His problem, that another person had managed to grab Jared Lee Loughner, and subdued him, just ...

Re: Those Dumb Democrats

I have a fascination with guns and military equipment just like I do with airplanes. But I would probably never own one, even if the law in my country allows it (currently where I stay it's extremely hard to get a license for just a hunting rifle alone).

Certainly I do not want to be put in a situation where something went wrong while...
