"It was a centerpiece of the Democratic convention, but it has become Al Gore's forgotten issue, an issue he omits wherever he campaigns. "What issue?" you ask. For those who do not follow the politics of gun control, it has been easy to miss Al Gore and Joe Lieberman's lack of public support for their positions in favor of more and more restrictive gun legislation. For those of us who do, their silence has been deafening, and the issue was never mentioned during Tuesday's debate." |

"Have you ever asked yourself, ‘what if'? What if we took patriotic speeches from colonial times, that are recited in schools all across America, and updated them to fit current circumstances? What if someone went onto the floor of Congress and delivered such a speech? What if someone recited it in a school today? Let’s try it out, with that in mind, and see how we feel about it?" |

"Brushing off the threat of a lawsuit, Miami-Dade County commissioners voted Tuesday to require gun owners countywide to lock up their firearms if those guns could land in the hands of a child."
"The ordinance will require gun owners to secure weapons in a locked box or with a trigger lock if that weapon is left where a child could retrieve it."
"The law takes effect in 10 days."

NRA and others are fighting it. May the first family to be hurt by the law sue heartily. |

"A federal judge will decide whether state and federal agents violated a resident's constitutional rights when they confiscated his gun collection."
"U.S. District Judge David Lawson is to hear testimony Friday in Bay City over whether state troopers responding to a 911 hang-up call had the right to enter the trailer of Thomas Meixner and his girlfriend without permission."

This could be a bellweather case. Too bad he was a prior felon, or this could be a much bigger deal... |

ISRA: "Mayor Daley, who bills himself as a champion in the fight against gun violence, has remained mysteriously silent regarding his police department's role in funneling guns to street criminals. Equally mysterious is the fact that the CPD has refused to cooperate in a fact-finding effort..." |

"Texas failed to perform full background checks on 407 people who had convictions but were granted licenses for concealed handguns, the Department of Public Safety has acknowledged."
"Seventy-one of those had convictions that should have excluded them from permits..."
=====
It's better for 71 felons to have guns (which they already knew they shouldn't have and were thus violating laws anyway), than for nobody to have them. |

"As many as 150 of the country's richest moguls are coming to Austin for the big Fortune 500 summit this month. With murmurs of protests in addition to the usual security concerns that go with such an event, you're likely to see more edgy-looking guys in suits than when George W. Bush comes to town to pick up his mail."

Interesting read about bodyguarding. |

"THE Government's ability to infuriate those who live in the countryside has long been apparent. With yesterday's proposals for yet tighter regulations on shotguns, it has gone one further, and seems intent on provocation."
===
When you hear something like that in the socialist media from the UK, you KNOW the fit is hitting the shan.

"Let's play let's pretend. Let's pretend that Suzy, an innocent citizen, and Joe, a cop, are forced to deal with the same criminal, Zack."
"Now Zack one night catches Suzy on the way to her car in a parking lot, beats the stew out of her, and rapes her. Now the gun-control crowd absolutely insists that Suzy does not need a handgun in order to deal with Zack. So an unarmed Suzy becomes a victim of Zack..."

Charley Reese nails it again!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
