Former North Carolina State Senator, RC Soles, a gun control advocate, shot one of his clients at his house a few years back. Soles claimed that 22-year-old Kyle Blackburn had attempted to rob him. Blackburn, however said he was at his lawyer’s house to talk to him. Apparently, the local grand jury indicted Soles last year and the trial lasted minutes;

…he wrote a $1,150 check on his law firm account to pay a $1,000 fine and costs of court. He gave it to a deputy criminal court clerk behind a door that had to be closed to keep the swarming group of media from watching over his shoulder.

The 75-year-old Soles was not put on probation, and there was no suspended jail or prison time attached in the arrangement agreed upon by the state attorney general’s staff and defense attorneys.

Judge Jack Hooks Jr. attached a suspended 60-day jail term to the sentence, but this was questioned as Bailiff Lt. Harold Ivey began announcing the court session was in recess. The maximum term for the misdemeanor was 150 days.

Funny, but in all of the articles about him, it doesn’t mention his political affiliations.

But, anyway, it seems Soles is back to assaulting his clients, but having learned his lesson about firearms, he’s biting them.

ROS sends us a ink to a Huffington Post article about Joe Biden leading this Administration on gun control;

Aides to the vice president were present at a 90-minute meeting that the Department of Justice hosted with gun control advocates on Tuesday, administration officials said. And while those officials stressed Biden’s involvement in the gun policy discussion was still very much in its beginning stages — “at this point, we are just gathering ideas from people,” said an administration official, “and [the Vice President’s staff is] involved in that” — those in attendance were pleased to see Biden emissaries at the table, interpreting it as a sign of seriousness on the administration’s behalf.

What ideas could the gun control people possibly have? They just fall back on confiscation…and Joe Biden’s staff meeting with control nuts is absolutely frightening. Biden has the intellectual depth of a fruitfly and as the article points out, it was Biden’s staff who wrote the draconian 1994 gun bill (which, by the way, did nothing to stop gun crimes);

The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 was written, in large part, by then-senator Biden. It included major curbs on assault weapons, not only barring the manufacturing of 19 different brands of firearms, but also outlawing the possession of newly manufactured high-capacity magazines.

So, I guess the Justice Department has joined forces with the Biden anti-gun Fascists to find a way to ease us into the confiscation boiling pot.

Yesterday, the President had an opinion piece in the Arizona Daily Star and he says the things that I never thought he believed about gun control for example;

Now, like the majority of Americans, I believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. And the courts have settled that as the law of the land. In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that’s handed from generation to generation. Hunting and shooting are part of our national heritage. And, in fact, my administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners – it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and wildlife refuges.

The fact is, almost all gun owners in America are highly responsible. They’re our friends and neighbors. They buy their guns legally and use them safely, whether for hunting or target shooting, collection or protection. And that’s something that gun-safety advocates need to accept. Likewise, advocates for gun owners should accept the awful reality that gun violence affects Americans everywhere, whether on the streets of Chicago or at a supermarket in Tucson.

I know that every time we try to talk about guns, it can reinforce stark divides. People shout at one another, which makes it impossible to listen. We mire ourselves in stalemate, which makes it impossible to get to where we need to go as a country.

He advocates that legal gun owners should be able to purchase guns, while unqualified people should not – something I advocate as well. He goes on that States need to provide more complete and accurate information for the national database and enforcing the laws that are already on the books. I can’t disagree – it’s what we’ve all been saying all along.

But the he goes on to say that that’s a good place to start the conversation. As far as I’m concerned that’s good place to stop the conversation. The ponderous restrictions on gun owners is enough already. When everyone does their part in a timely manner, people like Loughner won’t be able to get guns and all of our problems will be solved.

But the president continues;

Most gun-control advocates know that most gun owners are responsible citizens. Most gun owners know that the word “commonsense” isn’t a code word for “confiscation.” And none of us should be willing to remain passive in the face of violence or resigned to watching helplessly as another rampage unfolds on television.

Yeah, most gun control advocates don’t give a tiny rat’s ass who is responsible and who is not. Does England or Australia differentiate between responsible and irresponsible citizens when it comes to gun ownership? Not a whit.

We gun owners already know that gun control is going to be a slow process, and pretty words about what we can all agree upon can’t hide the facts on their intentions.

I understand that the gun issue is tough. It’s tough because people make idiot arguments which support their side when there’s no real convincing evidence. Take this Tyler Figg from Purdue, for example. He claims to be a clinger and certified gun nut, but he doesn’t want guns on his campus. Here’s his reasons for banning guns from his campus;

A college campus is just no place for guns. There is too much stress, alcohol, hormonal imbalance and general insanity. There’s a saying that “guns don’t kill people; people kill people,” and that’s absolutely true. Do you know what there are a lot of around campus? People. People who could kill other people a lot easier if they have guns.

Two shootings have occurred while I’ve been at Purdue. The first one happened when some guys jokingly pointed a loaded gun at a friend, and it went off accidentally. Another one happened when an argument outside a night club turned violent. Alcohol was involved both times. Would adding more guns into the mix have made these events turn out better?

It sounds to me that he’s making an argument to ban alcohol and not guns. “Too much stress, alcohol, hormonal imbalance and general insanity”. Or maybe we should ban college students from campuses. I suppose there’s no stress or hormonal imbalance off campus? Out here in the real world where I carry my handgun concealed.

He also blames the fact that everyone wants to be a hero. Really? Then why aren’t college students lined up outside of the Marine Corps recruiting office? They don’t want to be a hero quite that much? I think young Tyler is much too immature to have a say in the discussion. His youth belies his inexperience and his inability to admit that people other than him are more responsibile when it comes to firearms.
