Gun Control

Posted by Mickey Skinner on Friday, June 19, 2009 8:15:16 PM

My wife and I recently watched the movie Run Away Jury and I was impressed by a statement Dustin Hoffman made about guns. Hoffman was the lawyer for the plaintiff. He said, "If we win the case there will still be killings." I have to agree with this statement. Every time I watch there is another shooting at a school or some other location. Hardly ever does anyone shoot at the assailants simply because they don't have a gun to shoot back with. People are allowed to have guns in my state but they cannot have loaded guns. The people that have loaded guns know that the people they are shooting at are not going to shoot back so its like shooting ducks on a pond. Seems to me like the sitting ducks should be able to shoot back and there would be fewer shootings because the bad guys are not very brave when people are shooting back.

Law enforcement people are trained to shoot and when to shoot all kind of weapons. There should be a disclaimer about when to shoot, because every time they shoot a bad person its their fault. The disclaimer should state an officer should not under any circumstances discharge their weapons until they themselves have been shot at least "3 times." Perhaps then there would be no law suits.

Rule of Law

Posted by Mickey Skinner on Saturday, June 06, 2009 6:46:47 PM

Why would any President think that the Supreme Court Justice appointee should have to be a Woman, Man, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Protestant, Catholic and I could go on forever with this line of thought. After learning about the Supreme court Justices in grade school and how the court was suppose to work I automatically thought the President would appoint a person who would make decision based on the law, not make a new law to make the results biased.

According to all the news about appointee Judge Sonia Sotomayour my interpretation of the law is not valid. Judge Sotomayor was and is a very biased judge. Maybe she might get a free ticket to the Supreme court similar to the one Timothy Geithner received for his tax indiscretions. Our very, very, very liberal democratic congress approved Mr. Geithner, will they do the same for Judge Sotomayor? Let us pray that this will not happen.
