Isnt that enough to thwart the bad guys?
EXCELLENT response.

Aren't these paranoid gun-haters always telling us that we don't need to own guns, that the police can be counted on to protect us whenever needed?

Surely they believe that includes them, too.

Or does it?

Evidently you have no other family alive in that case. I wasn't living with my father and mother in law, but maybe if i had been they would still be alive..

He was US Army 30 years disarmed by the state. He was Kodak Classified another 30 years and his wife was a lawyer...

We his daughters and sons in laws got to mop and bucket up that place......

If you and yours disarm me I won't need a gun anymore, because it will be you and yours who kill me and my wife.

All i can do is my best to promise if that ever happens i will be trying my best to take every other SOB there with me.

I don't fear death a bit anymore.....

So don't count on me ever getting disarmed...

Now they feel threatened themselves, although there have been no threats in all the massive mail they have received after publishing the names and addresses of gun permit holders.

Their solution? Get some guns!

The Journal News is Armed and Dangerous

Posted January 1st, 2013

ROCKLAND COUNTY TIMES EXCLUSIVE

Armed guards from RGA Investigations have taken up post at the Journal News’ Rockland County headquarters

BY DYLAN SKRILOFF

Journal News' Rockland headquarters in West Nyack, Town of Clarkstown

Guns are good for the goose but NOT for the gander.



[update---Putnam County officials have since announced their intention to not comply with the Journal News' request for the names and addresses of pistol permit holders]
F'in hypocrites!

if you say so..... I suppose you think the cops do that part too

of course all we knew was that on Saturday morning the phone rang and we dropped what we were doping, made a few calls got on a plane, got off the plane took cab ended up at the scene and as all 4 daughters with husbands in tow began to clean up HELL.

We didn't know anything either. So once again your so very superior brain power has totally stumped me, but I am the one who has been there and all you have is pictures.

Like i said, you and or no one else will disarm me alive...........

Also you will never read about me in the news for ever having dialed 911. My original digital device just dials BOOM. It only has one key ya know.

The best thing you can do is tell any bad guys you may know to stay the HELL out of NH..... it's dangerous here to be a bad guy.

Default Karma

Like Time/Newsweek's foul, sensationalist cover stories, this is the sound of the Old Media circling the drain and dying an ignominious death

'Gun Map' Newspaper in Circulation Free Fall

Buried at the bottom of a New York Times piece might be the real reason to explain why New York's Journal News did something as sensationally stupid as publishing the names and addresses of over 30,000 legal gun owners living in two New York counties. In just five years, the Journal News' Monday through Friday circulation rate has plummeted almost 40%, "from 111,536 in September 2007 to 68,850 in September 2012."
