However, I would both feel safer and more importantly I would BE safer if I knew that other CCW permit holders were carrying in my classroom. I already know that crazed shooters could be carrying at any time, since they don't respect gun laws. Why would I NOT feel safer knowing that if a crazed shooter has brought his gun to my classroom, there's at least a chance that someone on my side might be armed too?

Hundreds more were injured or detained by armed private citizens stopping the commission of a crime. And no doubt thousands more decided it was too risky to run up against a possibly armed citizen and elected not to commit a crime in the first place. Why do I have no doubt about that last point? Because the rate of violent crimes such as robberies and occupied home invasions has shot way up in jurisdictions that have disarmed citizens, such as the U.K. and Australia.

I don't see how it would be at all "traumatic" for anybody to know that some of their classmates or their professor might be carrying firearms. In one of my classes, several students were police officers. I assume some of them were carrying, even though on my campus guns were generally banned for non-LEOs, and I didn't see anybody freaking out about it. As teddy4 said, anybody foolish enough to brandish their firearm SHOULD be removed (although in most jurisdictions brandishing and menacing are different things, and brandishing is a misdemeanor).

Chicago and Washington DC have the strictest gun laws; maybe you'd be happier there. Of course, you'd have to practice dodging bullets - they also have the highest rates of gun crime. But at least the law-abiding folks are prevented from carrying, as you prefer.

Those are the best things to do AFTER you make sure you've got a round in the chamber of your gun and take the safety off.

And with the failure of the federal government to protect vaccine makers from the threat of exorbitant liability lawsuits for the inevitable few adverse effect cases, we are losing the capacity to even produce adequate vaccines. But the federal government is too busy telling Wisconsin how to run its business, and suing Arizona for trying to do the feds' work that the feds are failing at.

The very wording of some of the charges you quote below demonstrates the bias of the report, since it ascribes motives and intentions to people who weren't interviewed and whose motives had never been placed in evidence. The legal objection "lack of foundation" needed to be remembered here, and wasn't. The parts I've read also show a selective skepticism about the reliability of testimony or other evidence - if it supports Israeli claims, it's viewed skeptically, while if it supports Hamas's claims, it's viewed as inherently trustworthy. As I said, "Baloney."

Meaning, since Israel did not participate in the investigation, that a bunch of Gazan people interviewed by investigators in front of Hamas "guides" (blatant witness tampering) made claims of "war crimes" that were not, on their face, obviously false. That doesn't make them true. As Goldstone himself said: If "this were a court of law there would have been nothing proven. ... I would not consider it in any way embarrassing if many of the allegations turn out to be disproved."

People who deliberately try to foment hatred and violence on behalf of a murderous group like Hamas have nothing to do with peace. And who says there were 1,400 Palestinian "mostly civilian" deaths as a result of Israel's actions against Hamas? Hamas? Baloney.

On the other hand, Bank of America has helped me finance my home, four rental properties and my business, all at reasonable interest rates and with great customer service. But then again, I did pay them back and I didn't take out loans to go on vacation or buy a new car every five years. Did Bank of America take advantage of a bunch of spendthrifts? I don't know, but if they hadn't someone would have. As the saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Now I understand why - the cops are all off protecting union thugs. Who pays those cops? D.C. residents? Or is it all taxpayers in fly-over country?

Sorry, Rep. Carson, you can beat that old dog with a stick but it's just not going to hunt anymore. Ten years ago if anyone had called me a racist I would have been either infuriated or devastated, depending on the accuser. Now, I would simply laugh in the accuser's face at the blatant manipulation of the charge. I know there is still real racism out there and most likely always will be but, just like there are people out there who are prejudiced against people of Polish or Irish or Japanese ancestry, prejudice against blacks is now an individual eccentricity and no longer a systemic evil. Rep. Carson will have to find a new gimmick.

(If the Tea Party movement is full of racists, homophobes and morons, why would it be necessary for him to infiltrate it with fakes to prove it?) But civil rights leader Skipper Osborne's comments are troubling. Not that he opposes Levin's agit-prop; I'm completely with him on that. But I doubt if he knows enough people active in the Tea Party movement to reach the conclusion that "a lot" of people in it are racists and that it is a "noble cause" to bring the movement down. I remember when drawing negative conclusions about a whole group of people you don't know based on limited and biased information was called bigotry, and civil rights leaders worked against it. People learned to be ashamed of "believing" horrible things about strangers, without evidence. Mr. Osborne, you say you want dialogue - do you start a dialogue by announcing offensive stereotypes about people you've never met, or is that how you shut it down?

So of couse it makes sense that President Obama would diss them and stay home to make sure Americans get ordered to buy insurance plans that cover 100% of their colonoscopies and an adequate number of sob sessions with their marriage counselors. Good to know what his priorities are.
