Another Gunman kills innocents

Binghamton, NY-Today an angry Vietnamese, armed predator trapped people in a public building and opened fire on them killing at least 12, and wounded numerous others.

As usual the shooter picked a soft target. It was in The Gun Free Zone of New York.

In the days to follow police will investigate and try to learn and tell us the motive for this mass killing. What they won’t dare say is the sad truth, that any armed and trained citizen could have stopped this event cold and saved lives.

As usual all the gun bans in New York only disarmed the law-abiding. The police were minutes away and did too little, too late. The gunman stopped himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound before the police mustered the courage to approach him.

It’s not the duty of government to protect you and your family. That’s your job. Handing over your personal safety to a government agents via a 911 call is suicidal. That concept defies common sense. The police always arrive in time to remove the bodies and clean the mess. That’s just not good enough.

Americans have got to accept their duty for a common defense. The keeping and bearing of arms is our right. Training and quality firearms are available.

In our society there are criminals and unfortunate people who just can’t cope and are beyond the reach of help. No American need sacrifice family members or themselves to victimization. Gun bans are the problem, not a lack of them.

Very well said Paul. Thanks for your perspective.

Paul I agree with your post.
As I've said many times before; the citizens are always the first there.

Therefore they ARE the First Responders.
Additionally this idiot had multiple weapons on scene.

Therefore the ban on his rifle would not have helped.

So when then Mighty Wurlitzer (Frank Wisner usage) starts to crank up the usual disarm everyone line... keep bringing up how awful it is that nobody there had a gun to fight back with. The larger the number of people who get slain, without lawfully being able to fight back with equal force, the more it can be illustrated what gun prohibition laws do.
This crime, the gunman could take the lives of 13 people... and wounded some more... and the only injury he suffered was self inflicted! Now that's a crime! I'd hate to be one of those people who hid in the boiler room, and have to live the rest of my life knowing I did nothing to help those people who were killed, but run and hide.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...
