For those following Rick Stanley's case in Colorado...
The Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate was arrested in mid-December for carrying a pistol openly at a public rally celebrating the Bill of Rights.
Apparently, the print media in Colorado reporting on the case either have extraordinarily incompetent reporters, or...
...they lie to shed a negative light on Second Amendment advocates. |

She didn't turn around and kept walking, just like he said. But he shot her anyway.
She heard people calling 911.
3 weeks later she is weak, spends her time sleeping, her teeth are wired together (one of the bullets shattered her jaw), and she has no hearing in her right ear. She is afraid to be left alone and has nightmares about being robbed at gunpoint -- 1 of them is still loose.
"But she is happy that Tampa police arrested 2 of the 3 kidnappers," the newspaper claims.
KABA NOTE: If she had been armed and trained, the police might have all 3 -- in bodybags. |

The amount of land in North America "protected" from development tripled over the past three decades, yet pollution, "hunting" and loss of habitat still threaten at least 235 plants and animals, a new "study" by the United States, Canada and Mexico says.
--Hunting is one of the first things blamed for "threatening animals," but nowhere else in the article is it mentioned, or the claim justified. |

"It is hard to imagine parties more apart than on the issue of gun control and gun ownership."
"Clearly there must be middle ground wide enough to drive a tractor-trailer through, a gap separating law-abiding gun owners from those who would deny them their basic constitutional right of gun ownership."
"Or separating your basic law-abiding gun owner from those who believe they hold an unfettered right to brandish about any kind of weapon anywhere they might please." |

A former Denver police officer convicted of beating his girlfriend is one step closer to getting his job back after a federal judge on Friday made a ruling with national implications.
Officer Alex Woods Jr. wasn't living with his girlfriend at the time of the attack, which makes him exempt from a federal law forbidding anyone convicted of domestic violence from carrying a gun, the judge ruled. |

A 60-year-old man who chased down and shot an intruder to death last month was charged Thursday with manslaughter and a handgun violation.
Michael Clements was not acting in self-defense when he shot 30-year-old Leon Williams Jr. in the back of the left leg, Marion County Prosecutor Scott Newman said.
"If there's an intruder in your house, you can shoot first and ask questions later," Newman said. "But you can't go gunning for them." |

When Kentucky in 1996 passed one of the most liberal concealed-carry laws in the country, there was much debate about the possibility of “vigilante justice.”
Gun-rights advocates disagree, and statistics compiled by the state about crimes committed by concealed-carry permitholders indicate there has not been an increase in vigilante incidents since the law's passage. |

Kristen Rand, legislative director for the Violence Policy Center, said former military weapons turn up in crimes "in fairly significant amounts."
Some weapons can also be "easily converted" to fully automatic machine guns. "The M-1 carbines in particular are easy to convert to full auto,"... People who use such weapons for hunting "should consider the greater good of eliminating them," Rand said. "They represent a real threat to public safety and law enforcement." |

Police departments around Lake County collected 408 guns. Residents who turned in guns were given gift certificates worth $50 at local merchants. |

The robber fled on a motorcycle, and the man left in a tan or gold Ford van without talking to deputies, officials said. Neither was wounded, deputies said.

In all truth, given that this happened in the People's Republic of California, I'm not so sure I'd stick around to talk to the police either. |
