The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden... Is Screwed

For the first time, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden tells his story — speaking not just about the raid and the three shots that changed history, but about the personal aftermath for himself and his family. And the startling failure of the United States government to help its most experienced and skilled warriors carry on with their lives.

"Why Does The Federal Government Have A Patent For Medical Marijuana?"

Maybe their holding it for the big drug companies to put the small producers out of business.

Jumping Jesus, DB. Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure in December 2001. Please don't encourage or endorse lies like these. It makes me think YOU are as crooked and dishonest as the Obama bunch. The purpose of getting B.O. elected was that the big money knew he could be trusted to inflict damage republicans could never get away with. Freemasonry loyal to England has picked our last 4 or 5 presidents, at least. But only because America slept.

[Mr. Mojo]

If there were any guns left to buy the number would probably be at least ten million higher. Every gun dealer I've spoken to says he turns away more customers than he sells to due to lack of stock. Plus, that's the number of background checks, not guns. Not everyone needs a background check and you can buy multiple guns with one background check, which a lot of people have been doing lately.

Also, the People's Republic of Kalifornia DOJ has stopped or greatly slowed down sending Handgun Safety Certificates to dealers, apparently part of the effort to deny citizens their Constitutional rights.
