Criminals are going to carry guns regardless of the laws, so in turn we should be allowed to carry guns every where. If only one of those students at VA TECH had a consealed weapons permit the death toll could have been a whole lot less. Guns Don't Kill People, People DO!

Police officers are held to a high standard of justice, but there are those offiers who fail to meet the standard of justice. Can anyone give me some examples of officers displaying injustice?

I don't think guns should be banned because then only criminals would have guns. But I think it should be harder to buy a gun. What can we do to make it harder?

Once when my dauther and I were in a drive-thru, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a cop car. When I got to the window, I paid for my order and also for the police officer behind me. As we left, I saw the drive-thru worker pointing us out as we drove away. No words. Just a kind gesture for those who lay their lives down for us.

They have one of the most thankless jobs in America!!

Anytime a person visits a psychiatrist, that psychiatrist could be required to put that patient on a list that would ban gun shops from selling guns to the patient.

I do think that healthy people should be able to buy guns. Otherwise, criminals will be able to buy guns on the black market while good people would be disarmed.

This law went into effect in Georgia approximately a year ago. Sad to say, I rarely see it enforced. I'm an EMT and I drive an ambulance. I can't even begin to say how many times people do NOT yield the right of way to me when I am at code 3 status (emergency). It's so simple...when approached by an emergency vehicle at code 3, you are supposed to move to the RIGHT by one lane to clear a path. What can we do to make people aware that we need them to obey this law? To me, people who do not obey this law are indirectly affecting a patient's care. It's dangerous enough to run an emergency without having to negotiate an obstacle course. I'd like to know the opinions of other EMTs...not just Georgia but all over. What do you think? What can we do?

when I heard the top stairstep make it squeek, for a few seconds I frose up,waiting..waiting for another step. I opened my bedside drawer slowly..and silently I had my firearm in my hand I turned on its lazer and waited for the next step,which came surely. not to scare him, I got up slow then walked for my bedroom door. the lazer poked out first,then the intruder flew down the staircase i had a lock on his head and hestitated to pull the trigger, I instead walked swiftly making a quick check of each room as I went to the staircase. I again caught sights of the right shoulder then out the door he went. he had something in his hand. Was it within my rights to shoot him?

A married Police Inspector has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman he met through the internet.He was known as Plod34 on aol

British Transport Police officer Mick Khan, 40, is said to have met up with the woman at Gatwick Airport while he was on duty. He is then accused of taking her to a police office and attacking her.

Khan, who has children, denies rape. He claims the un-named woman consented to sex.

However, even if Khan is cleared, he is almost certain to be dismissed for romping with her when he should have been working.

Khan, who has been with British Transport Police for 14 years, is in charge of a response team at Victoria rail station in central London and travelled to Gatwick - which is in the area covered by his London South team - on Sunday July 23.

The woman, whom he had met through a dating service, made an official complaint and Khan was arrested on Tuesday when he arrived for work.He

think about it first. i know most people think defending your country is more dignified and honorble but both of them is simply serving your countries interest. there is a downside to defending it too, e.g. you are poorly equiped and its likely you will be given a bad name like terorrists or insurgents. like they are in many countries.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR ANSWER!

As a pro-choice democrat, I am not in favor of partial-birth abortion unless the mother is in some sort of danger. It's my understanding that the new ban that came through today allows for life-threatening emergencies. So, for those of you who oppose the ban please explain to me why. I guess I don't really understand why it should be allowed, even though I am pro-choice.

I am not asking people to try to convince me to be pro-life. I do not believe abortions should be performed willy nilly....I actually oppose abortion but believe that women should have choices about their bodies, so please do not use this as a forum to spout your pro-life propaganda. Really, I just want to know the facts on this.

Miss Mexico's pageant dress raises eyebrows

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Miss Mexico is toning down her Miss Universe pageant dress — not because it's too slinky or low-cut, but because its bullet-studded belt and images of hangings from a 1920s uprising have outraged Mexicans.

I am neither advocating nor speaking out against partial birth abortions. I'm curious about people's opinion on ONE issue with regard to this decision:

If, as pro-life people always say, the SCOTUS is not empowered by the Constitution to make decisions on the legality of abortion, are they upset that the SCOTUS made this decision today? (If you're unfamiliar with the decision... the SCOTUS upheld the partial birth abortion ban that Bush signed into law in 2003.) The main objection to Roe v. Wade, apart from the fact that pro-lifers believe abortion is murder, seems to be that they don't believe the Court was acting within its Constitutional authority when it made that decision. So apart from the fact that this decision today is on the pro-life side... why is it any different?

Please remain civil; I remained civil when asking the question.

I heard that just saying "yes" when you get your license doesn't make you an organ donor. What else must you do? Do they just mean your family makes the decision after you're gone, and you must discuss it with them? Are there legal documents you must sign first?

I don't agree with it, but maybe I'm missing something. If the popular vote is the true majority, then isn't that true representation?
