Two Denver Democrats, Sen. Doug Linkhart and Rep. Peter Groff, introduced SB225 to make it illegal to sell a handgun to anyone under 21. "The loophole that we haven't closed is that 18-year-olds can still get guns," Linkhart said.

But Dudley Brown, Exec. Dir. of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (www.RMGO.org), understands what they are doing: "They're using the dead bodies of children to advance the gun-control agenda."

"Why are lawmakers adopting punitive approaches to a nonexistent crisis? Because despite the facts, the public largely believes that youth and school violence are on the rise. ... Who is responsible for the public's erroneous belief that school shooters lurk everywhere? In part, the media. ... Though crime dropped 20% nationally from 1990-98, network coverage of crime increased 83% during that period. ... But there is another, less likely, culprit: handgun control advocates."

"Federal drug task force officers have seized $640,000 in Albuquerque from a woman who reportedly acted nervous on an Amtrak train. ... The money was kept as agents investigate whether it is involved in drug trafficking. Ames was not arrested, and as of Thursday she had not been charged."

~~(I don't know about you but I'd sure act nervous around strangers if I had that much cash on me.)

KABA NOTE: The article doesn't mention if the woman is upset about having her money stolen.

"It may be under attack, but there still is a public school system. You not only have the right but the responsibility to be involved in what's going on." --Steve Otto

KABA NOTE: The children are our future. We cannot refuse to take responsibility for the children today and expect tomorrow to turn out the way we'd like. And if that doesn't inspire you, think of this: YOUR hard-earned money is what is funding the public schools. Isn't it about time to demand a say-so in what goes on there?

A new Gallup Poll has been released upon the subject of school violence, to include the role of guns. When asked what the single most important thing is that can be done to prevent school shootings, surprisingly, family and school issues are listed above more gun control. Perhaps we have finally turned the corner on this issue and people are starting to look at the core issues, instead of just automatically blaming guns as a knee-jerk response.

Don't just enact laws, enforce them Submitted by: Ken Bach Website: http://www.uiuc.edu/ro/ipw	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
"The gun control groups that spend so much time lobbying for new laws might be advised to devote resources to identifying law enforcement authorities who are not enforcing current law and shine the spotlight on them. No prosecutor wants to run for re-election with a reputation of being soft on gun crime." ~~They shouldn't be soft on ANY violent crimes.

"Americans are sheep! We make a lot of noise about how we are going to stand up and protect our second amendment rights, but when it comes down to it, we will, as did the Australians, English and Canadians, surrender our weapons to those in power."--Darrel Mulloy ~~He's got a point. Many talk the talk, but all too few walk the walk.
