Arm the Senate!
By E.J. Dionne Jr.

Isn't it time to dismantle the metal detectors, send the guards at the doors away and allow Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights by being free to carry their firearms into the nation's Capitol?

I've been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach. They tell us that the best defense against crime is an armed citizenry and that laws restricting guns do nothing to stop violence.

If they believe that, why don't they live by it?

Why would freedom-loving lawmakers want to hide behind guards and metal detectors? Shouldn't NRA members be outraged that Second Amendment rights mean nothing in the very seat of our democracy?..........

those wild and wacky folk with their shotguns are

at it again!!! and, they're NOT charged with murder either (although they may be). i will bet y'all though, THEY DO NOT get convicted nor will they have to do any time. i'm guessing in some parts tis ok to shoot a 7 year old boy in the face and kill him (it's NOT ok in MY world though)

to the family and friends of donald coffey jr, my most sincere sympathy. my thoughts and prayers are with you

Boy dies after Liberty County shooting
Charges against couple accused of firing at passers-by may upgrade

Mayra Beltran Chronicle

The four victims were shot Thursday night as they passed this house near Dayton. Despite the warnings posted in Gale and Sheila Muhs' front yard, authorities say, the road and the nearby levee are accessible to the public.

Meet the Muhses
And the award for Craziest Neighbor goes to...Gale and Sheila Muhs, of Liberty County, Texas.

Except the couple's cringe-inducing yard sign and Confederate flag aren't actually funny, given what happened Thursday evening to 7-year-old Donald Coffey Jr.

The Muhses followed through on their sign's promise – although, it's not at all clear yet that Coffey, his father and friends were actually trespassing when they stopped their vehicles near the Muhses' house. Not that trespassing would make shooting a shotgun at total strangers in pitch blackness even remotely sane, necessary or legal.

Donald Coffey Jr., his father and friends were on their way back from joy riding near a levee and swimming in the Trinity River around 9 p.m. Thursday when homeowners Gale and Sheila Muhs fired at them with a 12-gauge shotgun, police say..........

and oh, to be clear about this, it's NOT barack obama that wants to take your guns away, IT'S ME

the last time i posted a story on guns

i got a very angry comment. the article was about the present administration stopping the absolutely insane law (or whatever the hell it was) about bringing guns into national parks. the person felt with their whole heart and soul they could NOT go into a national park without packing heat. they felt afraid for their lives. well if you're afraid to go to a national park (same is true of not wanting gays marrying DON'T MARRY SOMEONE WHO IS GAY or not 'believing' in having an abortion DON'T HAVE AN ABORTION) DON'T GO TO AN EFFING NATIONAL PARK

now i see this about texas universities (and then read the headline i'll post AFTER the texas gun story)

Colleges line up against allowing guns on campuses
By DAVE MONTGOMERY
AUSTIN — Texas universities are firing back against a bill that would permit students to carry handguns on campus.

Rep. Joe Driver, R-Garland, said his bill would be limited to students 21 and older. But campus police chiefs and administrators say the idea of permitting firepower on campus is a potential threat to student safety.

"As one faculty person told me, 'Do you think I want to pass out those F’s and D’s with somebody in the classroom having a gun?’ " said Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth.

Burnam is a member of the House Public Safety Committee, which will consider the legislation at a hearing Monday.

Another North Texan on the committee, Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, said he believes that students should be able to leave guns in their vehicles on campus parking lots. But he said he is keeping an open mind about whether they should be permitted to carry guns elsewhere on campus.

The April 2007 massacre of 32 people at Virginia Tech by a mentally disturbed student ignited a nationwide call for greater safety at colleges. Both sides in the debate over Driver’s bill cite that tragedy in making their case.

"There might have been a lot less people dead" if there had been a legally armed student at Virginia Tech to stop the gunman, Driver said. ..........

and here's that OTHER headline

Eight killed in North Carolina nursing home rampage
(CNN) -- An armed man shot and killed seven patients and a nurse at a Carthage, North Carolina, nursing home Sunday before being wounded during a shootout with a police officer, authorities said. Three other people, including the police officer and a visitor to the nursing home, were wounded in the attack, Carthage Police Chief Chris McKenzie said. The police officer was treated and released, McKenzie said.

The slain patients ranged in age from 78 to 98, Moore County District Attorney Maureen Krueger said. The man accused of carrying out the attack, 45-year-old Robert Stewart, was in custody, and his condition was unknown Sunday night, McKenzie said.

Stewart was not an employee of the Pinelake Health and Rehab Center, and he did not appear to have been related to any of the patients, she said.

"There is still more to be uncovered as far as his purpose in being there," she said.

A witness told CNN affiliate WRAL that Stewart was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and other weapons. The officer who stopped him, Justin Garner, "acted in nothing short of a heroic manner" and probably stopped the carnage from being worse, Krueger said.........
