The nation’s deadliest mass shooting has temporarily delayed Michigan Republican lawmakers’ plans to scrap concealed pistol training requirements and expand gun access, but top GOP leaders say the fight isn’t over.
Concealed carry permits need to be eliminated because they amount to an unfair “coat tax” costing legal gun owners money when a gun is hidden but not when it’s carried openly, Republican proponents say. But most Democrats and some Republicans say the plan risks more gun violence by not only ending concealed weapon permits, but removing currently required safety training.

Texas hunters can expect another good quail and duck season as hunting began Saturday, Oct. 28. Parks Rangers at Twin Buttes Reservoir and San Angelo State Park are reporting sightings of large coveys of quail and say the marshy regions of both reservoirs are beginning to attract migrating ducks. Quail did not have a particularly good nesting season in the spring because of the lack rainfall across much of Texas, especially in the Western regions around San Angelo and the immediate area.

Should doctors ask patients if they own guns? The American College of Physicians says, yes, it’s a public health issue. But others say that’s a privacy violation. Dr. Comilla Sasson is an emergency physician at the Denver VA Medical Center. While assessing her patients, she’ll ask them about their mental health, and about their access to guns. “It’s very important to know do you have access to guns at home? Do you have firearms? Are they in a safe? Are they locked up if you have children around you? So it really just becomes part of our past medical history,” Dr. Sasson said. |

Days after the government released thousands of pages related to the investigation of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a surprising number of Americans still believe that he was the victim of a conspiracy, according to a new Rasmussen survey released Monday.
At a time when the nation has just seen a former Donald Trump campaign manager indicted, there is growing concern over North Korea and Hollywood seems to be falling apart at the seams with an avalanche of bad news about sexual harassment, the public still wonders about that fateful day in Dallas on Nov. 22. |

One of the nation ‘s leading gun rights organizations on Monday leveled its sights on the San Francisco 49ers football team for pledging $500,000 to gun control efforts, including a ban on so-called “bump stocks” and firearm suppressors, declaring that the team is “definitely off sides.” Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, announced that “We’re throwing a flag on this play.” “After weeks of protests at various NFL games that have seen players disrespect the National Anthem,” Gottlieb said in a statement, “resulting in sliding television ratings and fan disapproval, giving a half-million dollars to people who attack gun rights is worse than a clipping penalty. |

At the end of the latest legislation session Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a bill removing mandatory enhanced sentencing for criminals who use guns in the commission of their crimes. He did this at the same time that he signed other legislation making it illegal for teachers to be armed on K-12 campuses for self-defense. Liberal logic–teachers are not allowed to shoot back if under attack and criminals face no mandatory sentence enhancement for using a gun in carrying out an attack. |

In the days after the Oct. 1 mass shooting, the National Rifle Association and its puppets in Congress gave the impression they were finally ready to consider reasonable steps to reduce gun violence. We should have known they were only throwing up a smokescreen. Now comes news that Congress is pushing an ugly piece of legislation known as the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would essentially rob states like Nevada of the ability to decide who should and shouldn’t be allowed to carry a concealed weapon within our state lines. |

This compares to 6,051 hunters and 9.1 percent rate of hunters with game at check stations last year through the second weekend of the general season.

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
