America’s regulations on gun purchases don’t make much sense no matter how you feel about the Second Amendment. By federal law, only people 21 and older can buy a handgun from a licensed dealer, but 18-year-olds can buy shotguns and rifles—including the infamous AR-15…………………
The justices haven’t taken a Second Amendment case in almost a decade, to the benefit of states—like Florida—that want to tighten gun laws.

This is really sobering. Click on the link and find the city you went to high school and look at the names. Click on the name and it will give details of the death.
First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear. Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.
This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.
I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country. The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio’s and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site. Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

On February 25, 1964, Cassius Clay, who later became Muhammad Ali, won the world heavyweight title fight against champion Sonny Liston in Miami Beach, Florida.
Here’s a follow-up about low bonds being set for gun offenders arrested in Chicago and Cook County. Of particular interest are the statistics quoted in the article that show how the bond amounts have dropped significantly while the amount of offenders released back into the community wearing Electronic Monitoring devices has increased dramatically since the adoption of bond “reforms” by the Chief Judge of the Cook County Circuit Court. A lengthy read, but an important one if you want to get a handle on what’s driving gun violence in Chicago.
Hopefully someone is getting the message.
This is common practice in the Illinois courts with regards to orders of protection in domestic violence situations.

So here’s the essence of what went wrong for Manafort and Gates, according to Mueller’s investigation: Manafort allegedly wanted to falsify his company’s income, but he couldn’t figure out how to edit the PDF. He therefore had Gates turn it into a Microsoft Word document for him, which led the two to bounce the documents back-and-forth over email. Manafort’s inability to complete a basic task on his own seems to have effectively “created an incriminating paper.
Luckily, Gates knew a way to convert the PDF to another file type so Paul could edit it. If you’re curious and want to convert a PDF to a Word doc, you can use Adobe Acrobat. Here’s how:
1. Open a file in Acrobat.
2. Click on the Export PDF tool in the right pane.
3. Choose Microsoft Word as your export format, and then choose Word Document.
4. Click Export. If your PDF contains scanned text, Acrobat will run text recognition automatically.
5. Name the Word file and save it in a desired location.trail.”……………………………………..

“The first priority on an active school shooting is to stop the killing. You don’t wait for the SWAT team, you don’t hide behind a car. If you’re armed, whether as a school resource officer or first patrol officer, you go after and engage the shooter.”
If the deputy had military experience then the shooter would have been dead in 30 seconds. No soldier I know…
A student at the Parkland, Fla. high school where 17 people were killed in a mass shooting last week told MSNBC on Saturday that police officers should not be judged for not wanting to face down an attacked armed with an AR-15 when armed with handguns.In an interview on MSNBC, student David Hogg defended Scot Peterson, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School school resource officer and Broward County Sheriff’s deputy accused by Preside…
