"A rise in serious crimes, as well as a series of incidents this year in which police officers have been killed in the line of duty, have prompted the NPA to issue guidelines that better define the circumstances in which a firearm may be used," agency officials said.

McGreevey was the endorsed candidate (for Governor) of the Teachers' Union.
Coupled with gun control and abortion rights, McGreevey used the issue of education to portray Schundler as being out of touch with the state's mainstream values.
--And as we know, McGreevey is anti-gun. So what does that say about the "teachers' union"? |

This means that America's defenders must fight a two-front war: a military war against Islamic terrorists (and their sponsor states) and an intellectual war against the cackling clerics of our universities." --C. Bradley Thompson |
