MARIETTA, Ga. – Police are investigating after a Cobb County homeowner stopped two burglars in their tracks, killing one of them.
According to investigators, late Sunday night at least two people tried to break into a home on Olive Spring Road. A person, described by police as the homeowner, opened fire on the intruders.
Two ended up getting hit, one of them died. Officers on the scene couldn’t give us any information about the condition of the survivor.
Police remained at the home throughout the overnight hours. No word if the homeowner will face any charges.
Being proactive for sure, not that I’ve heard that the Kansas Gubbernor has this on the stove, much less even a back burner.
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- The NRA-ILA just announced that the previously worrisome Kansas bill HCR 5025, has been amended to include language that limits the emergency powers of the KS state government. Previously, the bill could have been interpreted to allow authorities to restrict the sale and transportation of firearms, as well as confiscate arms and ammunition during the coronavirus pandemic. Thankfully this was remedied and the changes subsequently approved on Thursday. More information below from the NRA-ILA.
“Late Thursday night, the Kansas Legislature passed House Committee Resolution 5025. This measure prevents Governor Laura Kelly from using emergency powers to seize ammunition or limit the sale of firearms during the current Covid 19 outbreak. HCR 5025 was overwhelmingly supported in both the House and the Senate. Thank you to those legislators who voted in favor of this important legislation.
The Legislature has now officially adjourned and is planning to reconvene on April 27th. Your NRA-ILA will continue to monitor this and keep you updated on any changes.
Stay-tuned to NRA-ILA Alerts for more information on issues affecting your Second Amendment rights.”
The change came in the form of the following clause being added to HCR 5025:
Be it further resolved: That, for the purposes of this ratification, the Governor shall not have the power or authority to temporarily or permanently seize, or authorize seizure of, any ammunition or to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms or ammunition pursuant to K.S.A. 2019 Supp. 48-925(c)(8) or any other executive authority.
This is great news for supporters of the Second Amendment, as any legislation that clearly defines the limits of a government’s power as it applies to firearms is a good thing. Especially with all the abuse of power occurring across America in the wake of the CORVID-19 outbreak.
The CDC has developed a new online bot nicknamed Clara designed to help people check whether they may have symptoms. The bot is not intended to diagnose diseases but help users make decisions about whether they need to seek appropriate medical care by asking a series of questions to establish the level of illness being experienced.

If I was that resident and the bungler did leave his car behind, I’d claim it as spoils of war. Oh, and that a neighbor had a ‘Ring’ camera? Simply confirms my point that the instant you step outside your front door, consider that everywhere you go: ‘SMILE! You’re on Candid Camera‘.
Police are searching for the suspect that forced his way in a Des Moines home and exchanged gunfire with the resident.Des Moines, Washington: At around 8:15 p.m., Des Moines Police received several 911 calls of reported shots fired in the 23200 block of 26th Avenue South. Neighbors reported hearing several shots in the area. As officers were arriving in the area, a resident called stating someone just broke into their home and gunfire was exchanged between the suspect and homeowner.Officers swarmed the area and called in for mutual aid assistance from Kent Police and Tukwila Police. A K-9 was deployed but the track was not successful.At this time, the homeowner appeared to suffer minor bumps and bruises but no one is reportedly struck by gunfire.A white vehicle in front of the home was possibly left by the suspect and detectives are working to figure that out.As of right now, the investigation is ongoing.
A neighbor provided ring camera footage when the shots were fired.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A late night shooting landed a burglary suspect in the hospital.
Just after 4 a.m. police were called to the 1200 block of Bernice Drive.
According to CCPD, a man with at least one gunshot wound stumbled out of a home and knocked on a neighbors door. They called 9-1-1.
Police originally detained the accused shooter, but later learned he was the homeowner.
They say the man who’d been shot broke into the house.
The homeowner told police the man was trying to steal his social security check.
“The resident and the person who got shot do know each other. At one point the man was living there but it’s been several months since he’s lived here.” said Lieutenant Michael Wertanen.
First the anti-viral Remdesivir with hydroxychloroquine? Now the anti-retroviral Keletra? Each alone, maybe not too good, but apparently very effective in combination. Most promising
……. In a secret trial that was held, they were all given HIV medication, Kaletra and Malaria treatment hydroxychloroquine. The tests were truly successful that these drugs will now be rolled out to COVID-19 patients in at least 50 hospitals nationwide.
The drugs were very much effective
Scientists and researchers started to operate a secret trial on the group of patients who have all now completely recovered.
According to DailyMail, the Consultant Infectious Diseases Physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s and Hospital Clinical Research Director, Professor David Paterson of the University of Queensland Centre, have said that “These medications have the potential to be a real cure for all, unlike the random anecdotal experiences of some people.”
Paterson also said that the 50 hospitals will definitely try to resolve the best way to use these drugs and that this would involve comparing the two drugs separately and versus the combination of both.
On the same statement, Paterson reassures everyone that they are ready to go and quickly begin signing up patients into their trial, though this would only happen by the end of the month. The trial will then enable Paterson and his team to test the first wave of Australian patients.
These two drugs can be given orally as tablets
The federal government has already set aside $13 million for researchers to speed up potential treatments. These can be tested up o 10 treatments and with success, it will go directly through the regulatory approval process.
In France, they have begun using malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine in a small trial. Results only show 25% of tested patients treated with the drug still showed signs of the virus compared to a whopping 90% who did not use the drug.
In China, the active drugs in Kaletra, Lopinavir, and ritonavir, have already been tested in at least 199 patients with positive cases and found disappointing results. A published study in the New England Journal of Medicine on March 18 stated that the Chinese researchers gave 99 patients these drugs and the remaining had started care for more than four weeks.
The study concluded that hospitalized adult patients with severe cases had no benefit whatsoever with the drugs. This took 16 days for clinical improvements to arise. Although, the study did find that Kaletra spent the least time in intensive care….
Iowa State Senator Celsi is a demoncrap. Need I explain more?
State Sen. Claire Celsi’s anti-gun column, published in the Register’s community editions on March 17, is filled with distortion.
Her biggest whopper is that “the rate of suicides in the United States is 10 times higher than any other country on Earth.” In fact, the United States annual suicide rate typically ranks in the 30s.
She claims that the proposition that good guys with guns stop crime is a fantasy. In fact, successful defensive use of guns is more common than their use in crime. The National Academies of Science found: “Defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence …. Almost all national survey estimates … of annual uses range from about 500,000 to more than 3 million …in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008. … Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.”
Celsi misleads by lumping together all firearms deaths, as if accidents, homicides and suicides were the same thing, to write that “rates of death from firearms among ages 14 to 17 are now 22.5% higher than motor vehicle-related death rates.”
In fact, an apples-to-apples comparison shows that the 2018 accidental death rate from firearms among ages 14 to 17 is 0.23 per 100,000, while the accidental death rate for motor vehicles for that group is 6.48 per 100,000. The rate of death for firearms accidents among ages 14 to 17 is actually 96% lower than motor vehicle-related accidental deaths rates.
The unintentional firearms fatality rate, now 0.15 per 100,000, has declined over 94% since records began to be kept in 1903. Fatal gun accidents rank as one of the lowest causes of injury.
There is an increase in suicides, but the problem is far more complex than the presence of firearms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that, while the number of suicides increased from 1999 to 2014, the percentage of suicides committed with firearms decreased during the same period. Assuming that each of the 24,432 firearm suicides in 2018 involved one firearm per suicide, those 24,332 guns represented less than one-hundredth of 1 percent of the 357 million firearms in America.
On Friday 2020/03/20 at about 1:45 PM, an SUV occupied by three males pulled alongside a Mercedes-Benz sedan getting gas at the Shell gas station at Powers Ferry Square, at the corner of Powers Ferry and Roswell Roads in Buckhead.
One of the men from the SUV got out and tried to carjack the Mercedes.
When a witness tried to intervene, the carjacker shot at him.
The witness returned fire, shooting the carjacker in the head.[no fooling around with leg, arm or groin shots, this person]
The SUV fled the scene.
The witness stayed at the scene and spoke with police responders, who confirmed that he will not be charged.
The carjacker was not “alert, conscious or breathing” [sounds like ‘dead’ to me,] and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition. [probably for use as a organ donor…possibly the idjit criminal’s finest act].
If someone living in one of those states with strict gun control laws is so far behind the 8-Ball that they’re trying to buy a gun now, well….stupid is not too mild a word to use about them.
You might not have wanted a gun before, but now you do. You’ve seen the empty shelves in grocery stores. You read in the news that some police departments are taking longer to respond because of the outbreak of the Wuhan virus.
Some police departments are conserving their resources and only responding to critical incidents in progress. The whole situation sounds unbelievable until you read that unarmed shoppers in California were robbed of their groceries. That is why many people decided they suddenly needed a gun for self-protection. Some gun stores reported a five-fold increase in sales.
The Federal National Instant Background Check system reported processing three times the number of applications compared to a year ago.. if you could get a gun at all. Many citizens who wanted to buy a gun ran into our bizarre gun-control scheme and were disarmed. That wasn’t all they learned.
These gun buyers discovered that buying a gun legally wasn’t as easy as they thought. After you’ve passed your state and federal background checks, then the gun buyer must wait an additional ten days if you’re a resident of California. You’ll wait an additional 14 days if you live in Hawaii. In theory, there is only a six month wait to get a permit to purchase a gun in New Jersey, but New Jersey stopped processing applications. There, the good guys are disarmed by gun-control.
Lots of new gun buyers found out that the mainstream media lied to them. They discovered that you can’t buy a gun online. They found out that democrat politicians lied when they said it is easier to buy a gun than to buy a book. These new gun buyers crashed head-first into the 23 thousand firearms regulations we have in the US. That system isn’t easy for anyone.
In theory, these regulations prevent a known criminal from getting a gun. In practice, the bad guys get their guns the same way they get their drugs; the criminals get their guns illegally. These thousands of regulations disarmed the honest citizen who wants to obey the law.
How does disarming the honest citizens make us safer?
Millions of new gun owners and their families are now asking themselves that very question.
The practice and theory of gun-control are wildly different. Gun control laws are not designed to do what the politicians say they do. Gun-control laws are designed to put a politician in front of a camera while he reads a glowing press release. The politician slaps a wonderful sounding title on more regulations that don’t stop crime any better than the last ink-on-paper did. The news media nods with approval and refuses to ask for evidence that this charade really works. The media stays silent because their job depends on being invited to the next press release.
When this political-theater is presented to us in the news, most of us didn’t ask how gun-control was supposed to keep us safe. For millions of us, that changed last week. Today, more of us are asking that question as the recent wave of want-to-be gun owners were disarmed.
Gun-control has never stopped crime. Gun prohibition was designed to stop you from protecting yourself while pretending to make you safe. Now that you’re threatened, you are supposed to go pay a politician for an exemption, or pay so the police will protect you after you were denied the tools of self-defense.
That scheme is tried and true. It is as old as politicians and prohibition. Many citizens didn’t believe that gun-control worked that way until they saw it with their own eyes.
March 21, 2020 – The Rogers family is sad to announce that Kenny Rogers passed away last night at 10:25PM at the age of 81. Rogers passed away peacefully at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family.
In a career that spanned more than six decades, Kenny Rogers left an indelible mark on the history of American music. His songs have endeared music lovers and touched the lives of millions around the world. Chart-topping hits like “The Gambler,” “Lady,” “Islands In The Stream,” “Lucille,” “She Believes In Me,” and “Through the Years” are just a handful of Kenny Rogers’ songs that have inspired generations of artists and fans alike. Rogers, with twenty-four number-one hits, was a Country Music Hall of Fame member, six-time CMA Awards winner, three-time GRAMMY® Award winner, recipient of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013, CMT Artist of a Lifetime Award honoree in 2015 and has been voted the “Favorite Singer of All Time” in a joint poll by readers of both USA Today and People.
The family is planning a small private service at this time out of concern for the national COVID-19 emergency. They look forward to celebrating Kenny’s life publicly with his friends and fans at a later date.
As states rush to lift, waive, or delay regulations that might impede their ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, plastic bag bans are being tossed aside.
On Tuesday, Maine’s legislature voted to put off enforcement of their state’s plastic bag prohibition—which was set to go into effect April 22—until next year. The day before, New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation agreed to delay any enforcement of that state’s bag ban until May 15.
The New York ban was supposed to go into effect on March 1. But because a lawsuit challenging the bag ban has been delayed over coronavirus, the state was forced to pull back until that case can resume.
The reusable bags these bans are supposed to encourage—and which were considered an unmitigated social good just a few weeks ago—have come under fresh scrutiny from a newly germophobic nation that fears they might aid the spread of COVID-19.
Businesses have been leading the way on this front. Starbucks suspended its policy of filling up customers’ reusable mugs in early March, and Dunkin Donuts and Tim Hortons (a Canadian coffee chain) have done the same.
“Until this pandemic passes, state and local officials should discourage shoppers from bringing their potentially virus-laden reusable bags out in public. Restore single-use bags, including the plastic kind,” wrote the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board on Monday.
The mayor of a town in Maine has actually called for a ban on reusable bags.
How likely is it that reusable bags will give you Covid-19? That’s still something of an open question. John Tierney, writing in City Journal, notes that numerous studies have shown reusable bags’ potential to transmit bacteria and viruses. And recent research has shown that the virus can live on plastic surfaces for up to three days. So single-use bags might be better for avoiding the spread of the disease, as they will be tossed immediately and not left lying around the house where multiple people migh come into repeat contact with it.
That said, the Centers for Disease Control downplay the risk of surface transmission on their website, saying that while it is possible to catch COVID-19 from touching objects and then touching your face, “this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”
Two epidemiologists interviewed by Slate about grocery store best practices also said reusable bags did not pose much of added risk. “I doubt it’s going to be a problem,” said Stephen Morse, a professor of epidemiology at the Columbia University Medical Center. “If you’re really worried, you can always wipe down the bag with mild detergent or a disinfecting wipe, but that shouldn’t be necessary unless the bag gets some unexpected exposure to contaminated material.”
Well, Paul did make the point that there could be what might be called a steep ‘learning curve’ for parents who start home schooling.
“4 minutes of free play and only an hour of Greek?
I just don’t understand today’s permissive parenting.”
I see a lot of parents sharing the stay-at-home schedules they have set up for their kids. @NatalieGExum and I have three kids — ages 5, 3, and 1 — who had a BLAST yesterday. Hopefully this will give you some ideas! pic.twitter.com/kvZPOYNBmU
A man was shot in the leg Wednesday while trying to break into a home in Gwinnett County, police said.
According to a Gwinnett police report, the resident was in the bedroom of his home on Peachtree Street when he heard loud banging at his back door shortly before 9 p.m.
The man told officers he grabbed his gun and ran to the door before firing two or three shots. He heard a man screaming and opened the door to find the suspect, 38-year-old Ronald Reuben Hayes of Doraville, with a gunshot wound to the leg, authorities said.
The resident then locked his door, grabbed his cellphone and called 911, according to police.
Hayes was taken to the hospital but is expected to survive, Gwinnett police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said. After he is released, he will be taken to the Gwinnett jail on a charge of first-degree burglary.
No charges will be filed against the resident who shot him, police said.
HAMILTON Ohio– Two men were shot late Tuesday night after apparently breaking into a Hamilton residence.
A resident at a house in the 500 block of Buckeye Street said at about 11:10 p.m. the two suspects forced entry into his house and attempted to rob him, according to the police report.
The two suspects were both shot and sustained non-life threatening injuries, according to Sgt. Richard Burkhardt. One man was transported to an area hospital from the scene, and another showed up later at a hospital.
“He (the resident) said he shot them when they came in and tried to rob him,” Burkhardt said.
No charges have been filed, and detectives are continuing to investigate.
PALESTINE, Texas — A Palestine man is in critical condition after being shot while reportedly burglarizing a home early Wednesday morning.
According to the Palestine Police Department, around 1 a.m., officials responded to a residence in the 100 block of Clearview after a resident reported their home was being burglarized.
PPD dispatch also received multiple calls from neighbors reporting hearing shots fired. Officers were to the area looking for a prowler that had been reported by a resident in the 200 block of Parkcrest about 30 minutes earlier.
Officers arrived and found a man, identified as Oscar Oliver, 39, of Palestine, lying in the yard in front of the residence.
After placing Oliver in handcuffs, police say they discovered that he had two apparent gunshot wounds to the neck and abdomen. Officers also reportedly found nearly six grams of suspected methamphetamine in Oliver’s pocket. EMS was then called to the scene.
Officers spoke with the homeowner, who stated he and his wife were woken by someone making noises in their home. The homeowner checked his home and reports seeing Oliver exiting the front door.
The homeowner said Oliver had broke into their vehicle which was parked in the driveway. The homeowner then fired multiple shots from a 9mm handgun at Oliver, striking him two times
Police say a doorbell camera installed at the home captured Oliver breaking a window and entering the home.
Oliver was lifeflighted to a Tyler hospital where he remains in critical condition. Upon his release, Oliver will be charged with burglary of habitation and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Because of Governor Greg Abbott’s recent state disaster declaration, both charges will be upgraded to a first-degree felony and third-degree felony, respectively. Oliver is also being charged with possession of a controlled substance.
“This homeowner acted well within his rights to protect his family and his home.” PPD interim Police Chief Mark Harcrow said. “Based on the facts of this case, we will recommend that charges not be filed for the shooting. Ultimately, that is for the grand jury to decide.”
I think we’ve all noticed the 24/7 saturation of the news with stories of bare shelves, inadequate ventilator supply, and bodies on the verge of dropping in the streets. A more cynical side of my brain is saying that forcing kids to be underfoot all day is contributing to the exhaustion – both physical and mental – and also contributing to the financial worries of families.
So.
Is the Kung Flu a serious problem?
Maybe.
But the more serious problem is that the Eternal Trifecta of Leftism (Politicians/Bureaucrats, Academics/Educators, and The Official Media) is pushing so hard for Americans to follow a course of action that is detrimental to OUR economy/political structure, and beneficial to the Mainland Chinese.
They are the reason that many of us have felt a gradual rise in panic. They are the reason that governors have clamped down on public gatherings, informal assemblies, and church attendance. This is Step One of the Leftist Plan to Take It ALL. If we can’t gather, we cannot exercise our right to protest. If they control the Media, where will we get contrary information (NOW do you see why they fight so hard to Cancel non-Leftist voices?). They only need a quick pull of the Internet pipeline to completely shut us up.
Has anyone noticed that MOST of the governors that shut down their states and cities (beyond what Trump had suggested) are Democrats?
By suggesting self-isolation earlier than the Left anticipated, Trump may have bought us time. Time to fight back. Time to find work-arounds for Official Media.
And, the fact is, we ARE beginning to notice – that, although TP can be difficult to find, grocery stores are mostly filled with pleasant people, just like out other neighbors. That churches and families are managing to meet online. That private citizens and private charities are stepping up their actions, and looking out for their neighbors and families.
And, most significantly, that the people infected aren’t falling like flies.
I fully anticipate that, when the period of “social isolation” ends, we will have a bruised, but functioning, society. We won’t be burying unusual numbers of people – in fact, there may be fewer, without as many auto accidents and bar fights.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, there will not generally be shootouts in families. Nor roving gangs of armed thugs, eager to liberate the TP from your clutching fingers. Most families had some food in the pantry, and sensibly bought to augment it. Unlike the starving hordes of most Leftist revolutions, we are well-fed (most of us TOO well fed). By now, most people have enough to get by in food and medicine, and are doing their best to keep calm.
Rather than watching Coronavirus hysteria, 24/7, we’re binging on reruns, Netflix, and – OMZ! – taking up OFFLINE pursuits. People are playing cards, working on their lawns and gardens, enjoying talking to people with virtual means, and just treating this like an extended vacation.

He who already have gun and ammo can laugh in face of imperious dictator
“Bay Area orders ‘shelter in place,’ only essential businesses open in 6 counties,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday. “Businesses that do not provide ‘essential’ services must send workers home. Among those remaining open are grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants for delivery only and hardware stores.”
What about gun stores? If we’re talking that which is essential, what is it the Founders deemed “necessary to the security of a free State”? How is that not relevant in this situation that has developed into what we are being told is a national and global state of emergency? We’ve already seen government has been utterly incapable of protecting the populace, and it appears things are only going to get worse and resources more strained. What do we do if civil order collapses, those resources are triaged and most areas are essentially left to fend for themselves?
I sent a copy of the City and County of San Francisco order to a prominent name in the “gun rights” movement with resources to file legal actions and was essentially dismissed when he replied, “since there are no gun stores left in San Francisco it is of no consequence.” I’m not going to name him here because we have enough to tackle without starting another internecine squabble and I suspect he’ll come around. Remember, we’re talking “6 counties” and the Chronicle report notes “the orders…are all similarly worded.”
There are plenty of gun shops in the Bay Area. And they are not specifically deemed “essential,” which means they interpretively fall under the closure order. The thing is, there’s not a lot out there right now to corroborate my opinion coming from either government or “news” sources, so I checked some of the websites and social media accounts for some of the stores listed at the above link.
“Reed’s will be closed through April 7th. If you have a gun to pick-up, you will receive a call with further information.”
Reed’s also included a link to the Santa Clara County order in their post. See “Section 10.f.” for those businesses declared “essential”:
See anything missing? (Screenshot by D. Codrea)
What this means is, the Bay Area’s anti-gun (in private hands) rulers could be having an eye-rolling feeding frenzy come true and be exploiting the crisis to make sure that citizens who don’t have guns and/or ammunition stay disarmed as it worsens and turns into who knows what?
I put in inquiries to a couple of other places Tuesday night but they have not responded at this writing. I just got off the phone moments ago with one where the clerk confirmed they were affected and who referred me to his manager, who was understandably reluctant to speak to anyone from the media. You can’t blame him, the unfair way these guys are consistently treated. Another store manager, who was not willing to go on the record due to the same reluctance to talk to media, informed me not all stores are closing including his, and that they interpret the order to exclude essential businesses, of which they consider themselves.
That’s the proper and principled attitude to take, but it may not prove to be one that holds up in enforcement actions, especially in the Bay Area, so I called Santa Clara County for clarification. Their rep wouldn’t give me a direct answer and I am now waiting for him to email me a hotline number accessible from out of the area. If this article is posted before I get the information, I will update it when and if I do, but note when he found out what I wanted he couldn’t seem to hang up fast enough (and I subsequently sent them a Facebook message).
But after customers lined up around gun stores in several counties Tuesday — including outside the Bullseye Bishop in San Jose — San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo declared that “gun stores are non-essential.”
While some will no doubt conclude Bay Area constituents are getting just what they voted for, good and hard, we have no real assurances that the same ordered closures will not happen at the national level — especially if we start seeing increased urban violence and Astroturf disarmament zealots, control freak politicians, and the media start screaming.
Case in point, check out what the U.S. Department of Homeland Security considers to be “National Critical Functions”:
“The functions of government and the private sector so vital to the United States that their disruption, corruption, or dysfunction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.”
Anybody see anything in there about the Constitutional Militia, or the right of the people to keep and bear arms? Will there ever be a time to activate “the Militia of the several States”? Before it’s too late and some of us just say the hell with it and activate ourselves out of raw survival instinct…?
Of course not—the intent is for the populace to turn to a provide-all government interested primarily in maintaining and increasing its power, even when they clearly don’t know what the hell they’re doing and opposing factions are exploiting the crisis for political advantage. That’s especially troubling considering our supposedly “pro-gun” administration is still of the official opinion, even after being publicly petitioned, that “The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.”
The marketplace is essential to freedom. Constitutional scholar Edwin Viera Jr. has demonstrated, among other places, in his Motion for Leave to File Brief Amici Curiae to the Supreme Court of the United States in Kolbe v. Hogan:
“This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.”
The president doesn’t shy away from issuing executive actions on guns when they serve his purposes and he is depending on gun owners to be reelected in November. It would be more than appropriate if he ordered Homeland Security to recognize the need of the people to lawfully obtain guns during national emergencies to the point that a disruption in supply “would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.”
Do it, Mr. President.
Unless it’s all been just words and the Second Amendment is now officially deemed “non-essential.”
‘cause and manner of his death were still pending’ ??
Let me take a guess that it will be determined he was shot to death.
A man shot while allegedly committing a burglary in Mullica Township later died of his injuries, authorities said.
Paul Destefano, 30, of Mullica Township broke into a home on the 3000 block of Moores Avenue early Monday morning and was shot by a “civilian.” He was taken to Atlanticare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City after someone called 911 to report the incident around 3 a.m., according to a statement from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office
Destefano died at the hospital on Wednesday and the cause and manner of his death were still pending the results of an autopsy that was expected to be completed later this week, the office said.
A person who was involved in the shooing is known by police, but they were not publicly identified Wednesday and no charges have been filed in the investigation, which remains under investigation, according to the statement.
