This guy, who wasn't even trying to get a gun past security, got it past TWICE. What does this say about terrorists who would be determined to get their guns past security? And the FAA, etc, would like to keep law-abiding citizens unarmed?

A crowd of holiday shoppers was stunned into silence after a .38-caliber handgun went off in the Castleton Square Mall food court about 3:30p.m. Sunday. So was the gun's owner.

"It scared the hell out of me, because I thought somebody was shooting at us," said Charles Whitacre, whose weapon accidentally discharged.

KABA NOTE: What is really pathetic is that this made the news at all. Traffic accidents and near-accidents happen every minute of every day, and nobody thinks twice.

Insecure Security Submitted by: Newslinks Director Website: http://GunControlVictories.com	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
"The proper way to do airport security is brought to us by El Al Airlines. I have flown Israel's national airline many times and have always been impressed with the way they interrogate every passenger. That's right, interrogate... The Bush administration should support the Israelization of American airline security, and it should make it a high priority, no matter what the cost." --Cal Thomas

"schools increasingly demand that students answer nosy questions unrelated to academics. That practice may soon end due to a federal appellate decision issued recently in C.N. v. Ridgewood Board of Education. The Court held against the Ridgewood (N.J.) school district's use of an intrusive questionnaire."

KABA NOTE: Not directly RKBA-related, but definitely GREAT news for our children's rights!

Like thieves in the night, a handful of U.S. senators have set into motion a new law that can steal the property rights from private owners "in the name of protecting wildlife."

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) called for "unanimous consent" to pass S.990 "The American Wildlife Enhancement Act" of 2001. The bill passed.

Who voted for and against this bill? No one will ever know. Was there even a quorum present? No one will ever know.

"How can you possibly understand the actions of the MAJORITY of 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 members of the Senate in passing into law a bill which not ONE member of either house had even seen let alone had time to read and understand? How could they enact into law, a bill of close to 400 pages of text, which they had not only not seen but upon which there had not been even ONE hearing held in EITHER house of Congress?" --Albert V.

Two leading counter-terrorism experts say the attempted bombing of a trans-Atlantic flight by an alleged terrorist with explosives in his shoes proves airport security measures are failing.

"Our security right now at airports is no better than it was on September 10th," according to Dr. Neil Livingstone, chairman and CEO of Global Options, LLC, "because we're doing all of the dumb things and none of the right things."

The Justice Department has set aside plans to offer $750,000 in grant money for DNA testing of convicted criminals to determine whether they are indeed guilty. Instead, the money will be used to help identify victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

--Another example of how We The People are no longer the government. They just take our tax money and spend it however they please. My guess is they are looking for someone specific.

New York City police recruits are failing out of academy classes and being disciplined for violating department rules at twice the rate they were four years ago...And the department has been criticized by the police union and other observers for bending its hiring rules to try to meet recruiting goals.

Some have warned that loosening long- held hiring rules may cause the quality of officers in the department to suffer, with new officers not held to as high a standard as their predecessors.
