The calm before the storm.

Think Mitt would secretly be happy if this happened? BTW, I thought people over here on our side of the pond were sensitive to public remarks...Good Lord do those Brits have their knickers in a bunch.
 
It won't happen just like an attempt on Obama wouldn't happen. Their might be plans but they'll never reach execution stage because everyone involved is on such high alert and prepared for such. When it happens, we won't be expecting it.
 
LOL @ Scat!!!!


Your username was always clear to me, we studied Latin roots in junior high. I gotta admit you and your friends were pretty clever though :-)

The word that confounds me is arguably; I'm never certain how definitive a statement is supposed to be if it's arguably so.

And David Cameron in his sensitivity took a de facto shot at SLC/UT/Mitt by telling everybody the 2002 games were more easily hosted because they took place in the middle of nowhere! We should demand he step down.

Lol yeah he did. But whatever. If they both want to act like teenagers then whatever.


He made fun of us first!!!! RAAA!!!!

We could take them in a war of words. The Guardian, BBC and the like don't want it with those vitriolic KSL and Deseret News contributors.
 
Just my two cents. Violent gun-related crimes are not committed by legally obtained firearms. Banning guns will not take them out of the hands of the criminals. FYI Mexico has some of the most strict gun ownership laws in the world and it's not helping them much.

Edit: thriller, you've been Sainted

One of the more surprising thiings about the Obama presidency is the fact that he hasn't had an assassination attempt. Well not yet at least. I thought for sure some racist tool would take a shot at him by now.
 
Back when he was first elected the Secret Service busted a bunch of idiots in Denver that where attempting to assasinate Obama at a speach/event in Denver. Anyone remember that?

No. The only thing I remember was the dude who threw his shoe at W in Iraq. Nothing with Obama. And by the way who throws a shoe?

Looks like it was pre-election, if this is the one you are referencing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_assassination_scare_in_Denver

The Barack Obama assassination scare in Denver refers to an alleged plot by Shawn Robert Adolf, Tharin Robert Gartrell and Nathan Dwaine Johnson to assassinate Barack Obama, then the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nominee. The trio allegedly planned to shoot Senator Obama with a high-powered rifle during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.


There was also that kid that was taking pot shots at the White House with a rifle when Obama was gone. But while these things might be considered assassination attempts by legal definition, I'm sure most people are thinking more along the lines of a Regan type deal when you talk about that kind of stuff.

Yeah that is what I was talking about. The Denver thing seemed shaky as in they were not very coordinated and it seemed like a bunch of hillbillies threw it together. But it is the closest I can remember to Obama having any real threats.

I never thought we'd see any attempt for the reasons I mentioned. The same goes for these Olympics.
 
Using some Americans' logic...

Then every Brit needs to be packing. Assault rifles, grenades, bazookas, body armor, etc.

That is the only way to prevent crime. Fight violence with even more violence.


Gun control has nothing to do with premeditated bombings, you idiot.

Stop trying to derail threads by turning them into your own personal soapbox.
