"A changing concealed-carry bill still puts the gun lobby before law enforcement. That isn't a formula for safety"
"In the Ohio Senate, lawmakers have been maneuvering this week to make more palatable legislation that would dramatically expand the carrying of concealed weapons. This wooing should be resisted. The changes may sound good. They should not obscure the fundamental reason for rejecting the misguided legislation: More people carrying guns means less safety, not more." ...

"The controversial Homeland Security Act was recently approved by the Senate and President Bush. What does this mean for Americans? It means that, if one man deems it necessary, we can all now be forced to receive immunizations -- no personal, religious or medical exemptions allowed -- and refusing to accept them is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Moreover, as it stands the bill protects pharmaceutical companies from potential liability in vaccine-related injury lawsuits." ...

This is a great exploration of so-called "campaign finance reform", using the attacks on NRA to justify the squashed political speech as an example of why McCain-Feingold's legislation was wrong and unAmerican.
-------
"There's a problem in the land, or so said the so-called reformers. Powerful organizations, they told us, are taking over our politics. They are drowning out the voice of the people. Democracy is in peril unless we can reconstitute our campaign finance laws to shut these organizations up when elections draw nigh. Need an example? They had one they loved to trot out — the National Rifle Association." ... |

It is nothing less that open warfare on the American Constitution. Yes I said that: Open warfare. Go to the link if you don't believe me read and see for yourself. |

Guns-For-Sale Limits Set By Denver Dailies
Only Ads By Licensed Gun Dealers Accepted
December 3, 2002
DENVER -- "Firearms will no longer be listed for sale in the classified section of Denver's major newspapers unless offered by licensed gun dealers."
" 'It's a relatively minor change in our policy,' said Jim Nolan, director of communications. 'We wanted to be sure that we provided a safe environment to purchase weaponry in accordance with local, state and federal law.' " ...
"Nolan said Denver Newspaper Agency representatives would ask for copies of a firearm-dealer's license if they have any question about an ad. ... He said complaints have been minimal."
WRITE A QUICK NOTE...
They say complaints have been minimal. And this isn't only the Denver Post; Rocky Mountain News joined them in their anti-gun move. Use the following two email addresses to speak your mind:

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
