Corey Thompson, a former military person, was at home when a
wanted felon tried to break into his Medford, Oregon apartment. He
grabbed his AR-15 and warned the intruder that he had a gun and that he was
firing a warning shot to prove it. The felon kept trying to get in, so Thompson
fired the warning shot and the man fled, only to be captured by police in the
parking lot. The police subsequently
ruled that Thompson was not justified in firing the warning shot and seized his
AR-15.

See how easily the innocent become criminalized?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Should we really abolish the I.R.S.? (Jana ~ San Lorenzo, CA)
A. That should be every American’s dream. However, the government does need money to
operate, and so some form of taxation must continue to exist, and they require
some agency to collect it and enforce it.
However, going to a flat tax or a consumption tax or some combination
thereof could literally shrink the I.R.S. to a sliver of its current size and
save the taxpayers another several billions of dollars annually in wages.
Q. What is your opinion of the new national data collection
center in Utah? (Dottie ~ Salinas, CA)
A. If you are afraid of a nuclear bomb dropping on your
city, you really need to be afraid of this. You think the I.R.S. targeting of
segments of society is bad? You think
the silencing of the press and media through the intimidation of investigation
and subpoena is bad? This facility is
going to be operated by the National Security Agency and will store everything about you: birth date and
place, grades in school starting from pre-school, financial history, who you
write your checks to, and what you spend your money on, traffic tickets… In
short, your life in its totality will become an open book over which you have
no control, no ability to examine and no recourse to correct. You will be subject to total government
domination in ways you cannot possibly imagine.
It should strike stark fear deep into the hearts and souls of all men
and women. As absurd as it sounds, one
can easily visualize having your scales at home wired into the data center and
your receipt of a per-pound fine for being overweight on the 1st of
every month. It’s all…. Creeeeepy.
Q. Why wouldn’t a news organization want to participate in
an “off the record” interview with Holder?
That doesn’t make sense to me.
(Harold ~ Anacortes, WA)
A. Supposing you were the reporter and attended and Holder
told you that he targeted Fox News and the Associated Press at the request of
Joe Biden. Now, you couldn’t report on
that, right? So, I think this is a
thinly disguised attempt to muzzle the press on the issue.
