Rush's fill in says police have BOLO for two hispanic men. When asked could they be M.E.'ers, source said - could be. Then the host went on to tie Gertz's book on 9/11 where a known Al-Qaeda cell was active in Prince George's County in the same town as one of the shootings.
That is a Chinese SKS 7.62 Homeland Defense Rifle.
'Assault Rifle' is a dirty term invented by gun control freaks to descriminate against black, scary looking firearms.
'Homeland Defense Rifle' is far better and more descriptive for black rifles that scare gun control freaks.
I'd support Intern Camps...
For dumbass, racist, redneck, haters...
Like YOU!

Another benefit, however unlikely the event. Keeping them at home will spare them from the regular beatings though.
In exactly what universe is someone with a handgun then on a "level playing field" with a concealed sniper 200 yards away who shoots someone else near you (or yourself)and then quickly flees?
One of the most exasperating things about FR is people making idiotic arguments or inventing facts to support what actually is a good argument..."Bad Soldiers in the Service of a Good King" I think it's called.
Every civilian with 10 miles of these shootings could have been carrying a concealed handgun and it wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference.
I haven't been there in several years, so I'm not sure of all the businesses there these days, but if memory serves, the park is on the northeast corner of the intesection; there was a Roy Rogers (IIRC, those are now all Hardees') on the southeast corner, a small gas station adjacent to a liquor store and a KFC on the southwest corner, and small shops on the northwest corner. (I lived a few blocks up Eastern Ave. from that intersection).
In any event, a quick getaway would work; the Beltway is about three miles north; going through downtown Silver Spring, where one could continue up Georgia Ave., northeastward on Colesville Rd, or either east or west on MD 410 (E-W Highway).
