Anti-Gun Newspaper hires ARMED GUARDS!
The list of hypocrites grows daily.

'JOURNAL NEWS' hires armed security guards after 'name and shame' of armed citizens...

Guns: Good for the Goose but NOT for the Gander.

A Clarkstown police report issued on December 28, 2012, confirmed that The Journal News has hired armed security guards from New City-based RGA Investigations and that they are manning the newspaper's Rockland County headquarters at 1 Crosfield Ave., West Nyack, through at least tomorrow, Wednesday, January 2, 2013.
According to police reports on public record, Journal News Rockland Editor Caryn A. McBride was alarmed by the volume of "negative correspondence," namely an avalanche of phone calls and emails to the Journal News office, following the newspaper's publishing of a map of all pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester.
Due to apparent safety concerns, the newspaper then decided to hire RGA Investigations to provide armed personnel to man the location.

I loved it when somebody, whose personal information was posted by the newspaper, in turn posted all of the names and addresses of the newspaper staff.

Posting private information: Good for the Gander but NOT for the Goose.

Rosie vs. Reality: What Every Woman Must Know:Over 500 women use firearms to defend themselves against sexual assault or abuse each day — that’s one woman protected every 3 minutes.
Gun Control's Self-Refuting Arguments. Like LaPierre said, the only thing that'll stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The only problem the left really has with this is that the proposal was made by the NRA. When Bill Clinton said largely the same thing after Columbine, it was the most brilliant thing ever.

Cops in Schools. The NRA's executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, has been the subject of Beltway ire for his proposal to put police officers in schools across the country; the White House, lawmakers, and political analysts on both sides of the aisle have summarily denounced him. Rewind just 13 years, though, and many of these lawmakers were cheering a proposal that bears a remarkable resemblance to the one set forth by the NRA: President Clinton's "COPS in Schools" program.

San Antonio Shooting

On Sunday, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend.
After he shot her, most of the people in the restaurant fled next door to a theater.
The gunman followed them and entered the theater so he could shoot more people.
He started shooting and people in the theater started running and screaming.

It's like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant!

Now aren't you wondering why this isn't a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting?
There was an off duty county deputy at the theater.
SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone.

So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.
Only the local media covered it.

The city is giving her a medal next week. Just thought you'd like to know.

America Doesn’t Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Gang Problem

Chicago’s murder numbers have hit that magic 500. Baltimore’s murder toll has passed 200. In Philly, it’s up to 324, the highest since 2007. In Detroit, it’s approaching 400, another record. In New Orleans, it’s almost at 200. New York City is down to 414 from 508. In Los Angeles, it’s over 500. In St. Louis it’s 113 and 130 in Oakland. It’s 121 in Memphis and 76 in Birmingham.

Washington, D.C., home of the boys and girls who can solve it all, is nearing its own big 100.

Those 12 cities alone account for nearly 3,200 dead and nearly a quarter of all murders in the United States. And we haven’t even visited sunny Atlanta or chilly Cleveland.

Atlanta had 87 - the lowest since 1963 - Georgia is a shall issue state.

It seems the whole basis of the second amendment is this fear of a tyrannical government. It seems paranoid to me. But if this is valid then surely the point is to make changes in a legal or oversight way that prevents tyranny. Not too hard if you think about it.

I thought about it. Too hard for me. How is it done?

Baltimore records deadliest month in more than 40 years

The 43 killings in May surpassed the 42 homicides the city saw in August 1990, and left Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake defending police and her administration.

Baltimore has recorded more homicides in a single month: There were 44 in December 1971 and 45 in August 1972.

But in that era, the city had approximately 908,000 residents — nearly 300,000 more than today.
