Hubby's driving through Samson today on the way to the beach today. I told him to check it out. They need BIG D on the case. ;-)

Samson's mayor is on the Today Show right now.

Sorry. My 6'8", 275-pound husband.

Sorry. My 6'8", 275-pound husband.

When you have a husband that can be described like that you don't need to be sorry.

Fifteen killed in school shooting in Germany. Worst killings since 2002 when an idiot killed sixteen folks plus himself.

Official: 16 dead in German school shooting - Europe- msnbc.com


Rash of gun killings in Europe despite tight gun controls. Nice piece by Opinion Journal.

Sixteen people were killed during last week's school shooting in Germany. This follows the killing of 14 regional legislators in Zug, a Swiss canton, last September, and the massacre of eight city council members in a Paris suburb last month. The three worst public shootings in the Western world during the past year all occurred in Europe, whose gun laws are exactly what gun-control advocates want the U.S. to adopt. Indeed, all three occurred in gun-free "safe zones."

Germans who wish to get hold of a hunting rifle must undergo checks that can last a year, while those wanting a gun for sport must be a member of a club and obtain a license from the police. The French must apply for gun permits, which are granted only after an exhaustive background and medical record check and demonstrated need, with permits only valid for three years. Even Switzerland's once famously liberal laws have become tighter. Swiss federal law now limits gun permits to only those who can demonstrate in advance a need for a weapon to protect themselves or others against a precisely specified danger.

The problem with such laws is that they take away guns from law-abiding citizens, while would-be criminals ignore them, leaving potential victims defenseless. The U.S. has shown that making guns more available is actually a better formula for law and order.

Like gun control is worth 1 cent.

I've had a bulls**** restraining order against me for six years which says I am not allowed to handle guns or ammo. Believe me, if I were thinking about doing something like this gun control sure as well wouldn't stop me.

Senseless killings - tragic! This is very sad and I hope none of you are affected, directly related; if so, my heart goes out to you!

I know the area of Samson, Kinston, and Geneva very well. I grew up just a few miles from there. So sad. I have a few friends who still live in the area who are waiting on additional info. Samson is such a tranquil town. The epitome of a true southern town.
