Actually they declined to hear the case but you go ahead and believe what you want.

The story in California continues to evolve. The further they dig the more they uncover on possibly more people being involved. Saw another story were several middle eastern men were caught trying to cross the southern border. Homeland Security is now involved in that case (Not Related to California Case). I hope the FBI finds everyone involved in this attack.

"I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a fanatic walks into the store and pulls out a weapon, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may get shot before I pull that trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my wife's life. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun, If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in this world and if evil has a gun, I want one too..."
Saw that in my FB timeline and re-posted it as well. Could not agree more with that sentiment!!

But if we go back into the area plan to be there for a long, long, long, time and we will spend Billions and many lives will be lost. And we should only go if we are committed to two things, Destroy ISIS Totally and plan to battle the 7th Century Ideology that exists there. To win a war you need two things, the commitment of the American people and the will of the local people in the country to help you destroy the enemy. If you want to see when this all started see if you can rent a movie called "Charlie Wilson's War" it will give you the perspective on what and why we are were we are today.
All good thoughts Steve, to be sure. In addition to the movie you mention (and actually, the book!), I would also suggest taking a rainy weekend to watch "Lawrence of Arabia" for an even more historical perspective on developments in that region. And for a short, but informative, read that might add some value to the narrative, tty Amazon for a strategy paper published by the National Strategy Information Center titled "Oil, Politics & Sea Power in the Indian Ocean Vortex.". Sounds heavy but it brings a lot to the discussion of goings on in the region.
Ciao!!

I'm still liking the idea of those opposed to the Second Amendment posting "No Gun Zone" on their residences, in order to protect themselves - and their neighbors - in the event of a terrorist strike or home invasion...

Default Syed's Slush Fund

In the news this morning, investigators have discovered large money transfers into Syed's bank account long before the terrorist attack, and two transfers to the account of his mother. Details of this will emerge as the probe continues. If this is a sleeper cell, the FBI will figure it out, unless some higher authority shuts them down. In the meantime, the family "knew nothing of their son's anti-American activity"; they are, after all, peaceful muslims.

BTW, Their accomplice is spilling his guts to authorities as we speak. Evidently, the pipe bombs found were designed to kill first responders. Stay tuned...

This maybe a true statement but I'm unsure of your point. I believe that those who die from alcohol related causes are self inflicted how does that compare to those who die from gun violence?

Just trying to understand the logic....
