Obama’s Secretary Of Education

Arne Duncan won an award from the gun-ban lobby.  The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence presented Duncan with its “Man of the Year” award in October 2008.  Ducan could not yet accept the award because victory over guns had not yet been achieved.

Arne Duncan can use this office as a bully pulpit to promote repressive gun control as an absolute necessity “for the children.”  That’s what he did as superintendent of Chicago public schools.

Duncan’s solution?  Ban all guns, everywhere.  In the Chicago Tribune on October 14, 2008, he said, ” This is a public health epidemic.  We are struggling to find the cure for AIDS, we are struggling to find the cure for cancer; We know the cure for this public health epidemic -getting rid of guns.”

On April 1, 2008, Duncan as Chicago schools superintendent had students bussed to the state capital in Springfield, at taxpayer expense, as backdrops for the gun control lobbyists.

There is every reason to be concerned that Obama’s Secretary of Education will turn the Deaprtment of Education into a tool to promote a gun – ban agenda in America’s public schools.

Armed Citizen

EMPLOYEES AT TEXAS Components were stunned when the daughter of an employee entered the business armed with archery tackle and a realistic looking toy gun. Police say the crazed woman drew her bow and fired an arrow into an emplpoyee’s chest, then pointed the fake pistol at others. Fearful for their lives, two employees, both of whom had concealed-carry licenses, drew pistols and shot the woman several times. When the woman pointed an arrow at a responding officer, he shot her once more. The suspect and injured worker were both listed i stable condition at the hospital.

POLICE SAY TWO suspected burglars have been dealt a great deal of punishment. First, a homeowner caught the suspects rifling through his garage. “I asked him what the hell he was doing and he said, ‘Cleaning the garage,”‘ the homeowner recalls. The homeowner ran inside to get a gun, and the suspects fled. Police caught one of the men hiding under a nearby vehicle. His accomplice was arrested after he brazenly broke into a second home. In that incident, the homeowner shot the suspect with a shotgun and held him for police.

 NINETY-YEAR-OLD Berlie Mae Johnson was watching the evening news with her husband when two men burst through the back door. “Be quiet. Don’t say a word. Don’t move!” demanded one of the intruders as he put a gun to her head. “It’s terrible. You expect at any moment …”she said, her voice cracking. “My nerves are shot. He’d probably hve killed me.” But he husband, Charles, age 91, came to the rescue. He grabbed his .38-caliber revolver from under a sofa cushion. One of the intruders fled immediately. “He saw the gun and, boy, he was gone,” Mr. Johnson recalls. The other intruder was still threatening his wife, but a single shot from Johnson’s revolver sent him running. Johnson said he has a message for others: “Be prepared. Keep your doors locked. And be alert.” His wife added, “And have a gun ready.”
