Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

I would donate to giving her a lifetime membership in the NRA.
Good gun control = avoiding muzzle rise while on target.
With his own gun; fired endlessly; [surviving] militants now being sought…using their blood trails as clues.
Kashmir ACLU equivalent to file suit against the brutal murderer, as the victims suffered needlessly, had the perpetrator merely acquiesced to the deceased’s romantic intentions.
I vote for offering the entire family of Rukhsana Kauser citizenship and bringing them to this country first class. We need more of this kind of immigrant.
I wonder how long it will be before either his family or his fellow terrorists kill this girl.
My own, private definitions: insurgents battle the official forces of the duly constituted government. Terrorists kill civilians. These males (I wrote “men” and then erased it) acted against civilians. They are terrorists.
That’s my kind of gun control.
BOOM – now what part of NO don’t you understand? Well done, Lassie.
I hope the girl and her family are now in protective custody.
Interesting 1950′s “no bad thoughts” journalism:
If someone wanted to “marry” my daughter against her will, they too can expect to have “ballistically applied cranial ventilation” headed their way.
The only better version I can think of would have been to use his gun to “convince” him to become a “suicide” bomber, re the rectum version from a few weeks ago.
Insert C-4 and tell him to run for it.
Reminds me to get daughter #3 out to the range. She’s getting the manual arms down pretty well with semi-auto and bolt .22 rifles, as well as semi-auto and revolver .22′s, and .38SP.
Now she’s asking to get familiarized with her older brother’s AR15 while he’s away. Don’t throw me in that Br’ar patch!
Memories of her and our range trip with the “Heller Day Commemorative” purchase last year. http://blackeagle603.blogspot.com/2008/08/daddy-date-and-ah-hah-moment.html
“One of the militants wanted to marry Ms Kauser against her will, police said.”
Any word on whether he offered her a drink, a hot-tub, some drugs, and a part in an major motion picture? Oh, wait, she’s five years too old for that.
I guess if the militants had more artistic integrity and pledged not come to LA for their Oscars they’d be more sympathetic?
Maybe just a better agent?
Are we sure this girl isn’t from Texas?
Maybe. But this well armed young lass definitely is (check out the license plate).
Girls just wanna have fun.
Wow, and I’m still working on the pellet gun routine with my 14 year old.
