  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    Yousef Rabhi, Chairman of the Washtenaw County Board, is interested in pushing a resolution supporting the repeal of Michigan's "Stand your ground" law (as well as PA 319 of 1990 - the statute that preempts local municipalities from making further regulations against firearms).

    An A-Bomb - OK Maybe Not That

    The opponents to the 2nd amendment [enumerated] rights are so predictable.

    Heck, even the proponents of the 2nd amendment get caught up in the false premises promoted by the lefty lobbies arguing in favor of disarmament.  Even those who advocate gun ownership too often agree rather easily, that a fully automatic machine gun is too much. [to allow]  They agree that having a bazooka is probably just plain crazy.  And that schools are a bad place to allow guns at all; this last receiving an exclamation point with the governor vetoing SB59.

    How sad.  How intellectually lazy.  

    How incredibly naive.

    Not in the failure of the governor to sign, but in the thinking that one does not have the absolute God-given right to defend their person from aggressors by whatever means possible.  In the thinking that some social sense of insecurity should trump the ability for an individual to provide for his or her own protection. In the thought that an unarmed populace is somehow more intrinsically safe than one which in self interest, has armed itself.

    Thus the argument so predictably presented by the left, that the founders of our constitution "didn't envision semi-automatic rifles and machine guns", falls flat on its face.  The second amendment was put in place for a reason.  It was followed up by the third, (quartering without consent) which few could quote, and was placed so early in the bill of rights as to make very clear, its importance. Those two set up a very clear message to our newly formed government that it was not to assume any activity contrary to the liberty and freedoms assumed by the populace; that no action UPON the people would be accepted, and that the people had the right to defend against force in the commission of such action.

    George Mason helped to clarify this fact.

    From a few years ago.

    Every couple years a horrendous act occurs spawning the next round of gun control measures from willing sheep throughout the nation.  Dr Suzanne Gratia Hupp explains through her own experience WHY we should not have restrictions on our ability to carry and self defend.

    Her 'lesson' was as tough as any others that have been received recently.

    However she actually learned from it.
