Ice-T gun control

Ice-T offered his take on gun control in the wake of the Colorado shooting at an Aurora movie theater. The rapper-turned actor says a person like suspect James Holmes will use any means necessary to murder if they are "hell-bent" on killing. Guns are the last fight "against tyranny", he said.
Monday, Mediaite reported on an interview Ice gave recently surrounding the "Dark Knight Rises" massacre that left 12 dead and dozens injured.

Ice-T: 'Gun control a waste of time, won't stop murders'


Many emotional responses were given in the wake of the "Batman" shooting, and the issue of gun control in America became part of the running discussion. Some believe lax gun legislation in this country is the reason mass shootings like Aurora, Columbine and Virginia Tech take place.
Ice-T sees gun control laws in a different perspective.
"It's legal in the United States. The right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It's to protect yourself from the police," he said at the beginning of the interview.
When asked if he thought the murders by suspect James Holmes was similar to his point, he said:
"No. Not really. If somebody wants to kill people, they don’t need a gun to do it.”
The host pushed back and said:
"Makes it easier though, doesn't it?"
Ice-T countered by saying this about gun control:
"Not really. You can strap explosives on your body. They do that all the time."
What took place in Aurora, Colo., for all practical purposes, could not have been prevented. There is just no way to guard against what looks like a delusional and manic person in James Holmes aka the "Joker."
Will an assault weapons ban work and prevent mass murders like the Colorado shootings? Not likely. In fact, would-be-killers will just find some other means.
In the drug trade, narcotics are illegal. However, that is what fuels the market and creates a demand and widespread competition. Sadly, the trade is run like a market system, with different layers of ownership and distribution.
Maybe Ice-T is right about gun control in how stiffer laws will not do much to prevent killing. In fact, some experts believe it will only place guns into the hands of criminals and a rouge group of tyrants. What say you?

The only way to save soul is turn back to God.
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Ecclesiastes11:10

iPhone 5 and iPad nerds, get your wallets and bank accounts ready. According to Plugged-in KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, an individual who is no stranger to Apple rumors, both the iPhone 5 and the smaller incarnation of the iPad should be available to consumers this September. Hopefully you’ll have enough scratch left in your bank account following all of your glamorous summer vacations to afford two new gadgets from a company that excels at making gadgets.

iPhone 5 and iPad Mini Should Be Available This September

“iPhone 5 to debut in September,” Ming-Chi wrote in a letter to clients. “But due to in-cell touch panel and casing yield rate limits, ability to offset older models’ shipments decrease will be moderate. Though shipments of iPad mini’s components will start in August, the new iPad line will end production, ready for transition to a modified New iPad line. As such, component shipments will drop in August as iPad mini’s components shipments growth will be offset.”
Unfortunately, a concrete date for the release has not been officially issued, though rumor has it the new iPhone will hit shelves on September 21st. Regardless, news that the iPhone 5 is (finally) coming down the proverbial pipeline later this year is sure to cause Apple geeks to salivate in anticipation. I know several people who will no doubt line up extra early to get their hands on the latest offering from their technological Lord and Savior. Do keep in mind, however, that release dates are always subject to change. Now it’s September, tomorrow it could be October.
The iPad mini, which features a thin 7.85-inch display, will set you back between $249 and $299. As far as the iPhone 5 is concerned, a price has not been quoted, though I’m sure it’s going to be a little on the expensive side. They generally are.
Care to read some Twitter posts from folks who are freaking out about the iPhone 5′s September release date? If so, you’re in luck. Take a moment to peruse some of the reactions below. As you can tell, a lot of people are pretty jazzed about getting their hands on one.
