Re: Random Gun Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

casinos are basically the new factories in america...its beyond sad but its true....almost to the point that a bleeding heart liberal like me looks at it as almost a necessity

[phillymic2000]

lol its funny you say that because i always question that call as well....shtein phillymic is from illinois so its gotta be red right?...but i think they figure any state with chicago in it has to be blue

btw what is the gov/congress breakdown for illinois over the past lets say 25 years

Illinois has gone back and forth, but mainly since the late 80's to early 90's has trended heavily democratic (except for that abortion Gov. Ryan). Chicago, East St. Louis and my area N.W. IL. tend to be with the dems. Down state and the chitown western burbs tend to be repubs.

The Senate and house of Reps has been mainly controlled by Dems for a long time. I find it funny that the IEA and Unions religiously pimp and vote democrat and these same people they vote in are raising taxes and spending this state into the farging ground. We had an 8 billion dollar deficit from just last year, but the Govenor doesn't want to cut spending, just raise taxes to cover what we are currently spending. This place is a disaster.

Factories as in a place for employment with no more than a high school diploma?

A state run casino is basically betting against it's people.

Uh, I'm pretty sure the dealers have to go to some sort of 2 week casino college.

Personal Protection.

[lurking wierdo]

every time theres violence shown in the media....its always a black thing so where are they leading ya?...to a world full of ignorance hatred, and prejudice...tv and the news for years they have fed you this...foolish notion that blacks are all criminals...violent low lifes and then even animals...

theyve done it for a while and developed the skill...to make you want to kill your own brother man....black against black you see its part of their plan...they want to send us to war and they want to ban rap...what they really want to do is get rid of us blacks...genocide is for real and i hope that youre hearing me...you must be aware to combat the CONSPIRACY!

If you can't honestly admit that BLACK MEN commit violent crimes at a far greater rate per capita then white men then you are retarded.

Settle down, bro.  No one is saying you can't have a gun.  Unless you're a felon.  Or crazy.  Or have been convicted of smacking your woman around.  Or a few other reasons.  All of them pretty reasonable.

Guys like you, awful as you are, presumably pass these criteria, so yay us, you get to have guns too.

I'd just be a lot happier if when you went off your rocker with it, you went to jail for a very long goddamn time.  Psycho.

If am a law abiding citizen that goes through the training and evaluation necessary to carry a firearm, and there should be no impediment to that.

I don't have a problem with this statement assuming "law abiding" also means you have all the permits and licenses required by law.  

If you don't, and you carry anyway, you're a danger to the community and when convicted, you should be locked up for a long time.

It's real simple.  Legal gun owners/users have nothing to fear...gun criminals go away for very very long sentences.

The amount of "permits and licenses" and red tape is pure bull shtein.

Intruder shot and killed by Sterling homeowner was high school student

STERLING, Va. -
The Loudoun County Sheriff's office has identified an intruder shot and killed by a homeowner in Sterling.

The student, identified by investigators as 16-year-old Caleb A. Gordley, lived on the same street as the home where the shooting took place and reportedly had been drinking alcohol with friends that evening. He was a student at Park View High.

Officers say a resident reported that their house alarm on the 45900 block of Pullman Court was activated around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. As the homeowner went to investigate, he discovered an unknown male inside their home. Gordley was shot and killed in the incident.

Loudoun County sheriff's investigators say the neighbor shot and killed Gordley on the stairwell after the teen entered the house through a back window, triggering the burglar alarm.

Sheriff's officials say Gordley had reportedly been drinking alcohol with friends that night.

A relative tweeted "let it be known that Caleb *accidentally* entered the wrong house after a party last night."

The houses are two doors apart. Same color brick and shudders. Same kind of back yard fence. But the front doors are different.

Caleb Gordley was a 16-year-old junior, a three-sports athlete: basketball, baseball and football at Park View High School in Sterling where the hallways were especially quiet today. Students wearing black and orange in Caleb's honor.

"It's hard because we don't really know," says Pablo Rivera, student body president at Park View HS. "There's not really words to describe how we feel right now. Everybody's sort of in a state of comatose. We're just trying to let it sink in."

"It's probably going to be a really quiet day," says Caleb's basketball teammate Nilanka Lord. "A lot of people were in class with him, lot of people were close to him, really popular guy. So it's going to be tough for us as a school to get over this."

"Absolutely great student athlete I enjoyed coaching very much," says Park View HS Boys Basketball Coach Mike Koscinski. "We spent a lot of time during the season. He's stay after practice and work really hard. Extremely enthusiastic. I'm just, everyone's devastated."

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office says, "The 16-year-old lived on the same street as the home where the shooting took place and reportedly had been drinking alcohol with friends that evening. A rear window to the home was found opened and is believed to be the point of entry into the home.."

Neighbors say the man who owns the home where the shooting took place is a volunteer firefighter who is well liked in the neighborhood.

Later Sunday afternoon, police were called back again to the area after a confrontation between the homeowner and another man.

Several people inside the home where the shooting took place packed up a car with bags and pets and left the neighborhood,  FOX 5's Melanie Alnwick reported.

Messed up story all around. As much as I'd like to think I'd have acted differently, I doubt I would have.

Sad story.  Definitely sounds like the kid accidentally went in the wrong house since he was drunk and was probably just trying to go to bed.  Can't say I blame the homeowner at all.....at least not based on the info given in the story. 

[Tomahawk]

That's going to make the neighborhood block parties a little more awkward.
