Yes of course, the people that commit the least amount of crime per capita are the reason for the militarization of police.

So the proliferation of firearms is causing more violence, as is cited in the increase in police kills in Massachusetts, then the police should be disarming, not arming up.

“- They say that billionaire George Soros and his Open Society is bankrolling anti-law enforcement in the USA -”
Strategically that would be just the sort of thing that could be used to discredit Soros. Too bad Repubs are too stupid to use it.

You left out the rest of the quote. Here it is, in full: Where did all the Indians come from? They look friendly enough. Actually, Six, that was Master Gunner's post that I had bumped. :^)
I have to wonder ... if there were no survivors, how does anyone know what Custer's last words were?

He was able to text those words before the signal died.

Didn’t someone make a movie once in which only the police and military had guns?

According to the History Channel write-up for the DVD: “...a soldier named August Finkle was the lone survivor of “Custer's Last Stand,” a battle that is practically synonymous with “no survivors.” Forensics on the man's skeleton and his two gunshot wounds definitely show that the story he reluctantly told the world nearly 50 years after the battle was true. He alone survived, and his tale of what actually went on in the battle should revise our interpretation of the events of the day. The special reveals the amazing story of seven others who very nearly survived—who rode for miles away from the carnage only to succumb to their own fear and turn their weapons on themselves.”
I saw the History Channel special and they did make the case for a sole survivor. The other survivor was a horse, “Comanche”.

Actually, Lincoln didn’t SAY that, as in orally, but he did post it on his website while he was staying at a Holiday Inn.

Thanks for the pics.
Yea, they are just trying to keep up.
Does this mean I get one? or two or three?

Fascinating!!! Thanks for the post.
Ever read Thomas Berger's "Little Big Man"? Great book, better than the movie which was pretty good for a movie, and ... the main character was the only survivor of Little Big Horn!
