1,100 Green Berets set record straight on guns Text smaller Text bigger Politicians, pundits and private citizens have been sounding off on Barack Obama’s new push for gun bans, but what do the professionals whose job it is to use guns in the protection of their nation, their fellow countrymen and themselves say? Watch out. An open letter has been posted on the Professional Soldiers blog that has been signed as of this writing by more than 1,100 current and former U.S. The soldiers say first it’s important to define the issue and set the record straight. “The terms ‘assault weapon’ and ‘assault rifle’ are often confused,” they say. The Green Berets, who use the weapons, point out the M4A1 carbine is a U.S. military service rifle – it is an assault rifle.” Keep your gun rights: Sign new petition “The AR-15 is not an assault rifle. Likewise, they say, a ban on “high-capacity” magazines would be irrelevant, pointing to the shooting by Eric Harris at Columbine High School as proof. “We cite the experience in Great Britain,” they write.

I play kick ass rock n roll! David M. Kennedy’s Don’t Shoot Reviewed: If the Police Don’t Protect Citizens From Criminals, Who Should? Photograph by Sibylle von Ulmenstein. Last year, residents in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood asked for my advice about a local gang problem. Their leader and block club president, Marla McCoy—a teacher’s aide, homeowner, and mother of three—noticed that drug dealing in the local park was starting up after a yearlong hiatus. Her opponent, an18-year-old upstart named Filly, had orchestrated a successful and violent coup d’etat. He controlled a $2,000 per week criminal enterprise based in the park. When Marla called to ask, “When do I call the police?” For most Americans, a dangerous gang boss would produce an instantaneous 911 call rather than a series of reflective dialogues and creative regulatory schemes. I had known Marla’s mother, the late Shauna McCoy, herself a powerful neighborhood leader. Marla might have done better to call David Kennedy, the author of a memoir about fighting crime and violence in America’s inner cities. For many reasons, this outreach wasn’t easy.

The 5 Creepiest Unsolved Crimes Nobody Can Explain Dear Internet: We have to admit something -- we've been getting kinda cocky, recently. Whether we're explaining the phenomenon of alien abduction, debunking every textbook ever or doing some third thing, we've been spending a lot of time acting like we have all the answers. And it's started to go to our heads. But that all changes now. If unsolved mysteries are good enough for Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, then by golly, they're good enough for us. There are unsolved crimes, and then there are the kind of creepy, "What the hell could possibly be going on here" capers that keep the cops, and anyone who hears about them, up at night. Here are the real cases that almost fall into X-Files territory: The victim was found dead at 6:30 am, December 1, 1948, under a street lamp at Somerton Beach in Australia. But more on that in a moment. Would have saved them a ton of time, and been exactly as helpful. Every breakthrough seemed to increase the mystery. It Gets Weirder: This many.
