Here is something for all you Gun Control freaks to think about. An armed U.S. Diplomat
had to take out a gun to shoot two armed men on a motorcylce who fired on his vehicle
in Pakistan.
Now if this Diplomat did not have a gun, he would have been assassinated by those shooters.!

Question is: what does the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution have to do with Pakistan law?
LAHORE, Pakistan — Pakistan will pursue murder charges against a U.S. consular employee suspected of shooting two armed men during a possible robbery attempt, a top prosecutor said Friday as protesters called for the American to be severely punished.
The killings in this bustling city on Thursday have attracted intense media coverage in Pakistan, and the government – already viewed by some critics as being subservient to the United States – will be under pressure to allow the law to run its course.
US threatens to cut aid to Pakistan - Central & South Asia - Al Jazeera EnglishUS congress members have threatened to stop aid to Pakistan unless it releases an American detained over shooting deaths of two Pakistani men.
"During the course of investigation, police retrieved photographs of some sensitive areas and defence installations from Davis' camera,"
A security official also told the Express Tribune that Davis' name did not figure on a list of US diplomats presented by the American embassy to the ministry of foreign affairs on January 25.
Dave Lindorff: The Deepening Mystery of Raymond Davis and Two Slain Pakistani MotorcyclistsDavis (whose identity was first denied and later confirmed by the US Embassy in Islamabad), and the embassy have claimed that he was hired as an employee of a US security company called Hyperion Protective Consultants, LLC, which was said to be located at 5100 North Lane in Orlando, Florida. Business cards for Hyperion were found on Davis by arresting officers.
However CounterPunch has investigated and discovered the following information:
First, there is not and never has been any such company located at the 5100 North Lane address. It is only an empty storefront, with empty shelves along one wall and an empty counter on the opposite wall, with just a lone used Coke cup sitting on it. A leasing agency sign is on the window. A receptionist at the IB Green & Associates rental agency located in Leesburg, Florida, said that her agency, which handles the property, part of a desolate-looking strip mall of mostly empty storefronts, has never leased to a Hyperion Protective Consultants. She added, In fact, until recently, we had for several years occupied that address ourselves.
This whole case is a joke, they already know the guys he shot had guns and just robbed someone earlier that day. Plus the fact that they are trying to charge this man for having a bereta in Pakistan is a fucking joke, why don't they go arrest all those Taliban who carry abound rocket launchers and AK-47's like its nobodies business?

Not according to the apologists. But I agree with you. It's a mockery.
It seems he was not a diplomat, but rather a hired gun, good for Pakistan for upholding their law
well maybe they will show some balls in this case, running around with a gun is not allowed in Pakistan

well maybe they will show some balls in this case, running around with a gun is not allowed in Pakistan
You're not serious right? EVERYONE CARRIES WEAPONS IN PAKISTAN! There is a town in Pakistan called Darra that is called the city of guns, you can quite easily have anything made there for you. From a C-96 Mauser all the way up to a DsHK .50 cal machinegun.
There are areas under Government control and there are areas under tribal control

BBC News - US man Raymond Davis shot Pakistan pair 'in cold blood'"It was cold-blooded murder," said Mr Tareen. "Eyewitnesses have told police that he directly shot at them and he kept shooting even when one was running away. It was an intentional murder."
Police officials have previously said that the two men were street robbers, although conspiracy theorists have suggested that the pair were members of Pakistani intelligence.
The Associated Press news agency says Pentagon records show that Mr Davis is a former Special Forces soldier who left the army in 2003 after 10 years of service.
