I don't believe that either. Why would law enforcement and EMS put an explosive device in an ambulance and drive it to an emergency department.
And I don't understand what "partial cardiac arrest" is. Is that similar to being "sorta pregnant?"

Well, apparently the 2nd suspect (Dzhokhar Tsarnaev...who was captured) was a citizen...and the 1st suspect (Tamerlan) had his green card. Can non-citizens purchase firearms in the US? I'm curious where their firearms came from. But then again, for the protection of Dzhokhar's 2nd Amendment Rights, we probably should't know.

Im all in support for not promoting the gun nuts but the allegation that a suspect was brought inside a hospital with a suicide vest on?! Please don't believe that...and that the suspect attempted to detonate the vest while he was in the hospital...and that he was shot and killed in the emergency department. Where did you read that? The media and social networking has been terrible throughout the entirety of the coverage of these events.
Having said that, according to an emergency physician at the hospital where the first suspect (older brother) was transported to...the first suspect arrived at the hospital in cardiac arrest....so technically he was already dead. Furthermore, they reportedly performed a thoracotomy (where the docs/trauma surgeons literarily cut open the entire chest wall/rib cage in order to establish where bleeding is occurring, plug holes in major vessels, the heart, etc.) There is no mention of having the bomb squad, inside the emergency department, remove an explosive vest prior to this procure. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/20/us/boston-marat...

I wonder what she was watering in her garden. Perhaps some melons? Too easy. But hey, nudity, marijuana, prescription narcotics, firearms, a road trip, and freedom of speech...sounds like a classic All American Story to me!

Gotta love Boulder. The police make a legitimate arrest and get threatened by a crowd. Cause', you know, nobody ever breaks the law the in Boulder. Did the person threatening the officers with a bike get arrested as well? We should just consider ourselves lucky that Mr. James William Cranfill didn't commit a more heinous crime...like smoking a cigarette on the mall.

Rather than focusing on limiting high capacity magazines, it would be far more effective for the government, both local and federal, to aim their attention at handgun violence and mental health care in general. In 2010, in the United States, 11,078 people were murdered via a firearm. Another 19,392 people committed suicide by firearm. Last year, 88 people were killed during mass shootings. As horribly tragic as those deaths are, if you are going to make an argument on limiting/stopping gun violence in the United States, why not focus on the actual problem as opposed to fraction of a percentage? I don't think a significant portion of those gun deaths/suicides were committed using high capacity magazines. And Im not saying high cap magazines are needed/necessary either.
