If liberals in D.C. had got their wishes then people would be unable to protect themselves in situations like this.
Sounds to me like the man was correct.
What nonsense...people running the Boston Marathon weren't carrying weapons. The families and friends lining the streets likely were unarmed. What/who do you shoot when a bomb goes off? The two terrorists didn't kill the person whose car they hijacked, nor did the younger one attempt to harm citizens when he went into hiding. Guns are as useless in such a situation as a post like this is in an intelligent discussion. Would being armed give one the ability to see through the fabric of a backpack and identify a bomb? Didn't think so.
In a situation like this where you don't know what the intentions of the terrorist might be or just how desperate they are, I would certainly feel more comfortable knowing I had my gun handy. Although, I am not sure how useful and AR15 would be inside a home. I think I will stick to my Glock.
Sen. Nate Bell of Arkansas is one ignorant pig isn't he. This is a tweet of his, he has since apologized but you know what they say, once the bell is rung you can't unring it.
There was a guy filling in for on the radio last nite for Mark Levine and he had a good line. He said he hoped that somewhere in Boston two guys were drinking beer and celebrating the capture of the last bomber. He hoped they said " Gee I wish I had a side am so I could protect myself." A side am, rhyming with ham in the new england accent. It was funny.
Of course, if that happened in my neighborhood it wouldn't be a worry.
That should be a side aaaahhhhhm. A wicked awwwesum one. Bostonians are great, they don't look or act like typical liberals - no offense to anyone, just sayin'.

With that thinking, half the citizens of Boston might shoot the other half because they looked kinda suspicious.
But there is always Peter King to find the solution to some of the confusion. He's trying to drum up support from fellow Islamophobes for internment camps he failed to get last time. Suspect he could find a large number of recruits in the database of C-D posters!
