Don't forget about probate.
Ah, yes...death is a very lucrative business for the government (and, to be fair, some attorneys).

Yes, I do believe in open carry. An openly armed man is clear in his intentions. Concealed carriers are sneaks and skulkers and elitist, boot licking, political contribution making, running dog lackies of The Man. <wink> (thx grumpycoconut - OpenCarry.org)

Although the media did not immediately blame conservatives or the Tea Party in this instance, here is a list of recent events where such groups were initially connected, only to find out that this was entirely false. First impressions are all important, no?

Human Rights Campaign (HRC) confirms that they still regard Family Research Council (FRC) a "hate group", a moniker not given to any Islamic religious group (although they share the same political position on certain issues).

FRC is a Christian organization, and the young man is (supposedly) an LGBT activist.
Having witnessed the endless feeding frenzy of the Democrat Press Corps blaming any available Conservatives for any such atrocities, I just assumed this was just a wandering Tea Party type who, armed secretly by some right winger, attacked the wrong building...

Sure it matters. If he is a Liberal, my people can use that fact in a political manner. But, if he is a white Hispanic, then it's a zero sum game.

I know I'm not supposed to, but come on - how can you not giggle when you see that name? It's like FBI agents get to create their own aliases, and this guy got in when he was 12.

Now back to your regularly-scheduled political mutterings...
What's so funny about jimmy Mcjunkin.... :wink:

The media whiffs again....

"Neither NBC Nightly News nor CBS Evening News produced a full story on the FRC shooting, instead committing only 17 and 20 seconds respectively for anchor briefs that omitted the shooter's motive," Media Research Center reported.

Corkins was charged with transporting firearms and ammunition across state lines and assault with the intent to kill while armed. The transportation charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years; the assault charge, 30 years.
Something seems missing from this story. Is this not a premeditated act? Hearing a lot of crickets when it comes to the "how did THIS guy get a gun?" from the libs.

Hearing a lot of "back off the SPLC"
While blaming Corkins for the shooting, Perkins also faulted the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based civil rights organization that tracks and litigates against hate groups. The law center labeled the council a hate group in 2010 for what it called the organization's anti-gay stance.

In this shooting case, no outrage from the media
Leftwing gunman doesn't fit narrative


But this time the story line had changed considerably. The shooter was decidedly to the left of the political spectrum. His target, a conservative pro-life group. Keeping these facts in mind and watching how the event was covered - or not covered - in the media over the past few days has taught me two things:

1. The gun control debate is not real - it's merely political posturing.

2. The extreme left is just as capable of violence as the extreme right.

The Family Research Council does not meet the Leftist media's criterion to meet "victim status." I do not know much about the Family Research Council; supposedly, they support a traditional view of marriage (man and woman) and are against gay marriage. They lobby and raise money to sustain their efforts, in the marketplace of ideas, and in the various state capitols in which they operate. NONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED IS ILLEGAL.

Other individuals and organizations are free to likewise disavow traditional marriage and support gay marriage. None of their efforts are illegal, either. But when Conservatives and/or Liberals break the law, either in word or in deed, then they must so answer for these transgressions.
