Mother of Sean Smith Murdered By Terrorists at Benghazi: “I BELIEVE THAT OBAMA MURDERED MY SON” This is explosive.. think the mainstream media will cover it? From Union Tribune San Diego [emphasis added]: A father and a mother used the word “murder.” A brother said he won’t second-guess decisions made in the heat of battle. The families of three Americans killed in the Sept. 11 U.S. consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya, are offering widely different reactions to recent reports that U.S. personnel issued several requests for help that were turned down. Patricia Smith, the mother of slain State Department employee Sean Patrick Smith, is now blaming President Barack Obama for her son’s death. “I believe that Obama murdered my son,” she said Thursday from the living room of her Clairemont home. “I firmly believe this.” Patricia Smith, who voted for Obama in 2008 at the insistence of her son, said reporting by Fox News is the basis for much of her belief that Obama is ultimately responsible for her son’s death. She said Sean, who went to Mission Bay High School but lived abroad, was a fervent supporter of the president.

You don't want felons or people who've had "danger to themselves or others court orders passed against them" to be able to buy a gun. That cuts out maybe 2% of the population? OK. As far as carrying a gun ANYWHERE....you don't seem to be against that in ANY way, right? Hmm. If a state passes a 'shall issue' concealed carry permit law, then I'm okay with limiting carrying to those with permits. The 'shall issue' is about no arbitrary turn downs ... if a person isn't a felon, has never had a 'danger to self or others' court order, and gets any required training, they should get the permit. In MY state getting a concealed carry permit costs about $50 bucks and two hours of time. OK with me. So, let me change my comment to.....Brumar, you'd like 98% of people to HAVE guns and be able to carry them ANYWHERE... Pretty much. In real life, the percent wouldn't be 98% qualifying. And no way, 98% would choose to either get a permit or carry.

Father Ends Crime Spree by Shooting Armed Robber Outside Burger King Posted by Gateway Guest Blogger on Sunday, April 7, 2013, 6:59 PM Guest Post by Mara Zebest Another example that a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun. Hat tip to GunsSaveLives: NBCMiami report the following: A father who was robbed while eating with his family took out his own gun and shot the suspect, Miami Police said. It happened at about 1 p.m. Friday at the Burger King restaurant at Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 17th Street, police said. The robber walked in, flashed his gun to the family, demanded their valuables, then headed for the door, according to police. The father, fearing for his life, took out his gun and shot the suspect in the leg as he stood outside the restaurant, police said. The suspect, 36-year-old Travis Harris, jumped into a getaway Ford F-150 and took off, police said. Police said they found him and the driver, 38-year-old Ramon Smalls, a few blocks away thanks to a Good Samaritan who followed them and alerted police. The two suspects were taken into custody at a gas station at Northeast 2nd Avenue and 26th Street after they apparently ran out of fuel, police added. The Burger King incident followed an earlier incident in which the duo teamed up to rob a young woman of her iPhone 4S at 2200 NE 4th Ave. at about 10:15 a.m., with Smalls driving the truck as they fled, police said. Her phone was later found inside the truck, police added. Harris was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma to be treated for his gunshot wound, and faces three counts of armed robbery with a firearm, police said. Smalls faces one count of strongarm robbery for the morning incident, and possible pending charges for the afternoon incident, police said. It was not immediately known whether Harris or Smalls have attorneys. The father who fired his gun is not being charged, police said. More here.
