READ THIS FROM THE ARTICLE: The weapons were seized based on a law legislators passed in the wake of the shooting death of Indianapolis police Officer Jake Laird in 2004. The law allows police to seize weapons until an owner can prove mental fitness to have them. As this law is written, the police can come in and sieze any weapons we have until we can "prove" mental fitness to have them... I for one am not willing to give up my freedom for the illusion of 'security'.

Police Find Large Weapons Cache In Neighborhood Anti-Tank Rifle, Thousands Of Rounds Of Ammo Found
LAWRENCE, Ind. -- Officers who were called to a northeastern Marion County home on a welfare check late Thursday night found one of the largest weapons caches at a home they have ever seen.
Police went to the home in the 7000 block of Lantern Road just before 10 p.m. after the daughter of a 60-year-old man found a suicide note and empty gun holster at the home.
When they arrived, officers found military ordnance in the home and asked investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to do a complete search.
In the search, officers found more than a 100 guns, including a 20 mm Russian anti-tank rifle capable of piercing through most armor, 6News' Jack Rinehart reported.
Investigators also found mortars, mortar shells, nearly 80 pounds of black powder, smoke grenades, a Thompson submachine gun, assorted rifles and shotguns, along with about 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
"It was just kind of really frightening for these officers when they responded to this last night, that this guy could have been at the door and tried a suicide-by-cop situation and obviously was armed well enough to do some damage," said Indianapolis police Major David Allender.
The man was found at about 3 a.m. sitting in a truck in a church parking lot and was detained.
Police said all of the firearms and ammunition in the home posed a serious threat to the neighborhood.
"The neighbors, I can imagine, will be very happy that we're getting this out of the neighborhood because all that ammo and the power that's unsafe," said Officer Chris Wuensch. "I've not seen anything like that, except in the movies."
The weapons were seized based on a law legislators passed in the wake of the shooting death of Indianapolis police Officer Jake Laird in 2004. The law allows police to seize weapons until an owner can prove mental fitness to have them.
"Anything could have went wrong. I mean, he was upset with whatever was going on in his life so we needed, for safe keeping, to take these into custody," said Officer Andre Bell.
Neighbors told Rinehart that they knew the man had weapons but they had no idea about the extent of his stash.
ATF plans to inventory and, possibly, destroy all of the items.

True that Tim was a democrat but he never let his own political views get in the way of his interviews. He was always tough but fair. Everyone knew what to expect when prepping for his show. If you had ANY inconsistencies in your positions over time he would find them! Tim's political leanings seemed a little too far to the left for my tastes, but I always found something about him refreshing and easy to relate to. His death was very sad. I kind of miss seeing him on TV in an odd way--I never really watched Meet The Press or anything like that frequently, but there was just something about him that I liked.

McCain campaign writes off Michigan, turns to Indianawww.wthr.com/global/story.asp?s=9118663&ClientType=PrintableWashington DC- Republican presidential candidate John McCain is giving up on Michigan as his campaign tries to regroup in the face of dominating economic issues. In addition to conceding the battleground state to Democrat Barack Obama, the McCain campaign signaled that it would counter Obama's efforts in Indiana. Indiana hasn't voted for a Democrat since 1964. But surveys show a competitive race after Obama spent months pouring money into the state. Michigan, with 17 electoral votes, went for Democrat John Kerry in 2004, but Republicans had made an effort to try to place it in their column this year. Separately, a Saint Anselm College Institute of Politics poll shows Obama leading McCain by double digits in New Hampshire. (Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

You must not be looking at the same unemployment data and foreclosure data and data of those unable to afford health insurance that I am. The economy is in a slump and on the verge of a recession. The only growth is from borrowing ie financing, check out our negative savings rate. 76, I believe the "fundamentals" of the economy are sound. The base is there, it's in good shape. It's the top that's had the roof blown off here recently. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

palin did a great job.
no major gaffes and she stuck to her strengths. She also limited the number of "you betchas" and "darn rights" and referneces to "small town values" that she used.
