Gun control in the US?
How the Gun Control Advocates Want You to See the Piers Morgan-Alex Jones Debate
This is what they are pushing.
When in fact, Jones was warning about what Stalin and Hitler did after guns were taken away from citizens in the Soviet Union and Germany.
It might be something for Alex to get worked up about.
BTW: Here's some background from The Straight Dope on gun controls in Germany:
A brief history of the Soviet Union under Stalin.

BTW: Here's some background from The Straight Dope on gun controls in Germany:
Here's what occurred after 1937, according to the Constitutionalist:
1935 "has no correlation with any legislative effort by the Nazis for gun registration." (Nor, for that matter, does 1936...) Indeed, there was no need for the Nazis to pass a law like that, because the earlier Weimar government had already passed gun registration laws. When I asked [Clayton] Cramer [author of Firing Back] about his research, he said, "The laws adopted by the Weimar Republic intended to disarm Nazis and Communists were sufficiently discretionary that the Nazis managed to use them against their enemies once they were in power." In other words, they didn't need to pass additional laws. The Nazis did pass a weapons law in 1938, but that only added restrictions to the previous law, especially for Jews and other "non-citizens."[...]
Cramer further noted that although gun control laws helped the Nazis suppress political dissidents and round up German Jews for extermination, "they weren't the major part of the process." Later, when they invaded Eastern Europe, Cramer says the Nazis did indeed benefit from the inability of their victims to fight back. [...]
Cramer says the Nazis did benefit significantly from gun control in Eastern Europe in terms of "the inability of their victims to fight back." He cites The Holocaust, a book by Leni Yahil (translated by Ina Friedman and Haya Galai, Oxford University Press, 1990), which has a chapter discussing armed resistance by Jews, including rebellions with just a few firearms and a lot of courage. In addition, he talks about Israel Guttman's book, Resistance: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which discusses the difficulty the Jews faced in obtaining weapons.
Cramer believes that "if the population of Eastern Europe were as well armed as the average American, the Nazis would have lost much of their military capacity attempting to implement the Holocaust."
Nazi Weapons Act of 1938 (Translated to English)
- Classified guns for "sporting purposes".
- All citizens who wished to purchase firearms had to register with the Nazi officials and have a background check.
- Gave Nazis unrestricted power to decide what kinds of firearms could, or could not be owned by private persons.
- The types of ammunition that were legal were subject to control by bureaucrats.
- Juveniles under 18 years could not buy firearms and ammunition.
A GUN CONTROL LAW PASSED BY THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT ONE DAY AFTER KRISTALLNACHT
1573REGULATIONS AGAINST JEWS' POSSESSION OF WEAPONS
11 November 1938
With a basis in §31 of the Weapons Law of 18 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p.265), Article III of the Law on the Reunification of Austria with Germany of 13 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 237), and §9 of the Führer and Chancellor's decree on the administration of the Sudeten-German districts of 1 October 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p 1331) are the following ordered:§1
Jews (§5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.
§2
Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.
§3
The Minister of the Interior may make exceptions to the Prohibition in §1 for Jews who are foreign nationals. He can entrust other authorities with this power.
§4
Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions of §1 will be punished with imprisonment and a fine. In especially severe cases of deliberate violations, the punishment is imprisonment in a penitentiary for up to five years.
§5
For the implementation of this regulation, the Minister of the Interior waives the necessary legal and administrative provisions.
§6
This regulation is valid in the state of Austria and in the Sudeten-German districts.

Building momentum for your real estate business
by Teri Conrad →
Push vs. pull, law of attraction or just plain physics. There are certain laws of the universe at work in determining your success.
We’ve all experienced it. You get in a funk. Nothing seems to be working. You feel like you’re beating your head against a wall, your attitude tanks. You’ve lost your mojo and so you retreat.
OR success after success, like a snowball effect, one thing leads to another. You’re on fire and you can do no wrong! Every time you turn around there are new opportunities landing in your lap seemingly out of nowhere!
Sir Isaac Newton knew a thing or two: His first law of motion states:
An object at rest will stay at rest and conversely, an object in motion will remain in motion, UNLESS compelled to change by another force.

“…Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.“ —Denis Diderot
One year ago, Nigerians flirted with revolution. In an unexampled move, the citizens protested to resist an economic policy foisted on them by vampires in power. A state that had long neglected its mandate found itself caught on the brink of people-power. We know how the January 2012 protests went down. The peoples’ revolt was cut short but while it lasted, it lasted. The fact that it came in the wake of the Arab Spring created unease in executive quarters.

After decades of research, scientists unlock how insulin interacts with cells
Discovery could lead to dramatic improvements for people managing diabetes
The discovery of insulin nearly a century ago changed diabetes from a death sentence to a chronic disease.
Today a team that includes researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine announced a discovery that could lead to dramatic improvements in the lives of people managing diabetes.
After decades of speculation about exactly how insulin interacts with cells, the international group of scientists finally found a definitive answer: in an article published today in the journal Nature, the group describes how insulin binds to the cell to allow the cell to transform sugar into energy—and also how the insulin itself changes shape as a result of this connection.

KIM & KANYE WE DROPPED $11 MIL On New Mansion
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West aren't committed in matrimony ... but they ARE committed in 11 million (and one) other ways -- TMZ has learned the duo just bought an$11 MILLION MANSION!
Sources close to K & K tell TMZ ... the future parents are now the proud owners of a 10,000-square-foot pad in an über-private, gated community in Bel Air, CA.
Kim and Kanye have owned the house for a few weeks ... and they've already gutted it and are designing a 14,000-square-foot dream home in its place.
The new home will be an Italian-style villa ... with a gym, movie theater, full hair and makeup salon, bowling alley, basketball court, indoor and outdoor pool ... oh and probably a baby nursery. Just a hunch.
Not included ... a wedding date. We're told there are no plans.
FUN FACT: Kim & Kanye's new neighbors will include Jennifer Aniston, Chris Paul, and Joe Francis.

Who is Lionel Messi?
Born to a factory worker and a part-time cleaner in Argentina, Lionel Messi has risen from being a skilled child footballer to a maverick international star who has claimed almost every award in the world of football. On Monday (January 8), the 25-year-old added another title to his long list of awards - Ballon d'Or, his fourth.

In the week the internet celebrates its 30th birthday, Matt Warman says its influence has never been greater – but you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Pioneers: Vint Cerf, top right, helped invent the internet; Sir Tim Berners-Lee, bottom, built the web on it; and Mark Zuckerberg founded social networking website Facebook
As 1982 drew to a close, it was the sound of Renee and Renato’s Christmas Number One Save Your Love that was setting pulses racing. Even the most enthusiastic of geeks was struggling to get excited by the standardising of the ‘transmission control protocol’. Yet the move to a new system for connecting computers, 30 years ago this week, was to spawn the £1trillion internet industry, change the course of the music business forever, reinvent banking and fundamentally change how we communicate with other people.

7 Things Your Employees Will Never Tell You
Jeff Haden of Inc. Magazine has struck again, this time with a post about...
7 Things Your Employees Will Never Tell You
Here's what your employees might really be thinking, according to Jeff...
1. “Please don’t talk to me about your personal life.”
"Employees, especially new employees, have no interest in hearing about
your go-to topics like your last vacation or your antique collection or your
beach house."
2. “Can’t you see I’m really busy?”
"Employees want to talk to you, but they have work to do, too.
Don't interrupt an employee who is busy simply because today you’ve
decided to “check in with the troops.”
3. “I can tell you really don’t care about my personal life.”
"Either take the time to get to know your employees well enough so you
can have a decent conversation or just stick to work-related subjects."
4. “You claim you respect me… so give me something important to do.”
"Assigning an employee a critical task is a definite sign of respect.
Do it as often as you can."
5. “You claim you trust me… so give me something important to
do and let me decide how to do it.”
"When you assign a project without providing a lot of direction your employees
instantly know you respect their abilities and trust their judgment.
Employees appreciate respect; they love trust."
6. “Actually, I would like to work here a long time.”
"No matter what your industry, high employee turnover doesn’t have to be a
fact of employment life. Find out why employees leave and address the
causes. It’s stressful to change jobs, so most employees won’t start job
searching unless you give them a reason to."
7. “That gift card is nice, but a simple ‘thanks’ is really all I need.”
"Sure, every time you hand out paychecks you’re implicitly saying thanks,
but find reasons to thank your employees as often as you can. "Thanks for
taking care of that difficult customer.” “Thanks for jumping in and helping
Mike.” “Thanks for letting me know we have a problem in the warehouse."
