Straight Talk About 'Assault Weapons'– A 'Survival Guide' to the Expiration of the 1994 Ban is 12-page PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader required) intended for people who are 'on the fence' on the issue of the AWB... in other words, people who are generally not against gun ownership, but who 'draw the line' at these particular guns due to the fact that they have been misled on what the ban actually restricted."
"Last week, I received an e-mail from a site visitor asking, 'what sane, legitimate purpose is there in civil society for the use of assault weapons, which are designed strictly for assaulting enemy troops?'" ... |

"In a maneuver probably designed to force Democratic rape enablers to reveal themselves, the Republican leadership of the U.S. House on Wednesday passed a measure to repeal a District of Columbia self-defense ban which (because it disarmed law-abiding victims while leaving criminals armed) had made that city the nation's murder capital."
"There's a lot of shouting about how this means the District now has no restriction on the carry of firearms, open or concealed, by law-abiding citizens, just as the Founders guaranteed."
"... Actually -- even should the Senate go along and the president sign the measure, which isn't likely this year -- all that would be re-legalized is the use of firearms for self-defense in one's home, a far cry from District residents being 'allowed' to 'keep and bear arms' without 'infringement.'" ... |

... "I'll let the experts explore the Freudian undertones between women and guns, but this male has identified four distinct stages, similar to those found in relationships between men and women. The first stage - fear and revulsion - is followed closely by curiosity and fascination. Third up is infatuation, the unbridled obsession with the physical and emotional exhilaration of shooting, particularly the feeling of empowerment it ignites. What I call the mature stage, the last stage, is marked by the self-confidence, freedom, security and peace of mind common to those who boldly step out of a world of fear, bogeymen, and stereotypes ruled by self-appointed guardians to create their own destiny, form their own opinions and think for themselves." ... |

"A professional hunter in Southern Austria inadvertently performed the longest, most realistic, environmental test on a rifle scope in history. A Kahles (pronounced kah-less) scope, lost in the high mountain region of the Austrian Alps in the late '70s was found recently in technically perfect working condition."

"The case of a veteran RCMP officer who went to jail for killing an unruly prisoner who grabbed at his gun may prompt some policy changes at the force, a Crown prosecutor said yesterday. 'Probably a good change would be that there be a very clear policy for RCMP officers when you're arresting a prisoner, to secure your weapon in a vault or something like that - for the benefit of the prisoner and the police officer,' said Rick Saull."
"He was speaking outside Court of Queen's Bench after a sentencing date was set for RCMP Const. Mike Ferguson. After two previous trials ended with deadlocked juries, a third jury found him guilty Thursday of manslaughter." ...

"It seemed simple enough. Suburban Falls Church, Va., officials recently drafted a policy that would require city workers to call 911 immediately if anyone stepped onto city property carrying a gun. Police who responded would check to see whether the gun was properly licensed and report their findings to city officials."
"With all seven council members and many residents of this little city inside the Capital Beltway firmly in the anti-gun camp, only a few officials expected any problems with the procedures."
"But if the intent was to discourage gun toting in the city, the effort has so far backfired."
"About 30 people, pistols strapped to their hips, strode into the council's meeting this week protesting the policy and warning that it violates their right to bear arms - and possibly state laws, as well." ... |

"The demeaning treatment of Lancer student Blake Douglass by Superintendent Nathan Greenberg and Principal James Elefante attests to their muddle-headedness."
"The controversy stems from a photograph of a smiling Blake leaning with his left elbow on his knee and his right hand holding the barrel of his shotgun, which is broken open at the breach and straddles his right shoulder."
"The photograph was taken professionally to depict Blake proudly expressing himself as a sportsman."

Murray is often joined by her daughter, Linda Rall, and Rall's boyfriend, Windy Skillin, each using a gun to fire at the sheet metal propped up by tires, which serves as their target."
"For the 67-year-old grandmother, target practice is not just a way to relax." ...

"Attorney General Larry Long, in an opinion issued last month, said a series of legislative amendments indicated that the Legislature 'did not intend to require a license or a permit to carry a handgun in a vehicle if any part of the firearm is capable of being seen.' Long said a permit is not required unless the handgun is 'truly concealed' in a vehicle."

Police in Portland collected 93 firearms today in a voluntary hand-in sponsored by doctors and groups opposed to gun violence.
The group Ceasefire Oregon Education Foundation says about an equal number of long-barrel and handguns were turned in.
One man turned in a Chinese SKS assault rifle, saying he feared he could not store it safely and that it might wind up in the wrong hands.
Guns turned into the program are destroyed.
The collection marks the eleventh year the group has collected guns in Portland.

Instead, the anti-gun philosophy has so permeated politics in Illinois that cold-blooded killers can stroll right up to the Capitol with a shotgun, while security guards are expected to perform their duty unarmed.'" ... |
