This news story is the follow-up to an article I forwarded a few months ago, the Idaho man whom faced a five year felony "hate-crime" sentence for calling his wife's attacker the "N-word"(1).
Justice in America nolonger applies equally.

Guns seized during a domestic assault investigation are back in the control of a Baldwin man, but he still can't bring them home.
The extensive collection including museum pieces and ready-to-fire machine guns have been placed in control of William Bloomquist's lawyer.
Bloomquist, a licensed gun dealer, is free to resume making a living through the sale of those firearms. Bloomquist said he was holding some of the guns for friends and relatives, and he will be able to return them. |

People who have tried heroin and cocaine or have a drunken driving conviction are no longer automatically disqualified from becoming Virginia state troopers.
"It's the right thing to do in some situations," said Lt. Col. Donald R. Martin, the agency's deputy superintendent.
"I think it would lower the standards," one officer said. "You got to be real careful when you start dealing with hard drugs."
KABA NOTE: And what about "lowering the standards" and not imprisoning *citizens* because of the same "crimes" then? Or are they going to get a choice - jail or a state trooper job (like they used to do for the armed forces)? |

It's range night in Royal Oak for a group of shooting enthusiasts who've each taken advantage of Michigan's recently revised concealed weapons law. Tuesday evening, the occupants of the first four lanes at Target Sports talk caliber, ammunition and concealability. The pros and cons of heft and grip, .40 versus .38 caliber and 9mm versus .32.

An anti-gun group Thursday called on the nation's newspapers to stop accepting classified ads for the sale of all guns. The group, which calls itself the "National Campaign to Close the Newspaper Gun Ad Loophole," consists of several grassroots anti-gun organizations in several states.
The group commended the Chicago Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer for recently changing their policies to reject classified gun ads.

The federal government will ask the Supreme Court of Canada today to give Cabinet absolute power to conceal its documents -- and to place such decisions beyond the scrutiny of any judge.
The government will face a challenge from its own staff lawyers who are seeking a landmark ruling that would give the public access to information about why ministers made certain decisions. |
