I couldn't believe this when I read it!
Yesterday, we saw the report about gunshot wounds way way down. Now this:
"Jon Vernick, a professor and associate director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research in Baltimore, said it's too early to credit one of any number of credible reasons for the downward trend."
"... factors include tougher sentencing, aggressive policing, the Brady gun control law and various concealed weapons laws, Vernick said." |

ABOUT TIME!!
"The slim, sleekly produced volumes with full-color ads for sneakers and gangsta rappers are aimed at young black men, especially those in prison.
Pages are full of words like "bitch" and "ho," and their heroes hit and kill people almost with impunity.
"But even though they are sponsored in part by successful black actor and producer Wesley Snipes, the new series of black pulp fiction novels has become a subject of boycott and criticism in the African American community." |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
