The changes tapped into profound differences between rural and urban Americans about guns. The state legislature is predominantly white, rural and suburban, but the effects of the laws it makes are felt largely in Missouri’s cities, where gun homicides are one of the biggest causes of death for young black men. In Professor Webster’s analysis, the gun homicide rate rose by 20 percent in metropolitan areas of Missouri, but was up by just 1.6 percent in rural areas. However, gun suicides, largely a rural, white problem, rose by about 16 percent in the years after the repeal,

    “There is this idea that law-abiding citizens’ rights are being secured,” said Richard Rosenfeld, a professor of criminology at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. “In fact, it’s
    the people most inclined to do harm whose privileges are being secured.”

    Of all the gun law changes, the one that most affected homicides was the repeal of the permit law, Professor Webster argued. It had required any prospective gun buyer — even someone buying from a private seller — to undergo a thorough background check, in person at a local sheriff’s office.

    Now buyers can apply for permits in stores, which send applicants’ personal information to the F.B.I. Gun control proponents say those checks are less rigorous than before, though gun rights supporters insist they are just as thorough. Buying from a private seller requires no check at all.

    you know the answer, why ask me?

    and how is the history of campus CCW relevant to the new future of maybe 10Ks of MORE guns on TX college dormitories, classrooms, parties?

    Good shooting, dad. Go buy some more guns, make your home even safer

    ==================

    Police say the man thought his son had caught the bus for school Tuesday morning, but the teen returned home soon afterward.

    Police say the man heard a noise in the basement and checked on it with a gun in his hand.

    Police say the father fired after apparently being startled, hitting the boy in the neck.


    Authorities say the father called 911 and the boy was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where he died Tuesday morning.

    25 States Will Let You Carry a Concealed Gun Without Making Sure You Know How to Shoot One

    A state-by-state review of training standards shows that in nearly half the country, there is no universal requirement that applicants for concealed carry permits undergo so-called live-fire training.

    Just 24 states and the District of Columbia include mandatory range time as part of their permitting process, while the remaining 25 have no such requirement in place.

    (Vermont does not issue concealed carry permits at all.)States that do not mandate live-fire training include places such as Pennsylvania, where applicants must only meet a set of criteria — a clean criminal record and mental health history, for instance — to be handed a permit. On the other end of the spectrum, in order to receive a permit in Kentucky, applicants must demonstrate their shooting ability by placing 11 of 20 rounds on a full-size silhouette target.


    At least 8 million Americans had an active permit to carry a concealed weapon in 2012, according to a report by the United States Government Accountability Office. A more recent estimate by pro-gun researcher John Lott places that figure closer to 13 million.


    “I have people who come to my class who basically couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn,” Rich Strohmeier, a firearms instructor in Fisherville, Kentucky, tells The Trace. “I think Kentucky is doing the right thing and everyone else is doing the wrong thing.”

    “It takes 2,500 repe ions to pick up a pistol correctly,” he adds.

    To compile a national breakdown of live-fire requirements, The Trace examined state statutes covering concealed carry licensing. When the language of a state’s law did not specify a training requirement one way or the other — some call for a basic handgun safety course but do not spell out whether that encompasses a live-fire component — we contacted the state’s centralized issuing authority.

    if you think about it, there would be a lot fewer gun deaths if there were a lot fewer guns.
