Gun bill sponsor rebuffs legal concerns
Just an observation after reading these posts. I grew up in Lawrence and loved the life I had there. The diverse population, because of KU made it a quirky, interesting place to live, and many times Ive have thought about moving back. Through out my life since leaving I have encounter several people from other parts of Kansas, and whenever I mentioned I was from Lawrence, I got a cold response. I heard phrases like "snob hill", "wackos" and such, and THOSE were the nicer terms for the people of Lawrence. I could never understand everyones disdane for our great town/city. After reading these posts, and many other posts on the site I have begun to see what the others in the state see. When confronted with a conservative opinion they dont agree with, so many on this site resort to personal attacks questioning the mentality and intelligence of the person. Seldom is the response about the opinion, or even a rebuttle of the that opinion, too often its down to just ridicule of the person. When a minority of the population try to control the majority, and spend way too much time insulting them, after a while the majority usually just ignores them or look at the as so many in Kansas look at the residence of Lawrence. I'm pretty sure that this posting will result in the just very insults and ridicule I had mentioned.

Letter: NRA proposal
Did anyone notice the shooting incident in Texas that happened the day after Sandy Hook? A guy pulled out an AK and started shooting near a crowd of people in line to go to a movie. He first shot up some stores but his line of fire was moving towards the crowd. An off duty sheriff shot him with her privatley owned weapon, stopping him before he could hurt anyone. The most important part of the story is the fact that no one from the national news networks even mentioned it. Now rather than provide a link I suggest you look up ANY newspaper or local news outlet from Texas, I think it was around Amarillo area and see what they are saying about it

South Carolina should fight voter ID ruling
except maybe to help the canidate that wants to make sure no one gets deported. You say there are measures in place when a person signs in......what are they? If you dont have to prove who you are, then whats to keep you from going back and voting again at another polling place? Whats to keep you from using anothers name, one that you know is registered

South Carolina should fight voter ID ruling
How can it ever be proven when we are not allowed any means of determining that the person voting is actually allowed to vote? If we made it so that the police were not allowed to ask for a persons drivers licsense, then we could say no one has ever been proven in a court of law to have driven a car without one.

Aisha Khan's in-laws know little about why she disappeared
It could happen if the police were contacted by a group that is known to them, whose purpose is to rescue and hide women from abusive marraiges.

Have you or a family member served in the military?
The TSA is violating human rights? If you feel that strongly then dont fly. When it comes to condeming all members of the military you are basing it on the actions of some members. Would it be fair to condem all Penn St asst coaches for the actions of one? All the coaches choose to be a coach, so under you guidlines all of them are guilty. Sorry but your comments rely on too much generalization to be much more than misinformed tripe

To Liberty,
If I were to condem all the people of one race for the actions of a few or the actions years ago, you would probably be first in line to condem my words. Yet, you feel its perfectly ok to do that to those that wrote a blank check to the people of the United States that said "yes I will even give my life to keep you safe"
