Word is that Assad is moving chemical weapons in Syria and
preparing to use them. President Obama
issued a very strong warning to Assad yesterday that the United States will not
tolerate the use of chemical weapons in Syria and that we will react if it
happens.
COMMENTS:
Maybe we’ll send in the same troops we sent to save the U.S.
Ambassador at Benghazi.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. There’s more and more talk about going ahead with going over
the fiscal cliff. What do you
think? (Moreland ~ Salem, OR)
A. Neither side has the guts
to go over the fiscal cliff. All this
talk is a bunch of hot air and I’m so sick and tired of hearing about it. Can’t we talk about Fast & Furious or
Benghazi instead?
Q. There’s a move on to deny veterans who are deemed too
mentally incompetent to handle their own financial affairs the right to own or carry
a gun. What is your opinion? (Calvin ~ Taos, NM)
A. I tend to agree with that. Mind you, I am a life member of the NRA and
very protective of gun rights. But, I
also recognize that there are some people who should not own or carry a gun,
including ex-felons, psychopaths, people who don’t know right from wrong, and
people who lack the fundamental judgment as to when the use of a gun is
appropriate. Virtually every gun crime
or tragedy involves one of the above.
Q. A sportscaster, Bob Costas, went on a “let’s get rid of
guns” rant during Sunday Night Football.
Is this a sign of things to come?
(Kerry ~ Hobbs, NM)
A. Undoubtedly. But,
he is wrong in saying that if the perpetrator had not had a gun, the crime
would not have occurred. Murders and
mayhem have been going on ever since the creation of mankind, long before guns were invented. In fact, the higher the number of people
possessing guns in a community, the lower the violent crime rate. That’s an FBI statistic, by the way.
