"If you own a gun, they want your name in a computerized federal database -- profiling you on the basis of mere ownership of a firearm. And, they want to paint you as unpatriotic for not surrendering your Second Amendment freedom." by Wayne LaPierre (NRA) |

When it comes to the public's right to know, a statewide survey suggests a number of Mississippi sheriffs' departments are either ignorant of the law or have chosen to ignore it.
Of the 36 counties covered in a survey organized by The Associated Press, fewer than half fully complied when volunteers asked to see jail dockets and an arrest record -- both public under a 1983 state law. |

Stored away inside Dallas police headquarters is a collection of artifacts that is small by any museum's standards: a few old badges, vintage photographs of steely eyed lawmen with handlebar mustaches and a stiff blue uniform worn by one of the department's first female officers.
One item...is right out of the old West. The nickel-plated, pearl-handled Colt .45 was carried in the early 1900s by Police Chief William "Elmo" Strait... |

An attempt by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to force the Daisy Manufacturing Company to recall 7.5 million of its popular BB guns appears to be a sorry example of politics as usual.
On Oct. 30, the Commission voted 2 to 1 to file an administrative lawsuit against Daisy. Chairman Ann Brown, a Clinton-administration appointee, engineered the move just weeks before resigning her post... |

"Any non-uniformed citizen accused of killing an unarmed person by mistake would be likely to lose his gun and his job, and run up considerable legal bills trying to justify his actions -- at the very least. Should the standards be set any lower for government officers supposedly trained, evaluated, and selected for their ability to avoid just such outcomes?" --Vin Suprynowicz |

NSSF plans to begin marketing a videotape, intended to be shown in classrooms around the country.
The 15-minute video, "It's Your Call: Playing It Safe Around Guns," is meant to show young people what to do if a friend takes a handgun to school or handles one in their presence.
The video uses young actors to make its point, but at the end it also includes a message from a young boy in a wheelchair who was accidentally shot by a friend in real life while showing off his father's pistol.

"A Dec. 24 guest column by...Americans for Gun Safety pointed out three cases where "terrorists" obtained firearms at gun shows, and urged the governor and legislature to plug the Indiana gun show "loophole."
Americans for Gun Safety is funded solely by Internet billionaire Andy McKelvey -- a former board member of Handgun Control, Inc. If these three cases are so critical that they demand change, a close look at the facts of each might be instructive..." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
