VA Gov. Now Allowing 200,000 Felons to Vote
In a move that is being widely criticized, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (dem) signed an executive order allowing former felons to vote.

Allowing the 'Mentally Incompetent' to Vote
Supporters of laws limiting voting rights say they protect from fraud, but human rights advocates believe they're outdated and stigmatizing.

Most clubs already have an off duty cop on the payroll. They aren't cheap. Now you want 4 cops per bar, all the time? That's going to put a lot of bars out of business.

JUST IN: Orlando Terrorist Made 2 Trips to Saudi Arabia

JUST IN: Orlando Terrorist Made 2 Trips to Saudi Arabia | Fox News Insider

'His Anger Was Constant': Orlando Gunman's Ex-Coworker Talks to 'Kelly File'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The terrorist who murdered 49 people Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando made two trips to Saudi Arabia.

A U.S. intelligence official confirmed to Fox News this morning that Omar Mateen, 29, made the trips in 2011 and 2012.

Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge said this is a "significant" piece of the puzzle.

Herridge said authorities are trying to learn whether there were direct ties from Mateen to a foreign terror organization.

Mateen is said to have traveled to Saudi Arabia for the umrah, a non-mandatory visit to Mecca.

She added that agents are following dozens of leads and are not ruling out the possibility of additional suspects.

Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS in a 911 call before the attack and ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terror attack.

You are going to put 3-4 armed officers at every metal detector entry point? Not likely.

Even so, I absolutely guarantee that in an environment like that, I (and just about anybody else with even a small amount of training) could take out that many people before they even knew what the hell was happening. I'll go out on a limb in saying that the 4 people checking bags at a bar aren't the best of the best and certainly aren't paying attention at the level that they would need to be doing to have a chance of stopping it.

"I don't think you will be able to protect yourself..."

I would be able to protect myself IF I WAS ALLOWED TO DO SO. What you are proposing is taking away any chance I may have had of actually doing that. Putting up a bunch of metal detectors does nothing for my protection.

Based on this and several of you previous Hillhog fantasies, I'm gonna suggest that you get a new welder's and motorcycle helmet. Current ones are obviously too tight!

If it wasn't for you making me laugh, I might be crying!

The cost will be passed down to the patrons via cover charges etc. It will be the only solution.

That's what they are going to do though.... Establishments will put up detectors, higher a few more off duty officers.

I'm not proposing it, I'm just stating that I think that's what is going to happen.

So what do you do? I can't protect myself, I have to trust the system.

An active shooter might take our 3 or 4 officers? Anything is possible. Maybe I have too much faith in LEO.

Unfortunately it's the path we are all headed. Where can we go as a society from here.

This nation (Rep. vs Dem.) is playing tug of war with a bungy cord.

Building cages to keep the animals out sooner or later makes you the prisoner. Defense does not work. never has and never will.

In order to reduce mas shooting we have to revert to the involuntary commitment laws we had Prior to them being changed in the 1970's.

In order to reduce Terrorist attacks we have to go after thier families, friends, recruiters, financiers, spiritual advisors and pretty much anyone who ever knew them. If you make their actions so painful to everyone else in thier society then they either all die or they 'Reform". either way we are out of the cage.

I don't wanna get in a drawn out pissing match with you VITE you're a solid dude. But I can't get behind rounding up every Muzzie in the country and booting them out. It's unconstitutional IMHO.


I can. Don't care who they are, or their status or contribution to society. I can't pick the fire ants that will bite me from the ones that won't. I assume they all will and these ants have got to go. They can boo hoo, you can boo hoo, Hillary can boo hoo. I DGAS. Get them out or wipe them out. Choose A or B and be done.

Don't care. It has been ignored for 8 years. What's a few more months?

Why defend a Constitutional right the puts at risk, the very country the Constitution is meant to protect? That makes ZERO sense.

You seem to want to stay in the center, and appease both sides. Open your eyes WIDE !!!. In this specific... it's one party that is enabling these Muslim extremists.



Seriously; are you fearful of losing your circle of friends if you dare speak out on this? I hope not; I think I know you better than this.

Why?

What is preventing you from protecting yourself? Why do you see yourself as someone who needs protecting by "the system"?

I have to wonder if any in there tried to put up a fight. As I said in another place, During an incident like that, the greatest sin I could leave this earth with is getting shot in the back while running away.

Could happen while moving to a better vantage point for a better shot.

I wondered the same. I wondered, if death was a given, would I charge him? I'm thinking so. Dead is dead, but I'd like to know I tried.
