"A judge who went ahead with a hearing
after the defendant had collapsed following a small stroke apologized
after sentencing the man to nearly three years in prison on a gun
charge. . .
He sentenced Gorsuch to 33 months in prison for possessing guns
after being convicted of slapping his wife."

I make no excuses for this "man" hitting his wife. But prison time
because he didn't turn in his guns afterward? Things are getting
out of hand, real quick.

"Gun-control advocates are calling on Attorney
General-designate John Ashcroft to relinquish his National Rifle
Association membership, saying it would be a conflict for him to remain
affiliated with the gun lobby while enforcing the nation's gun laws."

While he's at it, after he's confirmed, he might as well withdraw
his Oath to uphold the Constitution. That would seem appropriate
considering some other views of his.

20-Year-Old Gets Prison in Friend's Death Submitted by: Clifford J. Petersen	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
It's because of the drugs; it's the gun's fault; my friend shouldn't have had his face in front of the barrel; it's not my fault... Kill someone while stoned/drunk then "vow" to straighten out and the teary-eyed liberal judge will give you six, parole in two, instead of the hard 70 which JUSTICE calls for - at a minimum. This "judge" should be tossed.

First they admit that gun-related CRIME has increased since the handgun ban. Then they say Britian will be compiling a database of LEGAL gun owners. This "solution" does not follow rational or logical thinking.

Obviously, confiscation will be coming soon to Great Britian.

Although this does not come as a surprise to many of you, you MUST heed this warning and not allow your elected officials to follow through with similar gun control measures.

Last week, National Public Radio featured a five-part series on its Morning Edition program that purported to evaluate Bill Clinton's foreign-policy record. The show's relatively lengthy segments devoted to arms control, Europe, Russia, China, and the Middle East, however, told the audience more about NPR's biases than it did about the dismal Clinton legacy.

No way they went from 20% to 87% in two months. NONE.
