CNN claims that the Arctic is ice free, and that -30C air in Minnesota came from the Arctic.
The meteorologist who made these claims is incompetent to be discussing science. If the Arctic Ocean was ice-free, the minimum possible average temperature would be the freezing point of seawater. If that air traveled south and mixed with tropical air, it would then have to be warmer than -2C.
The only way that such cold air would be moving south is if the Arctic is covered with ice.
Obama is determined to eradicate the other two branches of government. Constitutional checks and balances don’t apply to the messiah. In the Obama White House, the executive branch determines what is constitutional rather than the courts.
102% of the voters in Philadelphia and Chicago elected a wannabe third-world dictator, and that is what we got.
At least one of the readers doesn’t understand much about guns.
Handguns are potentially useful if you are up against one or two assailants at close range. Most people have little or no chance of hitting a target at more than ten yards with a handgun. Body armor will stop most handgun bullets. Gang members and other criminals use (illegal) handguns because they can conceal them easily.
Rifles are far more powerful and accurate. An AK (2700 fps) or AR (3200 fps) with a large capacity magazine will deter almost any sized group of people. In the rare event that an attacker would be stupid enough to go after someone with a semi-automatic rifle – even a novice can easily hit a target at 50 yards. A moderately experienced shooter can hit a target at 200-400 yards. You can not easily conceal a rifle.
Bolt action rifles are useful for people in offensive positions (hunters and snipers.) They are of limited value as a defensive weapon because they are too slow.
If you are trying to deter a gang from approaching, the best weapons are semi-automatic shotguns and rifles with high-capacity magazines – exactly what Democrats want to take away from you.
Had the first two officers who arrived at Columbine been armed with rifles, they could have ended the massacre much sooner. Many police departments are starting to give rifles to patrol officers. One rifle at the camp in in Norway could have saved dozens of children’s lives. One rifle in the principal’s office at Sandy Hook could have saved dozens of children’s lives.
Rifles kill fewer people in the US than hammers, clubs or fists. Americans are 100X more likely to die in a car accident, than be killed by a rifle.
Colorado Crime Rates 1960 – 2011
We have a very safe state, largely due to a well armed populace. Scumbags on both coasts want to take our safety and security away from us.
According to FBI statistics, essentially all of the violent crime in Colorado occurs in Democratic regions – and almost none occurs in well-armed Republican cities and towns.
Centennial, Colorado is one of the larger Denver suburbs and is heavily Republican. They have a violent crime and murder rate of 0.00 per 1,000. Denver and Aurora are heavily Democratic and have high violent crime and murder rates.
Even more interesting are rural regions. Pueblo and Alamosa have very high murder rates and are very heavily Democratic. By contrast, Republican regions of rural Colorado have essentially no violent crime.
Bottom line is that many Democrats have no self-control, and they think that stealing from Republicans will help them.
There were about 65 deaths last year in Colorado caused by drivers under the influence of Marijuana. This is considerably more than the number killed by rifles.
13 percent of deadly crashes in Colorado involved pot.
