Thank God. It wasn't an AK or AR-type (you all know, .. the ERB).

We were just there this March. Metal detectors are everywhere, and in 90% of the museums I can remember. You will then be pulled aside, and any bags and pockets you have will be emptied and gone through if the detector goes off.
Its about as particular as airport security, and they fear stupid little things like fingernail clippers and small pocket knives just as much as somebody walking in with an Uzi.

The lefts anti-gun agenda is all encompassing; they don't want just your "assault" weapons, they want EVERYTHING. Hunting shotguns and rifles, target pistols... a few years from now we'll hear about blackpowder revolvers being the new evil scourge.
There are already murmurs (in a another thread here, in fact) of a folding pocket knife ban. Then we'll move on to basball bats, kitchen knives and sharpened pencils.

Must have been a really good headshot to end the guard's life with that round.
Watch it turn out to be a single shot, bolt action boy scout's plinker purchased 80 years ago.

Probably a pretty good person to see for advise. As I'm not sure I'd trust advise that's more than a couple weeks old. You're going to the land of 10,000 bureaucrats after all.

Kecker, I think you understated the number just a bit. I think if we took all the bureaucrates and filled up our 10,000+ lakes, it would only be a good start.

You start with the Department of Agriculture, I'll start with Health and Human Services.

People like James von Brunn just reinforce my resolve.
Crossposted from my blog:
Quote: "Never Again" is not a prayer.On Facebook today, I noted that today would have been Anne Frank's 80th birthday, and closed with "Never Again." A Jewish friend sent me a message, saying I was too optimistic. It's not optimism. When I say "never again," it's not a prayer -- it's a warning.  European Jews had a shtetl mentality.<sup><a href="#FOOTNOTE-1">1</a></sup> Unfortunately, a lot of American Jews do, too. Israeli Jews, largely, don't. And neither do I. If they should come with the cattle cars, they won't find all sheep: there will be some sheepdogs<sup><a href="#FOOTNOTE-2">2</a></sup> in the herd. Fuzzy and gentle, like sheep, but with teeth and claws, too, and the willingness to use them. Read about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.<sup><a href="#FOOTNOTE-3">3</a></sup> That's what a small group of utterly unprepared Jews did. Well, we aim to be better prepared, which may go a long way to prevent the next time from even happening.  Do you know why the Japanese never invaded the U.S. mainland during World War II? As admiral Yamamoto famously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass." Well, the same goes for the Buford Furrows, the James von Brunns, and the Mahmoud Ahmadinejads of the world. Don't try it -- there'll be an armed Jew behind at least some of those blades of grass, and we won't come quietly again. Happy Birthday, Anne. Never again. <br clear="all"> <hr> 1 <a name="FOOTNOTE-1"></a> http://www.forward.com/articles/12985/ 2 <a name="FOOTNOTE-2"></a> http://www.gleamingedge.com/mirrors/ons ... pdogs.html 3 <a name="FOOTNOTE-3"></a> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_UprisingPhotos by <a href="http://www.olegvolk.net">Oleg</a> <a href="http://www.a-human-right.com">Volk</a>

Wow. I was just there less than a month ago.
Yup, metal detectors to get in there. Also metal detectors to get into the cafe right next to it. Just something I found odd, when we went into the museum we were informed that my friend can't have her apple juice in there for "security reasons." My other friend's water was okay. Alrighty then.

The EPA would shut ya down because of massive pollution.

From the sounds of it he came in shooting. Although if I remember right the entire front is clear glass so they should have been able to see him coming...although they were probably busy dealing with visitors.
