The man who illegally bought the gun that was used in the 1998 fatal shooting of Chicago Police Officer Michael Ceriale was sentenced Wednesday to 25 months in prison.
Ezra Evans, 29, of Chicago could have faced a stiffer prison term, but his cooperation was critical in prosecutors' case against James Jackson, the high-ranking Gangster Disciples leader to whom he sold nine guns, including the one used to kill Ceriale, said Assistant U.S. Atty. Sean Berkowitz. |

The Democratic-dominated Elgin City Council, aiming to implement a new gun-control policy, is using possibly unconstitutional tactics to target and shut-down a local gun store.
Schock and the city's police chief claim that the ordinance targeting the B&L Rod & Gun Shop was crafted in response to a death. -- But a lawsuit filed under FOIA revealed that the ordinance was under consideration a month before the death occurred. |

More than 400 gun-rights supporters crowded the Missouri Capitol Rotunda this morning for a rally celebrating Missouri's firearms heritage.
More than three dozen legislators, including House Speaker Jim Kreider (D-Nixa), were introduced throughout the rally as a way to demonstrate bipartisan support for pro-gun legislation and issues. Kreider said he "fiercely" believes in the rights on which the nation was founded, "especially the right to keep and bear arms." |

"My Constitution is a very flexible Constitution. It may well be stupid, but if it's stupid, pass a law! Don't think the originalist interpretation constrains you. To the contrary. You want a right to abortion? Create it the way all rights are created in a democracy, pass a law. The death penalty? Pass a law. That's flexibility." --Justice Scalia |

Otero County Sheriff John Lee is seeking a formal apology from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) for not notifying his office of a gun raid it led in Otero County. Sheriff Lee says ATF agents had been in contact with his office over the course of the investigation into alleged illegal gun sales in the La Luz area, but said he was not notified of last week's raid because the ATF considers him 'anti-government'. |

Emboldened by signals that Governor Gray Davis has lifted his 'cease-fire' on gun-control legislation, lawmakers yesterday pressed forward with two bills: (1) to license handgun buyers, and (2) to ban sales of firearms in residential neighborhoods.
The [so-called] 'Public Safety' Committee approved both measures on strict party-line votes, with 5 Democrats in favor and 2 Republicans casting no votes. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
