Man accused of pointing gun at another at Little League ballgame
http://www.bendbulletin.com/article/20120429/NEWS0107/204290398/
QUILCENE — A Washington man was arrested Saturday evening at a Little League field after he threatened another man with a gun during an altercation. The suspect, 58, was booked into Jefferson County jail on charges of assault in the first degree, reckless endangerment, and harassment, police said. Witnesses told police that the suspect was using “loud and profane” language when another spectator, a 64-year-old Quilcene man asked him to watch his language in front of the children. The suspect then allegedly walked to his car, leading the witnesses to believe he was leaving. However, he returned with a handgun. <more> More guns = more Second Amendment Solutions. yup

It is simple, this guy was obviously protecting his first amendment rights with his second amendment rights. who does this 64 year old guy think he is telling an armed citizen he can not curse in front of children at a little league baseball game.
The 58 year old was terrified for his life and introduced a handgun into the situation to show the children how to act in this type of situation. |

And his co-author Gertz conceded that the methodology was completely inadequate to measure DGUs.
That was after a panel of seventy-four highly respected criminologists issued a unanimous statement about how the Kleck-Gertz study should never have been published, and it was an embarrassment to the field. |

Couldn't get a job anyplace else? GW Bush could not get in FSU for the same reason University of Texas turned him down, because of his lack of merit. Harvard put his "legacy" ahead of his merit, and gave him a "gentleman's C" for showing up to class once in awhile. Harvard is a good school, but the Ivy League's habit of admitting stupid rich kids without merit makes them kind of overrated.

Over 5.7 million people each year protect their feelings from verbal assaults using a firearm. And 2.2M of those verbal assaults included profanity! Another 1.8M people defended themselves from dirty looks or obscene gestures.
That's why the American Psychiatric Association recommends that all people with frail egos carry around a pistol. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me thanks to my trusty S&W! |

I'm not allowed to drive the wrong way on a one-way street, or to drive over 50 km/h in the city. What am I being punished for??? "Punished". Yes, that pesky 2nd amendment. The one that says everybody must be allowed to wander around in public with guns ... Where do I find that one? |
