YES - These are dangerous weapons used for war. There's no reason not to limit sales. In times like these, sales must be limited. NO - We have a right to keep and bear arms. The state shouldn't get in the way. We can't let fear lead us to sacrifice constitutional rights. We'll send your vote to Gov. Ryan.

The "reassuring figure" of a uniformed man with an alsatian at his side... This is a public street but the man is not a public servant; he is not a policeman but a private - albeit "highly-trained" - security guard who keeps this Kensington avenue "free from crime."

The catch is that residents have to pay for the "peace of mind" they now enjoy; the scheme is funded by payments of up to Ł1,000 a year from householders.

"Now, why exactly do you think the police (with federal aid, financing, and encouragement) won't quickly seek to develop technology which will allow an officer knocking on the door ... to use an `electronic master key' to `disable' any `smart guns' in the house -- and then quickly ban the manufacture of any gun that ISN'T a `smart gun' ... all for `the safety of the children,' of course?" - Vin Suprynowicz

The Utah Legislature, "which is so pro-gun it lets people carry concealed weapons into the legislative chamber," may air its perennial debate over gun control before thousands of Olympic visitors this year.

"No one's a bigger gun advocate than me, but I'm very worried we'll start issuing concealed weapons permits on a carte blanche basis," GOP Sen. Bill Hickman said. "They ought to have some proficiency. They ought to know how to handle a gun and know which end a bullet comes out of."

Nashville residents hailed Martin as a hero when he chased and killed a knife-wielding man who had just robbed the woman who operates a flower shop next to his business.

But Davidson County prosecutors decided that Martin was "not justified" in shooting "a homeless man with a drug problem," and are trying to convict him of second-degree "murder".

'I don't deserve this. This can't be the way our government and our justice system are supposed to work,' he says on his site, WaynesDefense.com
