HOUSE SPEAKER BLOCKS  ASSAULT WEAPON DISCOURSE ON THE FLOOR DO YOU REALLY NEED THIS NOW? June 15, 2016 Just as predicted the House Republicans yesterday refused to entertain previous legislation introduced by Diane Feinstein (D-CA) that essentially ban sale of assault weapons to individuals who made the FBI top ten thousand list as a possible threat to security. Among the arguments for this bill is that those deemed to be classified as "No Fly" could not buy any weapon.

New Questions, Criticism Arise PARIS --   Up to Three Million French   Assemble in Paris and across France united as one condemning recent acts of terrorism. Last week two  brothers raided the offices of the satirical magazine   Charlie   Hebdo   and a second bloodbath followed with a horrendous attack upon a supermarket in a Jewish neighborhood. The march led by the families of the victims and numbers of "ordinary citizens" swelled to 1.6 million in Paris.    The march began at the   Place   de   la   Republique   and concluded in the   Place   de   la Nation   as seen  in BBC   photographs and video.  I was totally blown away (metaphorically) to learn that this moment in a long history of French patriotism surpassed the throngs of people who celebrated the liber...
