In regards to Sylvia Medley's question in her letter published in the Jan. 16 edition of the Mountain Democrat concerning her banter with Mr. Edger Brown as to why large capacity clips are necessary, I wish to state the answer that everyone seems to ignore, but is well known in the hearts of freedom-loving Americans. The purpose is, to have the means to overthrow a tyrannical government should the occasion arise, as it did prior to the Revolutionary War. At the time the 2nd Amendment was ratified this country had just overthrown a tyrannical government with the arms in the possession of the people at the time. It's not about shooting sports or hunting, or gun collecting. It's simply about freedom. More people are killed with automobiles than with guns every year but do we ban automobiles? No, why, because we need them, and the bloodshed by careless drivers is tragic, but yet somehow justified. Same principal. A gun cannot load itself and walk itself to a school and open fire by itself, any more than a car can drive itself into a full school bus.
Making something illegal to own, or possess only expands the black market value. Prohibition didn't work. Do you actually think someone couldn't go into South Sacramento or Stockton and buy on today's black market all the high-capacity clips they want, or even a full auto weapon, or worse? Banning or confiscation is not the answer, the answer is in human behavior. Oklahoma City, or the WTC Twin Towers, no guns were used. If I could press a button and make all the guns in the world disappear forever, would I do it? Of course not. People who wanted to kill people would just use something else to do it with, probably something worse. But if I could push a button and make all the people in the world who want to kill people disappear forever, I would.
As for the National Rifle Association. The remark made about the "NRA's only suggestion to preventing another massacre is placing armed guards," really has no more common sense to it than asking the United Auto Workers Union to prevent drunk drivers. The NRA is an organization formed with the primary purpose of protecting the rights of American Citizens to keep and bear arms as prescribed by the Second Amendment. But it has no obligation to manage, police, or produce solutions to the behavior of killers, or criminals of any description, nor the vested power to do so.

Sir: Freedom to own guns? No problem. Freedom to drive a car? Sure, but there certainly are restrictions. Freedom to drink alcohol? Sure, but there certainly are restrictions. Freedom of speech? Well, there are some limitations. I know gun enthusiasts believe they're going to have to defend themselves against a government, maybe ours, someday. But the government will always have the best, most weapons. Or are you all waiting for the day when you can have them too? Is 20 rounds the limit? Or no limit? I want to see assault weapons banned, along with other necessary changes that might, just maybe, prevent nut jobs with guns from wiping out a roomful of people several times a year. And, by the way, the NRA offered that ridiculous suggestion, even though they didn't have to.Reply |
The firearm homicide rate in the United States is 19.5 times higher than in other high-income countries. If the penalty for not securing them in your home or carrying one in public was so great, people wouldn't. Very few criminals would carry a gun if the penalty just for having loaded, in public, was a 10-20K fine and/or years in jail. Would you? Yes, the cat is out of the bag, so should the citizens sit back and do nothing? I do not think more guns are the answer to a safer society. If that were the case, then the US would already be the safest in the world. Unfortunately, it is not. Less than 3200 people died in the 1995 OKC and 2001 WTC bombings. Since then, more than 10,000 US Citizens have died per year from firearms in the US. 17 years - more than 170,000 American Citizens have died from firearms.Reply |
Sylvia, lets not outlaw the automobile just restict its capable speed to 25 mph. That is the same logic as how many rounds a magazine can hold. Lets do it for the children because it will save lives. And your freedom is second to being safe. You cannot be trusted to own and operate such a dangerous devise as an automobile so the government needs to limit the amount of damage you are capable of producing with it. Welcome to the world of incrementalism. The freedoms you surrender today are just a drop in the bucket to the freedoms you are told to do without tomorrow.Reply |
Again...How long does take to switch out a 10 rnd mag....2 seconds...3? Shouldn't these grand know it all politicians concentrate on going after the gangs and criminals they have been coddling instead of making decent law abiding citizens pay the price? Hillary says..."It just Doesn't matter..." just a thought.Reply |
Cookie65: You're comparing a car against a gun, one on one? Ridiculous. Currently, cars are necessary, assault weapons aren't. Cars aren't designed specifically for killing. Guns are. Restrictive laws are necessary because people are sometimes careless, stupid, evil, insane, or under the influence. The gun nut mass murderers who have used assault weapons have been hoarders of guns, owners of arsenals. Yet your freedom to own as many guns as you can afford is not in question.Reply |
Just one more example of the ruling class exempting themselves from the laws neccessary to control the rest of us. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/feinstein-gun-control-bill-exempt-government-officials_697732.htmlReply |
Sylvia, guns are designed specifically for shooting. The same way cars are specifially designed for driving. Both become dangerous depending on the operator. How are cars neccessary? Humans survived longer without them than with them. The gun provides more usefulness for survival than the car. Why don't you want your automotive rights restricted but you want my gun rights resticted? Get over it. The second amendment is very clear on MY rights to keep and bear arms and shall NOT be infrindged. The Constitution says nothing about your right to own a car.Reply |
No to get all high and mighty here, but I have traveled and lived all over the world. I assure you, Americans are not free. Not any more. We are controlled in so many ways. Some obvious,like gun control, some in much more subtle ways like engineered food and legalized drug pushers in the form of big Pharma and doctors. Yet many Americans proclaim this is the greatest country on Earth! Take a look where we rank in terms of quality of life, education, health, longevity. Amerika is a failing experiment, sad to say.Reply |
Freedom doesn't come free.... If you want to protect your right to having, keeping or owning guns.... there comes a responsibility. Soldiers do NOT get their weapons WITHOUT TRAINING.... Law Enforcement does NOT get their weapons WITHOUT TRAINING.... Yet, an 18-year-old can buy 53 weapons at a VA gun show -- Un-checked -- paid (Drug Cartel) cash put them in his car and drove them down to Mexico (ATF Congressional testimony) -- BECAUSE ALEC pushed for NO back-ground checks at gun shows...... Stop the Screaming gun owners.... Stop the yelling and look at the FACTS.... the NRA in 1992 did NOT want Guns near schools, did NOT want Crazies to own one. They were a group to be proud of...... NOW the gun owners have dropped all common sense.... This is NUTS!Reply |
Sylvia, Dink, Darrin; you're in good company with the Communist Party USA. Did you know that? In a January 18 article, People's World, an official publication of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), declared that "the ability to live free from the fear or threat of gun violence is a fundamental democratic right — one that far supercedes any so-called personal gun rights allegedly contained in the Second Amendment." Way to go guys.Reply |
This last post should move to Mexico like his candidate Mitts family did. Dude, your disconnected, out of step, an NRA member and you don't seem to have a thing to contribute to our country, just leave if you don't like it here and take your right wing I want to be noticed and admired sheriff with you.Reply |
Just Leave Then, who should go? Those who support the founding of this country based on liberty or those who feel the need to change it? Any thinking person knows that there are plenty of places that already suits your need for oppressive government and only one place that people risk 90 miles of open ocean in a bathtub to reach. Wouldn't it be simpler for you to venture on to any number of places that offer everything you are looking for and allow America to remain America? If you can't handle the freedom America is based on and believe we are better off having intellectual midgets make all of our decisions for us I will take up a collection for a one-way ticket to some socialist utopia so you can find happiness.Reply |
Cookie65: assault weapons are designed specifically for killing people. Currently, people need transportation more than they need guns. We're in 2013 here. I have no problem whatsoever with my driving rights being restricted. Your right to own guns may be restricted. Just like your 1st Amendment rights are restricted. And I'm not sure what I'm supposed to "get over." My issue with assault weapons puts me with the majority in this country.Reply |
Sylvia, do tell, what is an assault weapon? Is it a beebee gun, a slingshot, a dull knife, a baseball bat, nunchucks, concrete shoes, a drunk driver behind the wheel of a 4,000 lbs. automobile. You'll have to be more specific cause I don't watch leftist media so I am not hip to the dirty names they give to things because they have a scary appearance.Reply |
Sylvia, tell me what I can do to make to a happy girl. I own a Ruger Mini 14 Rancher and a Springfield Armory M1A, amongst other cool stuff. I bought them legally, shoot them legally and store them in a safe. What can I do that will make you and Dink and Ashley and the other ladies happy? What do you want me, as a gun owner, to do that will lower the crime rate, make America safer, and set your minds at ease?Reply |
Cookie, extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into 2 groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. I would guess from your comments you belong to both groups # 1 and # 2, what say you?Reply |
"Shock claim: Obama only wants military leaders who 'will fire on U.S. citizens'" - HEREReply |
VIDEO (21 Min)- "Is Obama purging the Military of Soldiers who are unwilling to fire on American Citizens?" - HEREReply |
Sylvia, your questions, ideas and concerns are honest and legitimate. They do represent the majority in America at this time. Also, understand that if you have any pro-government questions, ideas or concerns you will be going against the paranoid, anti-government breed that are arming themselves to fight their dreams of war with the government. It gives them purpose and they will verbally attack if you do not defend their bubble. As you have gotten a taste, for one, Cookie65 is an anti-government member. Really, do not feed the beast, pay her no mind. And, Evelyn....really? I think you may be kinda possessed/taken over to the stupid side, sadly.Reply |
Well, there seems to be no shortage of apparatchiks voicing their party line here does there? Isn't it interesting that there are so many letters here on gun control , like in many papers across the country? What I find fascinating is that people like Sylvia and these no name contributers (Cowards to not use their own name)Seem so self rightous and offended by people who actually own guns and contribute to this country. God forbid they have the gall to want to keep their country from being hijacked by mindless idiot politicians. I would be curious how many of you who are so offended by guns would rethink your position if you lived say ...on E 14th street in Hayward or farther down in Oakland? How would you do in the eastside or south of Chicago? Hmm? ( I have resided in these places) No, that would scare the crap out of you wouldn't it? It's easy to pontificate when your safe and snug in suburbia...Thats not even the half of it really. This Government, these creatons some of you elected have an agenda. It's to control you. If your good with that then you fit the title of 'apparatchiks'. THAT is not what this country was founded on. Those of us that fight and rail against this idiocy that passes for a president and his administration, we see farther down the road than your near sighted 'take my freedom and privacy so I can feel safe' mentality. So please, feel free to whine, rage, and act like petulant liberals. You can thank us later for covering your ass.Reply |
Which is it, why would you accuse me of the lefts favorite word? Are you a complete moron and that exemplifies the depth of your understanding? Are you so intellectually obtuse that you cannot possibly conceive of any limitations on the federal government. Here is a little history lesson for you. The framers of the Constitution debated at length whether or not to even esablish a federal government because of the exact reasons we are witnessing today. The fact that at some time in the future it would assume powers never granted or intended for it. There were a whole bunch of essays written on the subject known as the Federalist Papers. The only thing I HATE is the leftist desire to assign everyone to a group. I am an individual. NOT a group. Politically I am an ANTI-leftist. Intellectually you are a lemming.Reply |
One more thing. The very same people who wrote the Constitution were more anti-government than I am. Have you not ever read anything they had to say? I guess that is why someone of your limitations assigns "hate" to everything you have no understanding of. Can you hear the sound of your brain smacking against the inside of your forehead when ever you come to stop to quickly? Everytime I wonder 'how did the world turn upside down' I come across someone like you to answer it for me. If your brains were gas you wouldn't have enough to drive a sugar ants go-cart around the inside of a cheerio.Reply |
cllea, "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." ― Benjamin FranklinReply |
Cookie, I was gonna say something about cllea...but I think you got that covered touche'!Reply |
Thanks Tom but I don't think I am done yet. Cllea, if you consider me to be anti-government, actually your issue with me is I am anti-leftist, anti-socialism, anti-collectivism, you should read the entire text of the Declaration of Independence. Those guys were anti-government and because of their view on centralized government you live in a country were you wake up everyday with the exact same freedoms I have. When you read it imagine that these subjects of the British Empire not only were slapping the Monarch, King George, the ruler of the most powerful empire on the planet at that time, in the face with a glove but the glove had a shovel in it. Wake up to the reality that the freest place in the history of civilizations came about because of people who were ANTI-GOVERNMENT. I realize for people like you government is your security blanket and standing on your own two feet is thought to be unfair and puts you at a disadvantage because of people who have marketable skills and a work ethic but they owe you nothing. Answer this question: is wealth spread by creating more of it, or is wealth spread by confiscating more of it? If you don't know the answer to that question it is because you don't want to.Reply |
Do you know why John Hancock signed his name so big on the Declaration of Independence? King George was nearly blind and he wanted to make sure he could see it. He was taunting him. IN HIS FACE. John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samual Adams were all on King George's most wanted list facing capital punishment by the redcoats. These guys were devoting their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to win your liberty. What so many of you don't understand, have never learned or couldn't be bothered with regarding the founding of this country would fill the Encyclopedia Britannica. Lt. Col. William Barret Travis the Texas Commander at the Alamo who lead 166 men against Santa Ana's 6,000 troops wrote "I shall never surrender or retreat.. Victory or Death. The Alamo is the birthplace of Texas freedom. Everyone in America owes a debt of gratitude to these and countless others in American history. What a shame that so many would trade what so many paid for in exchange for a handout.Reply |

I am not disappointed.Reply |
cllea never disappoints with her entertainment-loaded opinions.Reply |
I am not disappointed either. I have found over the years that once a lockstep, mindnumb, groupthink, school of fish, copy of a copy of a copy leftist runs out of talking points they have been trained to repeat and have exhausted all of their typical accusations of bigotry and hatred they usually take their ball and run home without answering a single question that requires any independent thought.Reply |
Cookie65: Oh, boy, do I know what media you watch! I got that! Wipe the froth off your face while I say it 1 more time. If you have to believe that any form of gun restriction is a slippery slope that will lead to blah blah blah, go ahead! If you like living in your dark paranoid tyrannical government fantasies, go ahead! Your breed has had its way long enough. A little sanity is long overdue.Reply |
Just wanted to remind the radical left that there will be a California Gun Show event on February 1 and 2 at the Placerville Fair Grounds. I hope to see that little fink Jeff (the one with the FBI buddy) standing out front with his protest sign. I don't really know what he looks like but I think I'll be able to spot him. He'll be the one getting out of the pink Prius with the pony tail and Birkenstocks. I hope I don't accidentally step on one of his curled up yellow toe nails with my cowboy boots. See you there Jeff, you little braggart fink.Reply |
DB, besides the pink prius you identify an obama voter in a crowd by looking for anyone who looks like they just ate a lemon. And Sylvia, my "breed" is what keeps you from waking up under tyranny. Even if you lack the understanding of ALL of human history to realize it. All of human history is earmarked by individuals, groups or governments whose claim to fame is the conquering, extermination or enslaving of other peoples. How it is that leftists believe that those types of people no longer exist and it can no longer happen is beyond me. Enlightenment requires no actual knowledge or understanding just a bunch of happy thoughts.Reply |
Cookie- you sure have your work cut out for you, considering how you and your buddies got your tails handed to you in the last election. Have fun in your bunker.Reply |
Good news, the state can now cancel the fire fee. http://www.kcra.com/news/Report-Fire-agency-hid-3-6M-from-state/-/11797728/18292752/-/dcmo73z/-/index.htmlReply |
Sylvia, are you avoiding me? I asked you some questions above in this thread. I've asked a lot of direct questions on here of other lefties who were uncomfortable with them and ran and hid. Shall we lump you in with them?Reply |
Sorry to break it to you Red but we'll end up bailing your 6's out just like always. You guys really think you've won but in real time reality we've all lost. Enjoy what you think you have and quit being such a piss poor sore winner.Reply |
Red, offering jobs and opportunity in America no longer competes with a candidate who will spend a trillion dollars on entitlements. If you call that progess then you don't understand what a house of cards becomes in a slight breeze. Here is the latest from obama's school of politics. http://wgntv.com/2013/01/26/illinois-credit-rating-downgraded-state-drops-to-worst-in-the-nation/Reply |
Well said DB. See ya at the show.Reply |
Cookie and the rest of the right, the left are dependent people that thrive on welfare and would not know what to do if their world was downsized. The ones that don't receive help have all the money and a good government job, they can set out any monetary failure to the system, they don't care whether or not self starters and freedom lovers have any freedom; they are secure in their little bubble. If it wasn't for the welfare program no democrat would ever get elected to office, they thrive and depend on those that receive instead of the ones that give. Only a true freedom loving American would want to have little government as the founders of this great nation wished. Big government is the reason that we are in the fix that we are in now; so all of you grantees stick your head in the sand and kiss your freedom bye because by the time the next election comes around America will be bankrupt. Then and then only we may be able to put together a nation that is self sustaining and not dependent on our government for growth, the system will be the incentive for growth. Now I will put on my bullet proof clothing and await tribute from my dear left.Reply |
Paddy, hope to see you there as well brother!Reply |
Martin, correct you are. The only difference between the welfare obama voters and the public sector obama voters is the public sector obama voters get stuck in traffic and pay union dues.Reply |
Paddy: I don't give a hoot how many or what kinds of weapons you have. I'm waiting for new laws to pass restricting assault weapons and requiring stiffer background checks, and enforcement of same. When that happens, I would hope you'll continue on your law-abiding course. Since you're the expert on assault weapons, as I am not, you'll know exactly which one you can't buy anymore! It would be nice if background checks included a mental health test to identify gun-obsessed nut job paranoics. But, oh well, first things first.Reply |
nut job paranoics ........ feels good, hey Sil.Reply |
Sylvia, you want the law abiding tax paying citizen to continue jumping through hoops by adding more regulations while your kind allow illegal immigrates to drive without drivers licenses, break laws including weapon charges while strutting around freely in sanctuary cities and vote without identification. The true criminal and threat to America are people like you.Reply |
DB, you read my mind. If it weren't for the leftist take over of our ever declining country we wouldn't have all the problems that enlightenment give birth to. They aren't the answer, they are the problem. Leaving defenseless children protected by a pretty sign "gun-free zone" is just another example of the mental midgets on the left and all their limited thinking only to turn around and blame the law abiding citizens who have always told them how utterly idiotic they are.Reply |
DB Smith and Cookie65 (why hide behind Cookie65?) You always have the right answers and every one else, which is the majority of this country are all wrong. "Mental midgets", "the true criminal and threat to America are people like you." Really? Well, that is good to know. Fortunately, the Feds think otherwise. Anarchy is a national threat. Knock, knock, knock.Reply |
cllea (why hide behind clea?). Sylvia, so you don't think anything needs to be done with the tens of millions of "assault weapons" already in circulation? Just making sure. Some wackos here are talking confiscation. Glad you're not among them. The "C" word has been mentioned in NY too. Hope it doesn't go that far.Reply |
Mr. Furniture, clea is my name! Honestly, I have not heard anyone use the "C" word other than in the Mt.Demo commentaries that the extremists have pouted. I hope it doesn't go that far either, but probably for different reasons.Reply |
cllea, who's there?Reply |
The myth of Confiscation is an absolute must for these nut jobs, because without it there is not much to get all worked up about. The President has not advocated nor will he advocate anything but minor, uncontroversial fixes to the gun situation. Even gun advocates will agree that criminals should not have guns, and even anti-gun advocates will acknowledge that criminals will never be completely deterred from obtaining a gun if they are determined. So, for both camps, background checks are an acceptable, if not wholly effective, measure. Since nobody has proposed any confiscatory legislation, the gun paranoiacs must project that confiscation is "the next step", in order to rationalize their hysteria. This fits in just fine with the NRA agenda, which is to advance the interests of the gun manufacturers, not gun owners. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans desire reasonable controls on firearms, and the infantile Beck and Limbaugh conspiracy addicts will be left to await their imaginary armaggedon.Reply |
Nice talk, Martin. Don't forget to cash your Social Security check on your way to the gun show.Reply |
Cllea, if you believe you are in the majority then you are as clueless about the number of gun owners in this country as everything else. Just because the leftist media tells you something doesn't make it true. Besides that the 2nd amendment is not subject to your emotions. Amazing how the mental midgets believe how they feel trumps reality. If you believe the federal government can just assume powers it does not have just cause you want it to, then you literally favor tyranny. People like you astound me, the type of people the power seeking lifetime politicians use for their own personal gain while telling you how they are only looking out for you. The only majority you belong to is the double digit IQ majority.Reply |
Cllea, I found something to help you understand what you see when you look in a mirror. https://www.sites.google.com/site/paulroebling/home/why-are-liberals-called-useful-idiotsReply |
Softail, everywhere in America where we not only have "reasonable" gun laws but the most restrictive gun laws we also have the most violent crime. What part of that don't you understand? Everytime a leftists uses the term "reasonable" it is the opposite of what we get. The lefts attack on the 2nd Amendment pre-dates all of the made up demons you guys blame for all of obama's failures.Reply |
Please be specific. What specific attack on the 2nd amendment are you referring to?Reply |
Of course, he can't be specific, soft tail. Because there has been no such attack. The President has reaffirmed the right to bear arms. But the extremists see a hidden agenda. They have to. Otherwise, they would have nothing to be PO'd about.Reply |
Gee Nothings going, to happen it's ok, all is well! So please tell me why is the Govt buying so many weapons and Bullets??? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/26/if-assault-weapons-are-bad-why-does-the-dhs-want-to-buy-7000-of-them-for-personal-defense/ ..and before you start whining about this link, do the search yourself there are other links. but your left wing govt sponsored CBSNBCABC won;t run this...Reply |

Lightships were essential partners with America's lighthouses as part of the federal government's commitment to safe navigation on the nation's coasts and on the Great Lakes. While the first American lighthouse dates to the colonial era, the use of lightships in the United States did not begin until 1819 with Congressional authorization for the construction of three light vessels. Britian had been employing lightships since 1731 and by the early 1800's their use had been established throughout Europe; light ships even had a prototype in the ancient world. Moored over treacherous reefs, or marking the narrow approaches to a channel or harbor entrance, lightships were placed where lighthouses could not be built or placed in areas too far offshore for a lighthouse's lens to reach. Between 1820 and 1983, the U.S. government established 116 lightship stations on three coasts and on the Great Lakes - a significantly lower number than the estimated 1,500 lighthouses built in the United States. In all, 179 lightships were built between 1820 and the 1952 and in 1909, the heyday of the United States Lighthouse Service, there were 51 lightships (46 on the eastern seaboard and five on the Pacific Coast) on station in the United States.

Once every four years, Swedish-American singers from across the United States gather in convention to share their love of Swedish and American song. This year, we are fortunate to have this event in our own backyard. The American Union of Swedish Singers (or AUSS) will converge in New Haven from June 26-30, with a public Grand Concert with 300 singers to be held on Friday evening, June 29 at 7:30 pm in the beautiful Lyman Auditorum at Southern CT State University, 501 Crescent Street, New Haven.

Defenders in Action: Helping Ranchers Coexist with Wolves
Defenders has pioneered practical solutions to help livestock and wolves coexist. We're working with ranchers across the Northern Rockies to develop nonlethal deterrents, better animal husbandry practices, and other innovative tools that minimize conflict and build social acceptance for wolves.
Over the years, we've helped numerous ranchers purchase electric fencing and guard dogs, hire range riders, and deploy scare devices to keep wolves away. These proactive methods help protect livestock—and wolves.
The Problem
While wolves typically hunt for wild animals such as deer and elk, they will occasionally prey on livestock when a good opportunity arises. If a wolf becomes habituated to preying on livestock, it can be very hard to break the habit, and the wolf is often killed as a result.
How We're Helping
In 2008, Defenders began a landmark demonstration project in the Wood River Valley of central Idaho to protect more than 10,000 sheep that move through the Sawtooth Wilderness during the summer months. Our team of field technicians follows the bands of sheep and keeps watch over them at night to deter wolf attacks. They work with sheep herders to use guard dogs, portable fencing, starter pistols, flashlights, and air horns to keep wolves away. In the first four summers combined, fewer than 20 sheep have been lost to wolves and only a fraction of those while our team was present.
We are currently working with ranchers in eastern Oregon to deploy similar strategies. In 2010, we helped Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife hire a range rider to patrol public and private ranch lands where cattle graze year-round.
Where We Are Today
Now that the majority of wolves are no longer federally protected, it is even more important to demonstrate practical ways for wolves and livestock to coexist. We are continuing to work across the region to implement new projects and raise the profile of innovative nonlethal management tools. In 2011, we helped Oregon pass comprehensive legislation to initiate a state-run livestock compensation and wolf coexistence program. We hope to encourage similar efforts wherever there are potential conflicts between livestock and wolves or other wildlife.

Kelly: Handguns the main problem on NYC streets
NEW YORK (AP) — Handguns are the main problem on New York City streets when it comes to gun violence, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
In an interview Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," Kelly said he supported efforts toward an assault weapon ban, but that in New York City, handguns are much more prevalent.

Hotel Il Negresco
The Il Negresco hotel in Forte dei Marmi is a prestigious 4 star superior property located along the elegant and celebrated promenade of Forte dei Marmi, gem of Versilia and one of the most renowned seaside resorts of Tuscany and Tirrenian Sea.
The hotel disposes of 40 graceful rooms, all with balcony from which it is possible to enjoy stunning see views until the Cinque
Terre area or admire the majestic peaks of the Apuan Alps, mountain range in northern Tuscany and worldwide famous for the quality of its marbles.
All the common areas and all the rooms are recently restored and the brightness is certainly the main element of both: light and warm colours enriched this hotel, situated a few steps away from the sea and the beaches and just 1 km. from the centre of Forte dei Marmi.
"A real treat and Italian art of living" (Tripadvisor)
"Boutique hotel, elegant and comfortable place to stay" (Tripadvisor)
"A beach treat:) wish I could have stayed longer!" (Tripadvisor)
"We discovered Il Negresco hotel a truly reamkable little hotel with a big heart and truly remarkable staff" (Tripadvisor)
The hotel is opened all year around and offers a beautiful swimming pool for adults, recently restored and expanded, with heated whirlpool corner and a spacious roof with stunning views on Versilian coast and equipped with chaises lounges and sun beds.
The inside restaurant, "La Terrazza", boasts an exclusive and pleasant view of Tuscany sea and it is the ideal place to taste and enjoy the Tuscan seafood specialties proposed with an high quality service.
The services of this property are enriched by a comfortable meeting room with natural daylight, private access from the garden and able to accommodate up to 80 persons for meetings and cocktail parties or banquettes for 120 persons,. The meeting room is also equipped with free Wi-Fi internet connection.
So, the hotel Il Negresco in Forte dei Marmi is the ideal accomodation to enjoy a pretty weekend at sea, an unusual break of few days or a long holiday in Tuscany, one of the most appreciated and wonderful regions of Italy.
The Versilia is part of Tuscany in the north-western province of Lucca, is named after the Versilia river and is included between the Apuan Alps mountain range and the coastline, named Riviera della Versilia and celebrated all around the world. The Versilia is composed by the following famous towns: Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta and Viareggio on the coastline, Massarosa nearby the Massaciuccoli's lake, Camaiore in the hill area, Stazzema and Serravezza in the area named Alta Versilia. In our collective imagination Versilia means beaches with fine and gold sand, sea,sun umbrellas and especially entertainment and social life thanks to the celebrated clubs and discotheques that are frequented by local celebrities. The sea, the beaches perfectly equipped, the many events and cultural appointments, make a vacation in Forte dei Marmi a unique and unforgettable experience; here squares, cloisters and contemporary art live in perfect harmony, highlighted by the exclusive marble of Carrara. Many are the natural parks, like the park of the Apuane Alps, the Massaciuccoli lake and the park of Migliarino. Important is also to remember the various sport activities available: golf, tennis, trails for mountain bike and classic bikes, surf and windsurf, jogging trails…
Many and very exclusive are the boutiques of most important griffe of made in Italy at downtown Forte dei Marmi which also make the city an unique shopping areas, thanks also to the stores that remain open on weekends throughout the year.

The portrait of Ammon Gresham Dunton was unveiled Friday, Nov. 16 at 4 p.m. by Ammon Dunton Jr. and Jim Dunton at the Lancaster Courthouse. Judge Harry T. Taliaferro III presided over the unveiling ceremony.
Formerly known as the "Dean of the Northern Neck Bar," Dunton founded the White Stone law firm Dunton, Simmons and Dunton in 1931 and practiced law until 1997. Dunton passed away in 2000, leaving behind a storied career in which he also possessed a leadership role over several local banks and in the local fishing industry. Immediately following his passing in 2000, the Commonwealth of Virginia General Assembly and the Northern Neck Bar Association passed resolutions in his honor.
Dunton's legacy includes his son Ammon G. Dunton Jr., an accomplished lawyer who works at Dunton-Simmons and has also served as director and president of local businesses and financial institutions. During the unveiling, Dunton Jr. remarked on the impact that his father had on the Northern Neck.
"He helped thousands of people, and his general interest in his clients was reciprocated by their affection for him," he commemorated. "I've had people that I did not know come up to me and tell me about the ways in which my father was a friend to them and provided them his assistance."
Dunton Jr. noted that his father did not retire from practicing law until he was 93 years old, at which time Dunton was physically weaker, but still "mentally sharp as ever" according to his son.
"Near the end of his career, my father needed the sheriff to physically help him up the stairs," he remembered. "But once he was on the second floor, he would enter the courtroom and take his place in the trial."
The Dunton portrait, which will be hung on the old courthouse wall inside Lancaster Circuit Court, was recently painted by landscape artist Ed Hatch from Spring Grove.
Jim Breeden who worked with Dunton at Dunton, Simmons, & Dunton for 11 years, praised Dunton as a "man of many talents."
"Although he received widespread recognition as a trial lawyer, he was part of the American Fisheries that responded to the state department's negotiating team in working as a national diplomat with international fisheries, and he served as director and president of three local banks simultaneously," Breeden said of Dunton.
In addition, Dunton served as the Commonwealth's Attorney for Lancaster County, president and chairman of the Northern Neck Insurance Company, president of the Virginia Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, and director of several local businesses.
But Breeden's admiration was not limited to Dunton's versatility. He also drew notice to Dunton's track record as a criminal lawyer.
On the cases he worked with Dunton, Breeden said: "We tried 10 murder cases together and never lost one."
According to Breeden, Dunton on his own won "scores and scores" of cases.
"There was a man who lived in this area, his name was Robert Hill," Breeden said in reference to one of Dunton's clients. "Mr. Dunton had defended Mr. Hill on the charge of murder not once, not twice, but five times, and he won every time."
Breeden credited Dunton as the individual who encouraged his switch from working tax returns to arguing cases in the courtroom.
"I remember going to a couple of general district courts and an armed robbery trial with him, and I thought, 'Man, this is fun! I'd rather be doing this than watching paint dry!'" Breeden laughed. "I have always looked on Dunton as the lawyer's lawyer."
Today, Jim Breeden has his own law firm, Breeden & Breeden, but he continues to uphold Dunton as a "great mentor," and every day he's in the courtroom, Breeden uses something that Dunton imparted to him.
On what he believes the Dunton portrait symbolizes for White Stone and for the Northern Neck as a whole, Breeden said: "He was a native son and the area's most prominent lawyer for decades. He was the lawyer for the disinherited and held a great following by all levels of people in the region."
When Breeden originally asked Hon. Taliaferro to have Dunton's legacy framed and painted in 2004, he replied in a letter: "There's not a lawyer that is more deserving of having his portrait hung on the courthouse wall in Lancaster County Circuit Court than Ammon G. Dunton."

Note that public employees in Alabama have insurance heavily subsidized by the state. This has been a long-standing arrangement, usually explained as a way to attract qualified employees without having to pay competitive salaries.
However, when the Great Recession took a bite out of tax revenue, budget-cutting politicians reduced the subsidy the state usually paid. Add to that the cost of implementing the Affordable Care Act, along with the growing number of retirees and fewer new hires paying into the system (another consequence of budget-cutting), and you have a pile of expenses and less money to pay them.
The program's board is going to ask the state Legislature for more money to help make up the deficit, but given the attitude of the politicians who run things in Montgomery (and in an election year no less), that is a weak reed on which to lean.
The board is also planning to drop participating pharmacies from the program if they do not lower costs. With nearly 300,000 active and retired public employees in the system, the board has a lot of clout, and it should use it.
At the same time, the board needs to take a hard look at what public employees are paying for their insurance.
It is appropriate for the state to subsidize this insurance, but you can imagine the public reaction when learning that active educators pay only $15 a month for individual coverage and $162 for family coverage. Requiring these employees to pay more is not unreasonable.
The board recently took action to replace the two-option plan — single or family coverage — with a four-option plan: individual, individual with children, individual with spouse and individual with spouse and children. How much this will contribute to closing the gap is uncertain, but it is a step in the right direction.
However, the Legislature should not stand by, content to let the public employees solve a problem the Legislature helped create.
Now is the time for the board and key legislators to sit down and plan for a future that will soon be the present.

Best Tired Baltimore Stereotype
Free Parking
Published: September 18, 2013
Ah, to live in the City That Reads. Crime on every block, crack on every corner, kitschy Hampden stuff that tourists and people in the county visit during December only, a perennial chip on every Bawlmer resident's shoulder. Oh, and ALL THE FREE PARKING YOU COULD EVER WANT. Apparently, if you live in Washington, D.C., this is what you think of Baltimore. Washington Post travel writer Marc Fisher slaughtered many words in service of this myopic, unimaginative, and boilerplate understanding with his amazingly smug, condescending February story, "In Baltimore, finding more than just true grit," in which he mentions the parking situation nine times. Look, D.C., we love you. Really, we do. But remarking with "A-HA!" glee at our abundant parking is like us feigning surprise at all the malfeasance your little District manages to create.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
REMICADE®, in combination with methotrexate, is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in patients with moderately to severely active RA.
REMICADE® has demonstrated efficacy in both early (>3 months and ≤3 years) and established moderately to severely active RA, as shown in the ASPIRE and ATTRACT clinical trials, respectively. In early RA, results were visible in some patients within 2 weeks after the first infusion, and the majority of patients demonstrated clinical response at 54 weeks. The START trial investigated the safety and efficacy of REMICADE® at the recommended dose, as well as in those patients who required a dose escalation.
The recommended dose of REMICADE® is 3 mg/kg given as an intravenous induction regimen at 0, 2, and 6 weeks, followed by a maintenance regimen of 3 mg/kg every 8 weeks thereafter for the treatment of moderately to severely active RA. REMICADE® should be given in combination with methotrexate. For patients who have an incomplete response, consideration may be given to adjusting the dose up to 10 mg/kg or treating as often as every 4 weeks, bearing in mind that risk of serious infections is increased at higher doses.

Goalless in Astana
Kazakhstan avoided defeat for only the second time in their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign in a low-key goalless draw against Austria at the Astana Arena.
In a clash between two nations who already had no chance of claiming a top-two berth in Group A, Austria dominated in terms of shots but clear-cut chances were few and far between at either end.
The result left Kazakhstan bottom of the pool with four points from their 10 games while Austria finished in fourth spot with 12 points.
Kazakhstan had lost eight of their nine group matches coming into this fixture and they looked set for another evening of disappointment as they quickly found themselves on the back foot.
The match was only 31 seconds old when Austria had their first attempt on goal, with Sebastien Prodl's 25-yard effort going over.
That was the first of a host of Austrian efforts in the first half, but David Alaba, Andreas Ivanschitz, Ekrem Dag and Marko Arnautovic all failed to hit the target before home goalkeeper Andrey Sidelnikov was finally given something to do in the 37th minute when he kept out Marc Janko's shot.
At the other end, Kazakhstan had to wait for first-half stoppage time to create their first opening, which saw Heinrich Schmidtgal fire wide from the edge of the box.
It was a similar story after the break with Austria again making most of the running but without giving Sidelnikov too much to do.
Alaba saw a drive blocked just after the break before Paul Scharner had one of the best efforts of the match in the 48th minute, his right-footed shot from 20 yards out being tipped around the post by Sidelnikov.
Soon after that Kazakhstan had another opening but Sergei Gridin lashed wide before Austria resumed their attack on the home goal with Janko, Arnautovic and Scharner all trying their luck without success.
Kazakhstan looked marginally more dangerous in the final half-hour and, after Gridin had an effort saved by Pascal Grunwald, Marat Khairullin almost put the hosts ahead in the 84th minute but Grunwald pushed his shot behind for a corner as the game finished goalless.

Behind every struggling man is a self-absorbed woman?
Who knew dating a Kardashian could prove detrimental? If modern popular culture has taught us anything, it's that reality TV can turn even the most mundane of families into a multi-million dollar business.
And yet the entertainment industry is buzzing with reports that Kanye West's decision to cosy up to self-promoting extraordinaire Kim Kardashian is damaging his music career.
That's right, embarking on a relationship with a woman best known for starring in a sex tape and selling coverage of her 72-day marriage to the highest bidder doesn't seem to have boosted West's credibility. Who would have guessed?
Faced with dwindling concert ticket sales and a lack of respect from his peers, the American media have been quick to pin the blame for the rapper's diminishing fortunes firmly at Kardashian's Givenchy-clad shoes.
"His personal life is overpowering his music," an industry source sniped to a US newspaper this week, adding that being seen in the company of his current squeeze prevented him from being "taken seriously".
As excuses go, that's about as weak as they come. After all, West was doing a pretty good job of destroying his reputation on his own long before taking up with the ubiquitous Kardashian.
Most famously, of course, was his mean-spirited storming of the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards three years ago in which he took it upon himself to interrupt Taylor Swift as she accepted the award for Best Female Video.
"Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he declared, clearly oblivious to the then 19-year-old Swift's utter horror and humiliation.
Even those who suspected he was technically correct in deeming Beyonce's Single Ladies to be the superior offering were offended by his insensitive arrogance, with no less an authority than Barack Obama labelling West a "jackass".
So as convenient as it is to hold Kardashian accountable for West's professional demise, surely the genuine culprit lies even closer to home.
Yet the notion that a successful man cannot function without a dutiful woman by his side, solely devoted to his needs, is an enduring one.
Late last month my colleague, the delightful Phil Rothfield, opined that Michael Clarke's improved batting average was a direct result of marrying model Kyly Boldy earlier this year
"It's a big improvement on the old soap opera days of the Lara Bingle relationship when he more often appeared in Sydney Confidential than these sporting pages," he wrote.
Ah, that pesky Bingle. How dare she distract her man from the important business of hitting balls across a field with her personal dramas and career aspirations?
Just who did she think she was? His fiancee? What kind of a woman thinks her problems and needs are just as important as her future husband's day job?
But, to many, that Bingle's schedule failed to solely revolve around Clarke was a very serious problem indeed.
"With Lara, it was all about her," a source told Rothfield. "With Kyly it's all about him."
Well forgive me going all Dr Phil, but shouldn't a relationship be a two-way street? Why should either partner – irrespective of their significant other's professions – be expected to surrender their own identity and goals?
In a society that celebrates women who put their own ambition on hold to support their man, we are still uncomfortable with the reverse scenario.
If Michael Clarke stands by his enterprising fiancee then he's dismissed as a wuss. But when Michelle Obama shelves her career to play dutiful wife she is universally admired.
It's time to debunk the tiresome myth that in order to succeed, a man must choose a trophy wife for his bride. There is enough room in any marriage for two people, two personalities, and two sets of hopes and dreams.
And if not, then it's time to call Dr Phil.

This garbage is just part of the usual crap designed to stuff the ordinary punter in the head so politicians can continue to be sleazey.
SAm says:
I think its more accurate to blame his demise on his complete lack of talent, coupled with an idiotic personality
George says:
Meh. Clarke makes the real money, the model, probably doesn't. Therefore it should most definitely be mostly about him. No money and you end up having to star in reality shows.
Bogan feminism. Seriously these bogan feminism articles are just posted to rile people up aren't they?
The only people who take rappers seriously are morons.
TChong says:
"Ahh the pesky Laura Bingle, how dare she distract her man… with her personal dramas and career aspirations"
Damn Straight !!!
Agree entirely .
BTW Career aspirations ? pahleese!
Her "career"is "party girl"according to Ms B., and since she still appears in the Teles goss pages as doing exactly that - "partying", then it seems Ms Bs
career continues undiminished.
O_O says:
Err….the primary ambition that these " WAG" type women have is to cosy up with a famous, successful man. They usually have little skill or talent themselves apart from looking pretty (of which Kim Kardashian is the epitome). And to have Michelle Obama linked to Kim Kardashian in the same article is crazy…
So, perhaps we shouldn't be using them as a case study of women supporting men, given that bring a trophy wife is their aim. In regular life I don't know of any woman who has given up their aspirations to support their husband, or vice versa.
bec says:
Kim Kardashian isn't going to be the downfull of Kanye. The fact that he has managed to survive so many self-inflicted downfalls is evidence that the guy is pretty much bullet-proof.
He would have to do something actually criminal or socially unpleasant beyond the point of mere narcissism to detract people from the fact that he makes good music and is an incredibly well-respected producer in the industry. More to the point, the narcissism is now an entertaining byproduct. It's less 'tearing other people down' than it is 'raising himself up', and he graciously, selflessly offers himself as a prime, fatty lolcow for the consumption of dozens.
Nathan says:
"His personal life is overpowering his music," isn't that how they sell records? Sure as hell is not on talent its about marketability.
Tim says:
relationships should be a two way street.
According to the author 'its all about her' is a great example of this two way street in action.
As for Kanye, its clearly Kardashian holding him down. Part of his success was due to his arrogant and cool persona. It's why people may have derided him for the Taylor Swift incident but it actually added to his reputation.
Kardashian represents the exact opposite of that, and its most definitely hurting his career.

Tubesteak says:
"Yet the notion that a successful man cannot function without a dutiful woman by his side, solely devoted to his needs, is an enduring one."
And utterly false. A man no more needs a woman to be successful than a train needs a caterpillar. The saying should really be "behind every successful man is often a woman riding his coat-tails and spending his money"
Both John Lennon and Kurt Cobain were great musicians before hooking up with a succubus that brought about their demise
Michael Clarke showed some intelligence by ditching the black hole of drama known as Bingle for a woman that seems to know her place. Bingle was never going to amount to anything: a third rate model whose career is already over. Clarke is the Australian cricket captain: one of the highest positions in the land. Wasting your time devoting resources on her career is as stupid as the Australian government throwing money at car manufacturers in order to prop up an industry in which we have no comparative or absolute advantage
NESLIHAN KUROSAWA says:
Hi Sarrah,
The Kardashian sisters are world famous and house hold names, what ever they do somehow will make headlines for all the wrong reasons. They are so used to this kind of publicity that this shouldn't hurt their image at all. I personally think that they make a handsome couple for the time being. The actual saying happens to be that "behind every successful man there is an intelligent woman"right? So much for being intelligent and successful though? Surely it is impossible to ask for anymore than that in the show business people! They make it all seem so effortless.
Fame and success these days seem to be more about all those struggling show business personalities taking their chance of five minutes of fame. And all that is because of posing for the cameras? Should we look forward to another reality kind of program about Kayne West and Kim Kardashian? They do seem to lead such good lives with a lot of purpose. You know what? It may only be hurting his image within his own community and his fans from African American background, simply because inter racial relationships can prove a bit of headache for most artists.
Remember Jennifer Lopez and P Diddy as a couple, which also made headlines for a little while. I personally believe that true artists and truly talented names don't need this kind of negative/positive publicity? Only the very desperate will resort to this kind of comedy show. And why not? Members of the public are always interested in a little bit of hot gossip to liven up their own lives, right? Kind regards.
sunny says:
I can never keep up with this stuff ..I thought Kanye was dating Taylor Swift - did they have a falling out?
Canberra Quack says:
You do realize that M Obamas career was so useful that her job was deleted from the hospital employment opportunities when she resigned. Life there simply went on without her input or the job she was suppose to be doing. Paycheck sacrifice yes, meaningful career loss no.
MattC says:
It's Celebrity PR 101; how to revive a flagging career - hook up with a professional media tart, get your mug in every glossy on the planet, bask in the free publicity for your latest album/movie/tv show/whatever. They both get something out of it, Kim will be using it to flog handbags, clothes, perfume, and whatever else the family slaps their name on. Nothing to do with feminism.
Martin says:
You only have to look at Kanye's awful "performance" at the 12-12-12 concert to see what an egotistical, talentless hack he is. Musician's twice his age blew him off the stage. His appearance was a stain on what was an otherwise fantastic event. West appears to have oozed out of the same shallow gene pool as Anthony Mundine.
scotty says:
Hmm. Having seen Kanye live last year I'm not convinced Kardashian is the problem. I love West's music but in concert he was a self-aggrandising, self-indulgent bore. He spent the greater part of the concert flogging his audience with with his needy ego and I'd never pay to see him again. After seeing him live I would think twice about buying his next album, regardless of its quality- that's how bad he was.
simonfromlakemba says:
Strange article this one.
Kanye will still be successful, the only thing hurting him would be that he doesn't release as much music as he used to.
The College Dropout was still an awesome album, just depends which was Roc-A-Fella takes him.
Mark says:
There is a god.
Kanye West is the epitome of everything wrong with American's and the music industry. Little substance, a lot of effort and a lot of arrogance.
