We invited our neighbor to sit down with a Mediator we were going to pay for to discuss his peeves. He refused to sit down.

In our circumstance, we believe that the ordinances are no being reinforced objectively and it is not unreasonable to expect that,what we believe are prime suspect, to be interviewed in a Police Report.<br /><br />It should be made clear that Scott and I were born and grew up in and went to college in Pennsylvania. We move to NYC after college. Our situation has often been portrayed as those City Slickers kicking sand in the face of those sweet Country Folk. One reason we chose Pennsylvania is because it is pretty but we didn't realize the underbelly was so dark. We moved here also to some degree to be close to my partners aging parents who have since passed away.<br /><br />I do get the impressions that you are not very comfortable being caught in the cross hairs. Guns are used much like making a fist. You just hope that it doesn't connect.<br /><br /><br />Jerry KottJerry Kotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432041953601833043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-58868890952667646292012-12-18T16:05:52.833-05:002012-12-18T16:05:52.833-05:00The old Sal Panto "hot headed" temper ri...The old Sal Panto "hot headed" temper rises again.

How'd that "ban" work out?<br /><br />The problem is assault weapons in the hands of the deranged. A speeding car is a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of the irresponsible, or a madman. So's a knife, a baseball bat, a tree branch. We ignore the serious issues like single-parent families, bullying, undiagnosed or under treated mental illness, illegal drug use...and then try to enact more laws on top of existing laws to "fix things". <br /> Here's a start:<br /><br />1- Control assault-style weapons for sure.<br />2- Make parents resonsible for their kids' actions.<br />3- Fund mental health issues. reopen state hospitals. Stop thinking that a prescription and a pat on the head is enough for these poor folks.<br />4- try to address the fact that we glorify violence in the media. Don't show a naked woman's breast on TV, but allow violence and carnage to be depicted constantly. <br /><br /><br />VORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-80418989101244058042012-12-18T06:45:59.547-05:002012-12-18T06:45:59.547-05:00The issue is GUNS.

I would think that there are already laws on the books about threatening someone's life, and that the police and courts are the proper venue to pursue a remedy. I would also think that if someone is found guilty of threatening someone, the court might be able to deal with the issue of someone's ability to possess or carry a firearm (depending on the degree of the charge and if the person is found guilty). Correct?"</em><br /><br />Not really. Because Pa. is a "shall issue" state, it is extremely difficult to revoke a LTC.

You see, Mayors govern where the rubber meets the road and we don't look at issues based on a political party affiliation.<br /><br />As for your twiting of words -- where in my paragraphs do you see the elimination of hand guns and where have you ever seen an Ordinance that punished people for losing their gun or not reporting it stolen. <br /><br />The reporting is another tool that the police can use to arrest an individual who they know was the girlfriend, wife or gang member who purchases a gun for a known criminal. These are not laws that affect law-abiding citizens. We have many such laws. It is against the law to kill someone. It is agfains the law to shoplift. It is against the law to speed in your car. And the list goes on and on. Why?

I remember years ago when I use to comment on your blog and we had many e-mail exchanges. I shared with you our concerns about safety in our circumstances in which we believe that neighbors were using stalking gunfire to harass and intimidate us. At first you seemed concerned but then I believe your tune changed and I believe I was getting the impression that I was being led down the Garden Path. I beleive your concern morphed into veiled mockery. We now have a bullet hole in our dusk to dawn security light shade that appears to come form the region of the home/drive of one of the stalking neighbors and no one has been charged.<br /><br />Here is the blog I created that documents events and exhibits evidence of our never ending slow dance with madness.<br /><br />http://str8jacquet.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Strange Universe<br /><br />Jerry KottJerry Kotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432041953601833043noreply@blogger.com
