I did some research and found out, get this, the sign pictured above was placed in public view in the Willow Bend, TX location and several others. Although they claim corporate offices never directed them to do so Chick-Fil-A spokeswoman Tiffany Greenway said that the company had decided to recall the Muppet toys nationwide "for the protection of their customers", despite the fact that the toys had passed all safety tests required.

Actually Ryan the first statement we both keep replying to on my name states that the law enforcement are pretty certain all of his weapons were purchased legally. Now, that's not to say they may not find out later a weapon or two was gained illegally, but they all appear to have been legitimately purchased through legal means. I'm not assuming anything at this point for either men. You're right, the Maryland case could very well be someone caught just running off at the mouth. We just don't know yet.

In discussions with my wife I've mentioned the movie Minority Report in that the police utilize gifted physics to preempt crime. Even if this was available it wouldn't be just. There's no way to know if a crime would have been committed. In this latest case there's currently no evidence that this man wasn't just talking @%@@ because he was angry about losing his job. Sure we can say he may be loony but we don't know. Do we even know if any of the weapons he possessed were illegally acquired? Bottom line, this one needs some more time before we know what's really going on. Sure, it likely was a good piece of police work but we just don't know.

He worked apparently for a subcontractor of Pitney Bowes. I don't know exactly what he did there, but it obviously did pay very well. Another aspect attributable to these types of crimes seem to be the possibility of mental health issues. As scary as that seems, how does one go about placing preventitive measures against such things? You really can't. If in fact the same can be said of the Aurora, CO incident with Mr. Holmes, that is, if he is found to be suffering from schizophrenia as they believe how do we take that into account? The onset of this type of illness usually takes place right around his age group. There are even reports that he was supposed to see or had recently seen a psychiatrist. I'm getting a little off track here. Perhaps this belongs on the other rivalry or another altogether, but seriously it does have to be taken into account in these situations. People have been too quick to judge in my opinion, and it may take more time before we really know more. I've already seen one discussion on Facebook concerning Mr. Holmes where almost half, if not more than those who commented, pretty much stated he should be put to death. I'll save the rest for the death penalty conversation.

This guy must have been paid pretty damn good to afford an arsenal like that. The only thing keeping me from purchasing an ar-15 is the fact that the cheapest one you can purchase is $600. By the looks of the photo he had upwards and possibly beyond 12k in weapons. Certainly glad they stopped him before doing something similar to the other shooter.

Here is a link to the latest news on this particular individual, what he said to his boss, and a few more details about him. Apparently Deputy Chief Henry Stawinski has filed for an emergency petition to have the suspect undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

It's one thing to be a collector or an enthusiast, or to simply enjoy firing some weapons for sport, but this just seems a little ridiculous. Why did it really require someone alerting the police to this person? There should be some sort of red flag for law enforcement to follow in order to at least investigate matters like these before they turn deadly. Would it really be so bad to have someone question gun owners as to their recent purchases instead of sorting through evidence after another massacre? If you don't have anything to hide then you really shouldn't care. I know I wouldn't mind it happening to me as long as it could possibly deter horrible events like these from ever happening again.

LOL. Then we will just agree to disagree. You are right. I could point out many times the GOP has done the same thing to liberal/democratic supporters. Although I look at it more from a standpoint of factchecking than investigating I guess.

Subsidies are a joke. It's government simply attempting to pick winners and losers. Solyndra anyone? Some arguments could be made for some subsidies being relevant but a majority of them are political tools and government intrusion into the private sector.

I do find it scary that those who oppose Mr. Obama are instantly investigated by the liberal powers to be. I remember the same thing occurring with Joe the Plumber. I'm sure you'll highlight where the GOP has done something similar but I can't think of anything recently.

If true, that gentlemen should feel like a horses ass for appearing in the ad, regardless of whether he's a Romney supporter.This would be like a business owner claiming venture capitalist investments had nothing to do with his/her success only to find out they received a massive amount of VC money.

Again, the core of the disagreement is the appropriate role of government and much like pro life, pro choice this is going to be something liberals and conservatives will NEVER agree on.

I also found it very humorous that several of the Romney ads show a particular businessman who is complaining about the Obama statements "you didn't build that", and goes on to state that he personally built his company from the ground up. Which he did, and kudos to him, but it was also revealed later through investigations that he had built his company from the ground up with over $700,000 in government subsidized loans. Although he should be very proud of his company and his success I find it very contradictory of him to act as though he received no help whatsoever in his endeavor. Although we don't need or want government hands in every thing we do, sometimes it does help rather than hinder. I believe that was the point President Obama was really trying to make during his speech.

Well, because I know he's a liberal and I am too I have the same views he does, but I do want to point out though that I don't believe that's what this particular speech was about. It simply mentions that in some part government does play a role in the success of a business, but not entirely. You don't owe everything to the government. He knows that. I know that. That's just not the point here. The point is that everybody gets a little help from somewhere in order to make a business successful whether they realize it or not.

I understand what you're saying and will admit that situations like the video where Obama says "My Muslim Faith" is out of context and irrelevant but I personally have a problem with the intended point he was making and disagree with him on his view of the role and impact of government.

It's as simple as that.
