(AP) FBI Director Robert Mueller on Monday criticized the U.S. Supreme Court''s recent ruling that Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, saying it may harm efforts to deter violent crime.
******************************************

Yes, because before this supreme court ruling, there was hardly any violent crime. What a crock. Almost in every case, when states have passed concealed carry laws and have liberal gun laws, there is less violent crime against innocent victims. The places that have the most restrictive gun laws, seem to have the most violent crime. Here in Kansas a concealed carry law was passed and you would have thought the sky was falling. Everyone was running around putting "No guns allowed" signs on their businesses and the doom and gloomers were predicting anarchy in the streets. Of course nothing like that happened and violent crime against individuals went down. The gang-bangers are still shooting each other, but they did that anyway. Everything will be okay.

Mr Mueller has it wrong, if the US of A government was doing its required job, then there would be no terrorist cells or gangs, or Unions or mistreated Vets or people dying in ER''s for lack of attention or Old poor people eating out of garbage cans and our soldiers would be here guarding our borders the way it should be, not fighting within somebody elses borders

Didn''t Mr. Mueller take an oath to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?
This story suggests that he is using his public office in an attempt to undermine that Constitution.
So, would that be:

%u2013--A. Treachery

---B. Treason

---C. Ethical Violation

---D. Arrogance of Power

or

---E. All of the above?

As a law enforcement professional, I would assume that Mr. Mueller has taken an oath to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. These public comments appear to be part of a calculated effort to undermine that Constitution. I''m no expert on law, ethics or treason, but you can put me down as one American who is very uneasy with this man holding that job.
We should all remember than when seconds count, the police can be there to help you in minutes.

Perhaps someone should remind slack jawed, communist, pinko mueller of the following:

"I, Robert, Slack jawed, communist, pinko, Mueller, do solemnly swear to support, uphold and defend the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to obey the lawful orders and directives of those appointed before and above me, and that I
enter into this office without any mental reservation whatsoever, so help me GOD."

That''s ALL of the Constitution, not just the parts he agrees with.

"I tend to believe weapons harm people and more often than not they harm the people carrying them."

The day that criminals and law enforcement and oppressive governments everywhere alike all decide to lay down their guns and conduct their daily business with paintball guns, count law abiding citizens in with them.

"The fact is we can''t rule out any community in the United States as a potential incubator of terrorism,"

And that would include the FBI I suppose. No offense intended but they''re his words, not mine. Time for a reality check on this kind of thinking in general regarding our fellow Americans - perhaps the fear felt in government circles, when it reaches the point that encompasses anyone and everyone, is the result of that thing others may refer to as their consciouses speaking to them? Most assuredly, there are crackpots out there, just as there are working in the public sector. Some even seem to get elected to public office, or appointed to office by other their crackpot friends. Hey I''m just saying...

One more way for the government to control the people. People wake up, your rights are being taken away bit by bit.

Who is this idiot in charge of the FBI? We the people have the right to have weapons. Considering we could end up under Marshall law, have rioting in the streets because there is no food due to the high cost of gas and distribution issues, I should think every home would want a rifle to protect themselves with. Or does the Government plan on taking them away when this happens?

Check out Directive 51. What do you think will happen when Israel bombs Iran?
