    If only everybody in the Friendly Way Convenience Store had a gun, things would have turned out differently...

    I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping you could clarify your statements with some of the facts that you believe in.
    One of the reasons I enter into these discussions is to learn about various subjects. For instance I once thought that assault weapons and assault rifles were the same thing, but after being challenged about what an assault rifle was I did some research and learned the difference.

    But since you are unwilling or unable to answer my simple questions about your recent statements, the opportunity for learning something new will have to wait another time.

    Photo of NYC gunman who struck 14-year-old girl in Queens


    A dramatic photo released by the NYPD on Thursday night shows the gunman wanted for shooting a 14-year-old girl and two other teens in Queens a day earlier.

    The man is seen with his gun drawn in broad daylight while flanked by a posse of three accomplices on 188 Street in Fresh Meadows at about 4:10 p.m. Wednesday.

    FL Sheriff: Homeowners Can Save Taxpayers Money by Shooting Intruders

    A bit more information from the article above from Sheriff Bob Johnson.

    Johnson then assured the homeowner that he or she is not in trouble and actually noted that homeowners who shoot intruders save money for other tax-payers: “If someone’s breaking into your house, you’re more than welcome to shoot them in Santa Rosa County. We prefer that you do, actually. So, whoever that was, you’re not in trouble, come see us. We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday. If you take that, you’ll shoot a lot better, and hopefully you’ll save the taxpayers money.”

    If you ever find someone in your home...shoot them.
    Don't worry about hitting the wrong or an innocent person we're more interested in saving tax money.
    And what better way??

    We should tell Putin that he is targeting the wrong country. He should be targeting Florida.

    As it should be.

    Top Florida Democrat suing Biden admin over ban on medical marijuana users buying guns




    Driving the news:
    In the lawsuit, Fried's attorneys call the rule "irrational, inconsistent, and incoherent," adding that it prevents her from "ensuring that Floridians receive the state rights relating to them."

    • Fried is joined in the lawsuit by three people: Two medical marijuana patients and a person who refuses to participate in Florida's medical marijuana program "on the sole basis that they are unwilling to concede their Second Amendment rights."
    • The lawsuit names Attorney General Merrick Garland and Marvin Richardson, the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as defendants.
    • NBC News first reported Fried's lawsuit.
    State of play: While marijuana remains illegal on the federal level, it is legal in Florida for medical use.

    Details: Medical marijuana patients "may legally participate in Florida’s medical marijuana program in accordance with the Florida Constitution and state statute. However, solely due to this state-legal use of medical marijuana, [the Biden administration deems] them too dangerous to exercise their Second Amendment rights."

    House passes bill to decriminalize marijuana (at the Federal level).
    Democrats support the Federal legalization of marijuana thus allowing users to buy guns, by 83%, Independents by 71%, Republicans only by 50%.
    Legalization would require 10 Republican votes.
    As the president doesn't write laws, it looks like the Republicans should be sued.

    After reading through this long legged thread and seeing how people react and think, it is a reflection of the divide in society over this issue.

    It is important to discuss this and keep up with events, but let's not get led astray into animosity as I have seen happen in the past.

    If 15-20% of the responsible adults were trained, practiced and carrying at the fairgrounds, first off, those punks may have thought twice, and secondly, had they still decided to act unlawfully they'd probably not be a problem to society again.
