"The two would-be robbers, one of whom police say carried a .380-caliber automatic handgun, ordered the man to get down on the floor. He instead decided to fight back, biting one of the suspects on the hand until the other suspect pistol-whipped him a number of times. The victim sustained injuries to his head and eye socket."
------- Maybe, had the victim had access to a firearm, he would have been able to defend himself with more than just his teeth. |

"...if there is a disagreement in the lower courts over such a crucial constitutional matter, there's good reason for the high court to intervene and settle the dispute with a definitive opinion on the Second Amendment."
"Gun-rights supporters should welcome such a move, or at the very least a renewed debate on the issue, as history and logic are against the Ninth Circuit's reasoning. But then, that's to be expected, as the Ninth is by far the most-reversed appeals court in the country..." |

"While burglars retain their liberty, speaking your mind can put you in jail."
"For invading someone’s home, relieving them of their property and leaving them in terror the judicially approved penalty is now a little light litter collection and a pep talk with a probation officer."
"Perhaps one should not be so flippant. There is, after all, a tough side to community sentences. What they mean is that while convicted burglars remain at liberty whole communities are sentenced to live in fear. And if they want to see law-breakers removed from their areas and punished in accordance with traditional justice? Well, that’s tough." ... |

"So, why the devil would any American accept any edict by Bush concerning a disease that essentially died out, that is NOT highly contagious, and that is NOT nearly as deadly as the government and its vaccines. Besides, we know that 'voluntary' used by the government means 'mandatory,' if not immediately, then soon after. The frauds of income tax, property tax, and all regulations concerning our autos, trucks, licensing, and travel bear this out as truth." |
