Gun Deaths: A Familiar American Experience

In America, over one dozen guns are legally sold every minute of every day.

There are almost 300 million privately-owned firearms in this country - that's almost enough to arm every man, woman and child - but while there is a gun in four out of every 10 of American homes, only a small percentage of owners have most of the weapons, with the average collection swelling in recent years to around seven guns per owner.

Charlottesville police say the man who showed up at a Kroger grocery store with a loaded gun wanted to make a point. On Sunday, an unidentified 22-year-old man carried a loaded AR-15 into the Kroger store on Emmet Street and Hydraulic Road, sparking not only a scare for customers and employees but also a 2nd Amendment debate.

Right now, five adults await death in prison for non-violent, marijuana-related crimes. Their names are John Knock, Paul Free, Larry Duke, William Dekle, and Charles “Fred” Cundiff. They are all more than 60 years old; they have all spent at least 15 years locked up for selling pot; and they are all what one might call model prisoners, serving life without parole. As time wrinkles their skin and weakens their bodies, Michael Kennedy of the Trans High Corporation has filed a legal petition with the federal government seeking their clemency.

Consider these questions:

If you owned a printing press in your basement and could LEGALLY print your own money…

2. would you choose to pay your bills by going to the bankers for a loan?

Many of you may think of Vermont as the best state for 2nd Amendment rights being acknowledged- not anymore. Over 2 years ago the guy who runs the fleamarket in Newfane Vt had 5 or 6 fed goons LITERALLY strong-arm him. They told him he was NOT to allow any dealers to sell guns anymore, while one of them put a squeeze on his arm. He said they were FBI but there could have been BATF too. They scared him with the strong arming and a threat that he could be charged with some crime if he allows any more sales. They claimed that crimes occuring in Massachusetts etc.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has become the latest leader to condemn the now 40-year-old war on drugs. "The war on drugs, while well-intentioned, has been a failure," Christie said Monday during a speech at The Brookings Institution. "We're warehousing addicted people everyday in state prisons in New Jersey, giving them no treatment." Christie stressed the merits of legislation recently passed by New Jersey state lawmakers that institutes a year of mandatory treatment for first-time, nonviolent drug offenders instead of jail time.

"A student has been saved from a vicious assault - not by the boys in blue but the men in black." -- I think the headline and subheadline for this article pretty much speaks for itself.....

A Brooklyn man whose assault charges were dismissed remains in prison after already serving five years. ABC7 reports that Oswind David was sentenced to 23 years in Sing Sing because a jury was not aware that a judge has tossed out David's indictments due to a prosecutorial error.
