12 hours in New Mexico
New Mexico pro-gun advocates rallied as part of a national demonstration to tell state and federal lawmakers to not take away gun rights.
National Gun Appreciation Day was held in response to President Barack Obama’s gun law proposals that include universal background checks and bans on assault rifles and high capacity gun clips.
Demonstrators, some armed with guns, met at the New Mexico Roundhouse in Santa Fe on Saturday and cried foul on the president’s gun proposals.
"Our rights, they're spelled out in the Constitution. They're not privileges. Gun ownership and self-defense, it's not a privilege, it's a right,” she said. Tim Dumler said in his three decades as a gun owner he has not committed a violent crime.
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of two adults and three children, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said.
Last night, police found five people dead at a South Valley home in the 2800 block of Long Lane SW. A man, a woman, two girls and a boy were found in the home with several gunshot wounds. Friends identified the man as Greg Griego, a pastor at Calvary Church in Albuquerque.
Shortly after 1:00 p.m. police identified the 15-year-old as Nehemiah Griego. Police believe the teenager used an AR-15 semi automatic rifle in the shooting. Multiple weapons were retrieved from the house.
Lib writer tries to use exception to prove rule. AR-15 rarely used in crimes, (mostly handguns) but Libman does not like, so want to make illegal. Like try to stop drunk driving by make illegal creme de menthe and port wine. Polital/social agenda of progressive wrapped in "post hoc ergo propter hoc" logical fallacy and genuine tragedy.— Bear in Forest- Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. You know what I mean, Will Bunch! Two unrelated events twisted together to suit your prejudices is just as bad a lie. Joe Goebbels would be proud of you.— DonQ

- You're a coward who constantly changes his screen name. Get lost scumbag.
— wokmaster - The secret of keeping and bearing arms is CONTROLLING them. of course. You gun freaks can't do it yourselves, apparently.
- "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" You just can't be this dumb. I didn't the US falling behind the world in education meant reading comprehension - I thought it was just math and science. Oh look a right wing type thinking they have the only interpretation of the Constitution, therefore they are prepared for armed insurrection against their government.— Murrayman
- I heard it reported that 5 persons were accidentally shot at events across the country for National Gun Appreciation Day.— Archimedes

Just wanted to repeat that post, in case the FBI missed it the first time.— Talking point sleuth - This comment has been deleted. — Hobo Floto Voto

"Did someone pull the plug on the 1st amendment too?"
What you call first amendment rights sounds like David Koresh, Randy Weaver and other American extremists. Threatening government officials, even implicitly, is not a right, gun nut.— wokmaster - How many kids died in Conn? 20. There are hundreds of black kids killed every year on the streets of Camden, Philly, and Chicago. No one cares? Liberals always react to the latest "rent-a-cause." They have no proactive forsight. They have no solutions to problems. They just point out problems. Then there is this Will Bunch character. All he does is twist information to try and help libs point out problems. People can't handle the real soultion for these problems. HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. What accountable? The liberals biggest fear. People taking care of themselves and being responsible for themselves. But wait...how will Dems get elected to office if they can't promise to take care of you with handouts. So it continues, crime in the city is casued by poverty so create entitlements for the poor to stop crime. Doesn't work. City schools suck so we create free breakfast, lunch and dinner so parents don't have to feed kids at all. Doesn't work. Everbody ignores the real problem accountabiltiy. Until we have a paradigm shift and stop enabling people, dare I say encouraging people, to be helpless America will continue its down-ward spiral.— Chaz-taz
- "There are hundreds of black kids killed every year on the streets of Camden, Philly, and Chicago. No one cares?"
Where do you and other conservatives get the idea that "no one cares"? Please provide some kind of proof to back up this accusation. It sounds more like you're trying to rationalize the saturation of guns in this country and the massacre of 20 first graders in their elementary school than showing concern about inner-city crime victims.— wokmaster
