"'FBI: Data on mentally ill could save lives,' announced the Fort Worth Star-Telegram headline last week."
"At last. Recognition that without access to some medical records, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, is an inadequate tool for keeping firearms away from people who, under federal law, can't have them."
"No sane person on either side of the gun debate can reasonably argue that the instant check is not a good idea. Initiated in 1998, NICS replaced the Brady Act, which required a five-day waiting period between the time that an individual filled out the paperwork to buy a handgun and when that person could take possession of it." ... |

"Hollow-point bullets like the one used in the slaying of Officer Daniel Enchautegui are much deadlier than ordinary bullets - and nearly as easy to get."
"Cops favor using the hollow-point bullets because they are less likely to pass through a target and ricochet into a fellow cop or bystander."
"But they want their public sale banned to keep them out of the hands of thugs like Enchautegui's alleged killers, Steven Armento and Lillo Brancato."
"'Our mission is to stop violent felons,' said Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch. 'There is no reason for anyone else to have that ability.'" [emphasis added]
"Armento allegedly shot Enchautegui with his father's .357-caliber handgun, loaded with the hollow-point bullets." ... |

"Gene Powers, 77, wholeheartedly identified with his 11-year-old grandson when the boy yearned for a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun last year. After all, the same gun topped his Christmas list in 1940."
"'It still looks brand new, and I still shoot it,' Powers says about his original Red Ryder, made by the nation’s oldest air gun company. It didn’t take much arm-twisting for the grandfather in Hawkinsville, Ga. (pop. 3,280), to buy each of his four grandsons his own classic Red Ryder. Now, when the boys visit, they head to the backyard to practice their marksmanship on a plywood bull’s-eye propped against the azalea bushes." ... |

"Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence and Washington CeaseFire are working to close what they call the 'newspaper loophole' by pressuring legislators and, increasingly, newspapers themselves to end the practice of selling guns through classified ads."
"'The newspapers are really providing a marketplace for gun dealers to illegally sell firearms,' said John Johnson, director of Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence." ... -------

"The assemblyman who cast a deciding vote last year against overriding the governor's veto of a bill allowing people to carry concealed weapons in public does not like the bill this time around, despite changes aimed at softening opposition."
"Rep. Gary Sherman's vote was controversial at the time, because he voted for the bill before voting against the veto override. At the time, Sherman said he was helping preserve minority power by showing Republicans that they need to work with Democrats."
"Sherman, D-Port Wing, said he would definitely vote against the current bill. ... It is expected to be approved by the Republican-dominated Assembly, and Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle has said that he will once again veto the legislation." ... --------------
That's funny, I distinctly remember Sherman saying that he didn't want a fellow Democrat to be the first governor in one-hundred and however many years to have a veto overridden. |

"Last summer, voters in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District who make their decisions based on gun rights were given two good choices - former State Rep. Jean Schmidt (R) faced off against Iraq War vet Paul Hackett (D), in a special election to fill a seat vacated when President Bush appointed then-Congressman Rob Portman as U.S. Trade Representative."
"The NRA decided it saw enough of a difference between the candidates and endorsed Schmidt, who eventually won 52%-48%, a margin of victory less than typical for Republicans in the district. ..."
"In the effort to read the tea leaves about why this race was closer than some expected, a misunderstanding about Schmidt’s record on support for gun rights has begun to creep into the national lexicon, and it deserves to be addressed." ... |

"The 14-year-old Milford resident is far too accurate with his .22-caliber Anschutz rifle to miss many dead-center shots at the Maspenock Rod and Gun Club.

If you eliminate all the hype and emotion from both sides of this issue, what this handgun ban really comes down to is paying $150 million, over five years, to collectors and/or target shooters to buy back their registered and licensed pistols. That's all, nothing more, nothing less. So, the Liberal solution to the violent crime in the black community, crime surely driven by economic and social hardships experienced within that community, is to pay out 150 million tax dollars to mostly white, middle and upper-middle class pistol target shooters and collectors.
