Six Flags apologizes to Marine with pro-gun shirt
Social media today can bring great change:
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A Marine who wasn’t allowed into a New Jersey amusement park because he was wearing a shirt with a red, white and blue rifle pictured on it has been given an apology.
NJ.com reports (http://bit.ly/1v9YY2J) Mario Alejandro received a phone call from Six Flags Great Adventure President John Fitzgerald on Saturday apologizing and he accepted. A spokeswoman for the park says it didn’t realize Alejandro’s shirt was related to a military charity.

Each handgun was worth a $25 gift card and every shotgun or rifle a $50 gift card. The guns were taken in with no questions asked. Each person that dropped off a gun was granted amnesty and simply thanked for helping get one more firearm off the street.
“We don’t want to have any excuses for people not to get a gun off the streets we want people to get that gun out of a home or out of a situation where it could be used in the wrong way,” said Perry.
“We had two pistols that were my fathers and they’ve been in drawer forever and we...
The militarization of police is a good thing
Everyone from Rand Paul to the Tea Party has been complaining about the militarization of police, specially in Ferguson, Indiana.
Barbarians are at the gates, and they are worried about the police. Consider this comment I saw on Facebook:
Dave R: As a former military member with a law enforcement focus, I utterly detest the very apparent militarization, increasingly belligerent behavior, unfettered misconduct, and disturbing tone law enforcement agencies all across America are setting with the public.

Gun rights for the legally blind?
I realize that legally blind doesn’t always mean “can’t see anything.” Some blind people are able to drive a car, some can see at the movies but have to sit in the front row, and if someone is beating you up, maybe you can “see” where the hits are coming from. But would the blind be better with a knife since the range is closer? My friend Mississippi Rebel offers his perspective.
The NRA quietly deleted a video discussing gun rights for the blind from its website after facing
