"A string of other amendments would be no surprise because the anti-gun crowd is desperately trying to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat."
"The biggest victory for our foes – and the biggest defeat for gun rights – would be reenactment of the Clinton Gun Ban, which Sen. Feinstein is determined to achieve."
"If the ban on 'assault weapons' is attached to S. 659 in the Senate, and can't be stopped in the House, NRA-ILA will kill the bill – I'm told, because 'as important as industry protection is, it's not worth letting the ban continue.' Amen!" |

"Schwarzenegger made few policy pronouncements, though he did vow to work with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to reauthorize a federal assault weapons ban." ...
-------
Strange that some self-pronounced politics "insiders" were claiming that Arnold was a "stealth" pro-gun candidate. Nothing stealthy about banning guns from law abiding citizens based on cosmetic features. |

"Many in the gun owning, civil rights community are feeling rather confident right now that the misguided 1994 legislation will expire."
"I do NOT share that confidence. Here is why."
"What most seem to have missed during the current debate is that the House did NOT pass an AW Ban BILL in 1994. The STAND-ALONE Assault Weapon Ban bill debated in the House was not enacted into law. So how did we get the ban?"
"It was attached as an AMENDMENT to that federal beast that gobbles up huge chunks of our money and liberty... the OMNIBUS BILL. In 1994 it was the OMNIBUS CRIME BILL." |

Original title: Amazing the hurt that spit can inflict
"In Temple Terrace, three women and seven men practice shattering ankles and smashing testicles. Then, for good measure, they whip out knives."
" 'There's one cure for violence and that is what?' barks David Overstreet, their leader."
" 'More violence,' they shout."
"Overstreet, 42, nods approval."
"Weeknights, he [Overstreet] teaches haganah, a martial art born of Israeli commandos."
"Haganah - the Hebrew word for 'defense' - is self-defense that carries a grudge, self-defense on steroids, dirty and below the belt, with elbows in throats, fingers in eyes and shins in groins, aggressive and predatory."
-------
Meanwhile the vast majority of assailants flee at the mere sight of an armed victim. |

"Many Democratic Party leaders blame Al Gore's tough stance on gun control for his loss of a few key states in the 2000 presidential race. To avoid a repeat in 2004, some candidates are avoiding the party's long-held view that non-hunting guns need more control." ...
"No doubt any candidate who differs with the views of the National Rifle Association must think twice about supporting various gun-control measures before Congress." ...
"Top Democratic candidates, however, risk losing support from blacks and other elements of their liberal base by evading the party's past commitments to reducing violent crime through gun-control measures that don't constrain hunting." |

"Sen. John Kerry charged that Democratic presidential rival Howard Dean has a history of pandering to the gun lobby by opposing a ban on assault weapons."
"Mr. Dean said Mr. Kerry was distorting positions he took while running for governor of Vermont."
"On Friday Mr. Kerry, campaigning in central Iowa, passed around National Rifle Association questionnaires that his rival had filled out in 1992 and 1994 as evidence. Mr. Kerry said that Mr. Dean used those questionnaires to get the backing of the powerful NRA while Congress was trying to pass the assault weapons ban." |

"A man described by authorities as a known sexual predator was chased through the streets of South Philadelphia by an angry crowd of Catholic high school girls, who kicked and punched him after he was tackled by neighbors, police said Friday."
"Rudy Susanto, 25, who had exposed himself to teen-age girls on as many as seven occasions outside St. Maria Goretti School, struck again on Thursday just as students were being dismissed, police said."
-------
The issue of self defense in this case is very interesting. St. Maria Goretti was a twelve-year-old girl who refused a twenty-year-old pervert's sexual demands, because she had a high regard for her chastity. The pervert got angry and stabbed her to death. She forgave her attacker before she died. These girls certainly didn't consider it a virtue to forgive, but rather took their safety into their own hands. |

"The chief of the Capitol Hill police says his security personnel will take cues from airport security screeners and sacrifice speed to slower passage through X-ray machine posts."
"Lines to enter the Capitol complex will likely move more slowly as police try to avoid repetition of a scare over a toy gun that made it through security and into a House office building." |

"Guns in the house -- any house -- present a mighty temptation to youngsters. Simply put, if they are available, no matter how many stern admonitions to 'don't touch them' have been offered or how much instruction in gun safety has been provided, they present a real and present danger." ...
"The proper way to address this matter does not lie in the stereotypical liberal's anti-Second Amendment outlook of 'no guns.' Instead, it comes from a combination of proper emphasis on gun safety, stressing proper gun handling and in ensuring that guns kept at home are safe and secure." |
