I feel there needs to be some sanity background check and when someone is being treated for a mental illness, there should be automatic reporting by the doctor and at least temporary confiscation of their right to own and bear arms until they are deemed fit. There's just too many crazies that own and abuse guns. Believe me when I say I am a gun owner and an expert ex-marine core shooting team member. But I do not display a weapon like some teenager bragging about their family jewels. I honestly think that these TEXAS CARRY FREAKS are gun crazy when they openly carry rifles into restaurants or supermarkets. That's just plain insanity. There's a time and a place for open carry of any weapons and this foolishness is just an abuse of that right.

That's not an answer, but it's the one I knew I was going to get. My question is "why do you feel anyone other than a LEO needs to openly carry a weapon?". And for the record, "because he can" is the answer to "why do dogs lick their balls".

So really, why do you feel that anyone NEEDS to carry a conspicuous weapon?

And while I'm at it, here is the actual text of the 2nd Amendment:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

No reference to open carry.

Sequential explosions from the top all the way to the bottom cannot be caused by a burning exploding airplane.

Your problem is in reconciling belief with observable reality.

The planes hit above the 78th floor on one tower and near the 90th floor on the other tower.

How did core columns on floors 5 thru 75 get destroyed--as there was no 'pile driver' ... the top floors disintegrated. The jet fuel would have burned off in the first 5-10 minutes at most. In both cases, large balls of jet fuel explosion appears OUTSIDE each tower as the planes' fuel contents are sprayed outside the buildings.

I KNOW information I post is verifiable. I don't promote what I believe or cannot verify.

If only you had the same ethics to keep silent when you don't KNOW something to be so. Instead, you impose your belief on the rest of us.

Once people realize that these accusations of "anti-semiticm" and labeling of "neo-Nazi" are a smokescreen to cover you own depravity, the jig is up for you devils.

I came to my views after thoroughly studying the evidence of motive, means, opportunity and cover-up by mass media, Hollywood and Congress of what really happened on 9/11.

In many other groups, there are 'devils' (jackals) who behave nearly exactly as you, NeilL, Hoot72 and amadjuster behave when the truth about 9/11 is put forward for all to see. Jackals here seem a bit more immature and overt than many others I've encountered.

Just look at 'em.
1. They hate the countries they are from, because they are slums.
2. They move into a new country and try to change it into a county just like the one they moved from. HOW STUPID IS THAT!!!
3. Every place they move to and gain a foothold...becomes a slum.
4. They think it's OK to beat their wives.
5. If a girl is the victim of rape, she should be stoned to death.
6. All queers should be killed. (no comment)
7. And of course #1 - their most overriding thought is "kill every infidel".

Here’s the perfect example of how Larry and 2ther’s minds work. Everything is a conspiracy and everyone is out to destroy them. You have a bunch of regular ole photography enthusiasts here and those that disagree with Larry and his buddies are members of some sort of organization out to get them. At one point Larry even posted that he believes I’m getting paid to post, how’s that for an ego? Yes sir Larry and his buddy are so important that this organization is paying folks like me to refute and make fun of their posts, folks they believe this shit! If these guys can be duped into believing that I and those here who agree with me are in cahoots is it any wonder why they fall for all these well thought out theories they find on the internet? Keep in mind that the biggest share of those they call “rat packers” were here way before these buffoons arrived. I must say however, it is entertaining.
