Remember how Spielberg digitally "removed" the guns from the hands of the feds and replaced them with phones so as to not offend little Ms. Barrymore.
Turns out ET is flopping around the world like a bigtime fish in the bottom of the boat... and I do mean the bottom. |

"Great idea. So, as long as we're calling for new taxes on things we don't like under the pretense that the tax makes sense because of government costs incurred by a minority of practitioners, why stop there?" |

Woman sentenced to prison for buying guns for her husband.
Yes, that's illegal. But...
"In a statement made before sentencing, Pierre said his previous conviction may have made it illegal for him to have a firearm, but his wife did nothing wrong. 'Even though she is married to a prohibited person it does not take away my wife's Second Amendment right,' Pierre said. 'There was no intention to unlawfully use or possess a firearm.'" |

In every case cited ("State fails to disarm domestic abusers," March 24), there is a possibility that, had the woman been trained to use a gun and armed, she would have survived." |

(Headline: "Wrong checks are in the IRS mail")
"Typically, totalitarian governments issue thousands of new laws and regulations encompassing almost all human activity, many of which are so vague and complex no one could possibly know whether they are guilty of something. Thus, prosecutors can target almost anyone and find him or her guilty of breaking the law. The rule of law, like all other attributes of a civil society, is thereby destroyed." |

Saf-T-Lok, the company that makes trigger locks for handguns has been accused in a shareholder lawsuit of artificially inflating the company's stock price.
In particular, the suit alleges that Saf-T-Lok told investors the company would market its products directly to retail customers, but neglected to mention that the company's marketing opportunity was limited because a catalog retailer had already obtained Saf T Lok's patented products at a discount and was selling at very low prices. |

Yes - "With the number of deaths and injuries from guns escalating, we are entering a public health crisis of epidemic proportions. This is a viable solution to the problem."
NO - "It's wrong to perpetuate misguided beliefs through needless legislation. Most gun purchases don't involve discharge of a firearm. It's unfair to hold all gun owners responsible for the acts of a few."

Looks like Kofi's taking some cues from Jesse Jackson. No payola, no peace. This is the new world order.
Before it was "support us or we'll go communist," then the commies failed. Then it was "you're causing the oceans to rise, you owe us," but Kyoto fell on its face.
Now they've got something to sell again: their cooperation in the "war on terror". |

"First, gun ownership is constitutional, but I strongly assert the peoples’ right, through government, to limit use and ownership of firearms. The courts totally agree. ... Anyone who wishes to own a firearm should be licensed as to how to operate it, just as we require of people operating an automobile. This license is not to own a firearm, but to operate one safely, legally." - Raoul Lowery Contreras |
