Redistribution of Wealth fails in TEXAS!
by Drew Karedes / KHOU 11 News
khou.com Posted on January 11, 2013 at 9:32 PM Updated Friday, Jan 11 at 9:46 PM HOUSTON -- A couple of strangers came to the rescue when a man was robbed at gunpoint. Now, the victim wants to say thank you to the Good Samaritans. Police believe the criminal who was canvassing a neighborhood in the 2500 block of Wichita near Hermann Park had no idea what he was in for when he picked his target. The victim in this case had just walked back to his car from a bar around the corner. Kevin Dorsey says he hadn’t even closed his car door Thursday night when a man wearing all black and a ski mask put a gun to his chest. The man took Dorsey’s wallet, cell phone and car keys. After he was robbed, Dorsey began running down the street and says two men in a Mercedes asked him what had happened. Dorsey told them and they not only caught up with the suspect, but they started shooting at him. The suspect fired back. In the end, the two witnesses turned vigilantes won and took down the bad guy. “I don’t believe in guns,” said Dorsey. “I don’t own a gun. I’m totally at the mercy of my saviors. They obviously sent two angels to help me. These people protected me when I couldn’t protect myself.” After the robber had been shot, police say he jumped over a fence and was attacked by a German Shepherd. That attack prevented him from getting away. The suspect, identified as Christopher Hutchins, is being treated at Ben Taub Hospital. He’s expected to recover |

Driving down the road shooting out of a vehicle is extremely reckless. But, it's always good to hear stories where the good guy gets to shoot the bad guy.

Now you're talkin' common sense!
from The daily Caller 1-14-13
Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order. Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.” “I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement. At his press conference Monday, Obama floated the possibility of using executive action to enact policies aimed at reducing gun violence. The freshman congressman, who served one term in Congress in the mid-1990s, further labeled the possibility “an existential threat to this nation” because, he said, the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow the people to protect themselves from tyranny. “Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.” He concluded by claiming that an executive order would be not just “not just an attack on the Constitution,” but also an “attack on Americans.” “If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,” he said.

Finally, someone with the balls to stand up and take action against the idiots in power... This guy may very well be a good candidate for our next president... Maybe real soon if Obumer gets impeached. Congress is packed with people afraid to make a stand on anything, If there asked a question by the media, all they do is mumble and sidestep the question without giving any direct answers..It's nice to finally see someone with a truthful indication of there intent.WW

GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE?
Or is it Government By an Elite Ruling Class?
notice the distinction made in the 2d paragraph-not just law enforcement, but gubbmint officials and OTHERS, including politicians? *********************************************** The BlogFeinstein Gun Control Bill to Exempt Government Officials 8:06 AM, Jan 25, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER Not everyone will have to abide by Senator Dianne Feinstein's gun control bill. If the proposed legislation becomes law, government officials(local, state and federal?), and others will be exempt. "Mrs. Feinstein's measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel," the Washington Times reports. The Huffington Post confirms these exemptions, and adds that guns owned prior to the legislation becoming law will be permissible, too. "[T]he bill includes a number of exemptions: It exempts more than 2,200 hunting and sporting weapons; any gun manually operated by a bolt, pump, lever or slide action; any weapons used by government officials and law enforcement; and any weapons legally owned as of the date of the bill's enactment." The bill's measures include stopping "the sale, manufacture and importation of 158 specifically named military-style firearms and ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. It would also ban an additional group of assault weapons that accept detachable ammunition magazines and have at least one military characteristic," according to the Huffington Post. The left-leaning website adds: "Other new provisions include requiring background checks on all future transfers of assault weapons covered under the bill and eliminating the 10-year sunset that allowed the original ban to expire." |
