Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen andBrunswick counties..

Poor Kyle's life is now ruined, thanks to more senseless gun violence.
His lawsuit should ask for seven figures...what's John Edwards doing lately?
The say, “Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.” Liberal democrat and vice seem to be synonymous.
No, you would still have it right, danielmryan.
Do as I say, not as I do...
Wow. Didn't know that.
Apparently, 911 is not good enough for him. Hmmm, wonder why?
1) In August 2009, Soles shot Kyle Blackburn, who the senator said was trying to break into his home. Soles eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon. A judge ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine plus court costs.
2)18 November 2010: At 9:45 p.m., Tabor City Police received a call about gunshots fired somewhere around the lake near Soles’s home. Dowless said the call did not come from Soles.
At 9:48 p.m., police did received another call from Soles. This time he said he heard glass break in his home. Dowless said when officers arrived, they found rear window broken, a glass table broken and paint on a wall. Dowless said investigators asked Soles if he heard any gunshots, but Soles said, “All I heard was glass breaking.”
Apparently from the press, the old Democrat has a problem with young men appearing on his property asking for money. Gee, I wonder why ‘young men’ are on his property asking for money?
“The State Bureau of Investigation continues to investigate accusations made by a young man who claimed Soles tried to molest him when he was 15. The man, Stacey Scott, has since recanted those claims, and Soles denies them.”
On December 30, 2009, Soles (at the time, the longest-serving legislator in the state) announced he would not seek re-election in 2010. This came after an August, 2009 incident in which he shot a young man and former legal client in the leg who was allegedly trying to kick in Soles’ front door. In another incident, Soles pepper sprayed a young man. Soles’ lawyer, Joseph Cheshire, said the shooting was self-defense. Cheshire and Soles repeatedly have said that Soles has been generous to former clients in hoping to ease them back to a law-abiding life. Soles has denied having sexual relations with any of the young men.[1] Soles was indicted on charges of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury on 7 January, 2010.[2]
Teen linked to Senator RC Soles fears his life is in jeopardy
“For the first time since a house paid for by State Senator RC Soles was set on fire, the North Carolina lawmaker is talking about his controversial relationship with a 17-year-old boy who lived there.”
“Strickland isn’t the only person Senator Soles has supported. He also admits to helping a young man by the name of B.J. Wright who was released from prison Monday morning.”

Ooops. Gets it wrong in the first sentence. For example, deception.
But look at the name of the website! Maybe he does it again!
Throwing his wife's clothes and pictures out, redecorating the house, and making room for the new baby.
As usual, they want two sets of rules, one for the elite and one for the peasants they lord over.
He ought to be prosecuted using the laws he has tried to have made over us.
This must be the second time. He shot an intruder last year also!

While I agree that the argument is somewhat oversimplified, in fairness to the writer, when you deceive somebody, you typically do so by creating the illusion of either reason or force. i.e. If you point a realistic airsoft gun at somebody and tell them to "get on the floor", they do so because of the perception of force that isn't there. When somebody is swindled by a Madoff, they were deceived into a reasonable belief that they were making a sound investment.
In either case, force or reason figure into the equation, even if it is merely a false perception of one or the other. It could also be argued that deception is, in and of itself, a type of force, albeit not a physical one.
With this being said, the issue of gun control has become a National Security issue. The ability of our nation to counter this technology simply does not exist due to the nature of the gun control laws on the books currently.
While our enemies develop rifle systems that can accurately deliver full automatic fire at ranges the M16 and similar weapons could only dream of, the United States Government is more interested in ensuring that the citizens cannot protect themselves against enemies... foriegn or domestic. With laws in place such as the 1968 Gun Control Act, the 1934 National Firearms Act, and the 1986 Hughes Amendment, the ability of the firearms industry to research and develop effective counters to what our enemies have is stiffled to the point where we are now 50 years behind the technology curve.
Big bump to the top. I strongly agree with you.
Here's my proposed legislation to eliminate all federal gun control. I believe that most of it is located in two portions of the federal code, in Title 18 and in Title 26. Both Title 18 and Title 26 guff are derived from the NFA, the FFA, the GCA, and the FOPA. (Freepers: please FReepmail me if I have missed any other sections of the U.S. code related to the private ownership and taxation of firearms. As to the Lautenberg Act, I believe that it is covered here in the Title 18 Section 922 repeal, but I haven't spent a lot of time looking, so help on any other areas of U.S. code affected by Lautenberg would be much appreciated. Also I haven't spent much time on the veteran's disarmament act, but I believe that it is also covered.)
Here's my text for a repeal that I hope covers all of the bases (there's a copy at the bottom of my "profile" page also):
Federal Firearms Freedom Act
1) United States Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44 is hereby repealed in its entirety. 2) United States Code Title 26, Subtitle E, Chapter 53 is hereby repealed in its entirety.
note my tag...hat tip to President Washington...
between schmucky and di-fi, we could build a library of photo ops of what NOT to do while handling weapons...
Good stuff! “Caudill” can be found at munchkinwrangler.wordpress.com and the fertile mind of one Marko Kloos. (Check the archives in early May 2009.)
