Gun Control Would Prevent This
Jan 2, 2008 General
Here is a story from the Sun UK. I copied the entire piece because there is no link to it. It tells of several shooting and a couple of deaths because of gun violence. If only there were gun laws to prevent this sort of thing…
A MAN was killed and another critically injured in a suspected gangland shooting on New Year’s Eve.
The murder victim, 26, was sitting in a parked car with three men when the killer strode up and fired a hail of bullets at them.
A third man cheated death when a bullet grazed his head and a fourth emerged unscathed.
The terrified pals drove to hospital following the 5.30pm carnage in Crumpsall, Manchester. The 26-year-old died shortly afterwards. His 27-year-old pal was seriously ill in hospital last night with wounds to his back.
The gunman, who fled the quiet suburban road on foot, was still at large last night. Another man aged 42 was blasted in the back in an unrelated shooting at 6.30pm on New Year’s Eve in Trafford, Manchester. Four men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
A 23-year-old reveller also survived being stabbed in the throat in the city’s Rusholme area.
And in Anfield, Liverpool, a man aged 28 was shot in the stomach.
Oh wait, the UK has very strict gun laws. My friends over there told me how they had to turn their guns in (they were reimbursed) so that gun crimes would drop. Looks like the people who break the law did not get the memo or they ignored the law. Imagine that!
Gun control laws do not stop gun crimes because people who would obey the law are not the ones who would use guns to commit crimes in the first place. Too bad people are not bright enough to see this. Politicians know it is true but they also know that an armed citizenry is a free one and they want to be able to impose their will on us so they are trying to get rid of the guns. This is particularly true of Democrats who want to have us work to provide money for them so they can administer every aspect of our lives.
The UK, gun free and even more dangerous.

Mexican Murderer’s Fate Obscured by Bush
Oct 7, 2007 Immigration
An interesting twist has developed in the death penalty fast lane known as Texas. The former Governor of Texas, George Bush, is trying to block the execution of a Mexican who was sentenced to death for raping and brutally murdering two girls. This is the same Bush who had an express lane to the executioner and who presided over a lot of executions. Not that I think there is anything wrong with a fast lane to ole Sparky. I believe that waiting 20 or 25 years to execute a murderer is way too long so I applaud the Texas method.
What I am amazed at is that George Bush would try to halt the execution of a Mexican killer. Can someone tell me what it is the Mexicans have over George Bush. Do they have pictures of him in a brothel, or smoking crack? He constantly looks out for their interests at the expense of Amercian interests. One only needs to remember the Amnesty fiasco he tried to shove down our throats to know where his allegiance is. Now he is trying to stop the execution of a murderer.
First of all, this is a state matter and the federal folks need to back off. Secondly, the US needs to tell Mexico to take an aeronautical intercourse at a revolving pastry. Mexico has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the murderer and 50 other Mexicans on death row. Why is it the Mexican government gets involved with its citizens who come here and murder but wants nothing to do with them otherwise? So long as Mexico can send these leeches up here to suck the lifeblood out of our economy they are happy. As soon as they commit a crime and are sentenced, the Mexicans want to file a lawsuit. It is amazing that the same people who use our laws to their advantage want to ignore our laws when they get punished.
I have a few ideas that will help out. First of all, instead of voting on the condemnation of Rush Limbaugh, the Congress can vote to condemn Mexico. Then, we can answer Mexico’s lawsuit by filing one of our own for all the money that their citizens have syphoned out of our economy by breaking the law. We can sue them for the money plus interest. That should keep them picking fruit for a very long time to pay the bill.
Another thing we can do is take the Mexicans who have been convicted of murder and execute them. If there is a doubt about evidence in any case they can let that go through appeal but for the ones where there is irrefutable evidence, I say line the bastards up and shoot them. It is not cruel and unusual punishment, they will have died of lead poisoning.
I am getting a little tired of the Mexicans and their candy assed government and its attitude that somehow America owes them something. They should be happy we did not wipe them out and take their country after the Alamo. They should also be happy we are not air dropping Mexican ILLEGALS from airplanes back whence they came.
As for the Mexican consulate and the government officials of Mexico, if one of these girls were my daughter and you helped the murderer, I would hunt you down, chain you to my bumper, and drag you until there was not enough left to fill a taco shell.
I am surprised the people of Texas have not told their former governor to mind his own damned business and then executed these murderers.

Texas Girl’s Death 100% Preventable
Sep 28, 2007 Immigration
Melanie Goodwin was found early Tuesday morning, she had been beaten and her body set on fire. Police are looking for a man named Ernesto Reyes, the last person she was seen with before her body was discovered. The written story does not indicate it but Fox TV reported Reyes is an ILLEGAL who has a criminal record. Since he has a criminal record the government was aware of him and since he is an ILLEGAL, this death was 100% preventable.
The police will, no doubt, eventually locate Reyes and if he is found guilty he will probably get the death penalty since Texas is a state with no problem using that form of punishment. If Reyes is the one who did this there is no doubt that he should receive the toughest penalty possible and the death penalty is the way to go. However, if he is in fact ILLEGAL then the federal government is complicit in the death of Goodwin.
The government allows ILLEGALS in here and does little to stop the tide of people who cross our borders in violation of the law, a law that our elected officials took an oath to uphold. Unfortunately, many of those politicians, from both parties, work against efforts to enforce the law and pander to the law breakers.
American citizens expect their government to protect them. The willful disregard for the law by those elected to uphold it makes our country less safe and leaves us open to these kinds of horrific crimes. Ms. Goodwin’s family should sue the government for the wrongful death of this young lady.
If this were my daughter or wife Reyes might just get 7.62mm punishment.
UPDATE: The Florida Masochist commented that Reyes is here legally, according to a news report. He has a criminal record but did not meet the requirement to be deported. If that requirement included his crimes or if he had been jailed instead of released, she would be alive. This was still 100% preventable.
