Reminded by the Virginia Tech shootings we all ask ourselves more guns? less guns? Is it a matter of enforcing current laws? Amending old laws? The point of the matter is our 2nd Amendment rights should not be infringed upon. The NRA points us to an article today at wset.com where people believe allowing University staff and students to carry firearms is the way to safer campuses.

Again, I hear the outcries of the anti-gun advocates in the background. But could there have been some lives saved at Virginia Tech if students and Professors were allowed to defend themselves which is clearly spelled out in the U.S. Constitution?

Another thing that comes to mind is 9/11. If pilots and flight attendants were allowed to carry weapons on board could they have prevented the planes from hitting the Twin Towers and the Pentagon? Could lives have been saved using guns? Most agree that it would, as self defense is a God given right.

WOOSTER — A Smithville councilman admitted last month he illegally trapped squirrels and drowned them at the village park.

David E. Zimmerman, 66, of 150 W. Main St., pleaded guilty to seven wildlife violations filed in Wayne County Municipal Court by Ohio Wildlife Officer Eric Ucker. Zimmerman was ordered to pay fines and costs totaling $675.

This is hilarious not because squirrels suffered a horrible death but because this hits main stream media. Though I am NOT against drowning squirrels (tongue in cheek), what on Earth is this guy doing? I can hear the outcries of the animal rights activists in the distance.

So why did Zimmerman wish death upon the cute cuddly animals… (ugly rat with a bushy tail)?

Despite his guilty plea, Zimmerman, in a Friday voice mail message said, “I have serious concern as do other residents in our area about the integrity of the system and its staff, considering the couple squirrels and the damage they inflected on our property and other surrounding properties.

“In our immediate neighborhood, the squirrels have entered the attic areas (of businesses and residences) and chewed off wiring that have made immediate repairs necessary,” he continued.

OK first off I don’t really care. What’s the difference if you trap rats with cheese and snap their brittle necks when they come to take a bite? Nothing. What actually bothered me most was this next piece.

“Once the squirrels were dead, Mr. Zimmerman disposed of them in the stream,” according to Ucker’s report.

He could have at least put them in a trash bag, tied it off, and sent it straight to the local dump. Why in the water supply? Anyway, thought you all would get a chuckle out of this…

For those following the political race leading straight up the steps to the White House know Rudy Giuliani (R) is running for the Presidency of the United States in ‘08. We should learn not only where our candidates stand today on the issues but where they lined up in the past. This video is a 2 minute clip back in 1995 where Giuliani speaks his mind not only on gun control but about the NRA.

I wonder if Giuliani knew then if he would be running for President now. Highly doubt it.

Cheers!
