Gun Permits

This story was just too close to home, literally.

Okay so here we have a Marine, who fired .50-caliber machine guns, qualified as a marksman, and fought in the battle for Fallujah and received a combat medal with a "V" for valor.

Back from Iraq he was undergoing Post Tramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) counseling. As some police officers do and firefighters. Well, when this Marine got home he went to apply for a gun purchase permit and got refuse. All because of a block that he checked that asked "whether he was being treated for a mental disorder." (pretty vague if you ask me) So long story short he fought this decision and was awarded his license to buy guns. I guess they saw this guy defending all of our freedoms and thought, "why not let him enjoy one of them."

Good 'ole Colorado

Someone seriously has their priorities a skew. All this girl did was try to be a leader and this is what it gets her.

From Aurora Colorado's 9News:


Marie Morrow, a 17-year-old senior at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora, is serving a 10-day suspension. Her punishment could be extended at an expulsion hearing later this month.

Morrow is a student leader in the Douglas County Young Marines, a group dedicated to teaching leadership and life skills.

Cherry Creek Schools suspended Morrow after other students reported seeing guns inside her SUV, which was parked outside school while she was in class.

The school also called police, who seized the three drill team guns made of wood, plastic and duct tape. Police told Morrow to claim them in time for her after-school drill practice off-campus.

School administrators, however, were less understanding. The guns were declared "authentic representations of genuine weapons," triggering a mandatory expulsion statute in state law.


Someone is just trying to make a point here.
