"It's crushing, it's absolutely painful," Lori Hass said. "There's been 31 school shootings since April 16, '07 and frankly, I don't think the majority of the general public knows that."

Lori says 32 people dressed in black and wearing ribbons will lie down for three minutes - which is the average time she says it takes somebody to buy a gun in America. not in virginia

I think they figured out how long they could get a stupid hippie to lay on the ground looking like a moron, averaged it out to 3 minutes and then made up a statistic about gun purchases to match their wacked-out reality.

OK, this is proof that PEG is out to screw with us.

A while back there was a suggestion to refer to events like what PEG is staging as "Red Shoe" rallies, referring to the blood of victims that these folks dance in.

The Shad Planking is always scheduled for the 3rd Wednesday in April, and most of the politicians who are planning on running for office next year usually attend that event. Last year the politico attendance was down due to the Va Tech incident, and now it looks like there will be a conflict in attendance between the two events again.

Politicians know they can get better press coverage weeping over dead bodies than they can going off in the woods to drink beer and tell bad stories about each other.

It is a shame that some of us will have to choose between the two events. I feel "stuck" as I have alreadypromised to be at the VCDL booth at theShad Planking for the morning shift. It's not the cost of the ticket that bothers me (although it is equal to a box of ammo). It's that many of the politicians I was hoping to talk to/with will be at the Bell Tower instead, and may not make the trip out in the afternoon.

Would someone who is going to the Red Shoe Rally at the Bell Tower please loom for me. I'm sorry that I will not be there to do so in person.

stay safe.

I can't walk into the gun store, say hi and start filling out the NCIC form in 3 minutes. If I walked into an FFL I know with cash in hand and they had the gun ready to hand to me and handed me the form as I walked in the door, there is no way the form is getting filled out, called in, verfied, and then I'm paying and checking out in 3 minutes. I don't know what body part she pulled that out of but there is absolutely no way possible that is true.

There is no way that a sale is going down in 3 minutes unless it is a 2nd or 3rd meeting between private parties and the firearm was thoroughly checked out in prior meetings (in which case the total buying process was much longer than 3 minutes) or if the sale is going down between 2 Crips on a street corner in which case I would believe 3 minutes.

Cripes the last gun I bought took me 2 weeks to get home! But even if MD had the instant check and none of this waiting period/fax to state police crap, it still takes 20 minutes just to do the paperwork! LOL- this after waiting for the guy ahead of me to finish his transaction. I thinkI spent 40 mins in there and this was a private sale/transfer of a handgun, not a dealer sale, and the price and terms were all agreed upon in advance. It didn't take much time to hand the private seller the cash, but both of us had to give ID's and info, and me having to fill out the forms. It took 2 weeks because someone screwed up the fax process with the St Police and this wasn't discovered till 7 days later, so it had to be resubmitted.

Standard long guns in MD, they do the instant check for, but it still takes a bit of time to do paperwork and for the dealer to make the call, be put on hold, then get the verification. So this would be akin to VA gun buying, right?



And yes I like the idea of a counter protest, but lets put our people on the ground too and have banners saying " when seconds count, police are minutes away" and "police took over 9 mins to get inside, Cho killed 30 in just under that".
