" 'If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal,' Circuit Judge Andrew Kleinfeld wrote. 'The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser.' "
"Donald E.J. Kilmer of San Jose, the plaintiffs' attorney, said Monday he had not yet consulted his clients on whether to pursue their First Amendment claim in the trial court, or to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review their Second Amendment claim." ...

"The mothers of two teenagers who were gunned-down east of Albuquerque nearly five hears ago are joining a lawsuit against the United States Attorney General in an attempt to close an assault weapon loophole."
"Matthew Hunt and Kevin Shirley, both 17, and Luis Garcia, 16, were all shot numerous times with an AK-47 assault rifle on May 29, 1999, on a road in the East Mountain of Sandia Knolls."
"No suspects have ever been identified in the killings." ...

"The Ninth Circuit was asked for an en banc rehearing of the Nordyke case, which challenged a county ban on guns on county property on Second Amendment grounds. While we lost the battle to have the case reheard, you can read the arguments of those who supported rehearing here--and wow! How the world has changed in the last thirty years! Federal judges making the argument that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms--and not to go hunting, or even for individual self-defense--but to keep the government afraid of the people. ..." |

"The collective rights view is certainly the dominant view in the court of appeals -- only the Fifth Circuit has endorsed the individual rights view. Still, is enheartening to see quite a few circuit judges in various circuits reaffirming that view; it makes the odds a little better (though still impossible to calculate) should the Supreme Court get the issue in the next few years, likely as to the challenges to the D.C. gun ban. In close cases, Justices are indeed influenced by what they see as the mainstream of judicial opinion. If it had looked like all judges except two on the Fifth Circuit endorsed the collective rights view, some of the Justices would have probably taken the individual rights view less seriously. But if many respected dissenting judges, both liberal and conservative, in various circuits endorse the individual rights view, at least some Justices are more likely to be open to it, even if the circuit bottom-line scorecard still reads 8-1 or something along those lines. ..." |

From the University of Georgia website:
"Under Georgia Code Section 16-11-127.1(b), weapons are not allowed on the University of Georgia Campus. Weapons include, but are not limited to, any gun, shotgun or rifle, certain knives including any knife having a blade more than 2 inches in length or any discs having at least two points or pointed blades (throwing stars), any flailing instruments, straight edge razor, bludgeon type weapon, stun gun or taser. This law does not prohibit the possession by non-students of any device that is legal to possess, provided it is kept in a locked compartment of a motor vehicle, or a locked container or locked firearms rack within a motor vehicle. The possession of a valid firearms permit, or a valid license to carry a concealed weapon, does not exempt a person from the provisions of this law. Students are not permitted to possess anything what would be considered a weapon under this statute on school property."
The students will continue being scared, disarmed and vulnerable. And lighting will not solve the problem. |

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Election day commissioners and poll watchers wouldn't be able to carry a gun to the polls, under a bill approved Monday by the Senate in an attempt to stop intimidation of voters trying to cast their ballots.
"There's no reason I can think of why a poll watcher would need a weapon at his side," said Sen. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge, the bill's sponsor.
A violation could carry up to a five-year prison sentence and $1,000 fine. The bill, approved 25-11 in the Senate, moves next to the House for debate.
The bill is filed as Senate Bill 229 and can be found at http://www.legis.state.la.us. |

The Washougal Police Department demoted Sergeant Robert Ritchie to officer for using excessive force.
Chief Robert Garwood says Ritchie used poor judgment in using a Taser to stun a woman he had contacted over a dog complaint.
In the incident in August, the woman complained that Ritchie used the stun gun on her 27 times, leaving red marks on her body from the shocks.
The woman speaks little English and had asked for an interpreter.
Police say Ritchie arrested her when she refused to sign a citation for the dog violation.
She is awaiting trial in District Court on charges of resisting arresting, obstructing a police officer and failing to control her dog.
Ritchie has been with the department nearly 20 years. |

"The San Diego Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team's 2004 report spotlights an unacceptable degree of systemic malfunction."
"For instance, federal and state laws require that domestic abusers who own firearms must surrender them. These laws apply not only to those who have been convicted of assaulting their partners, but also to those who have been served with temporary restraining orders."
"The problem is, there is no uniform procedure in place in San Diego to ensure that these sensible laws are enforced. That's particularly frustrating for Deputy District Attorney Patrick McGrath, who co-chairs the review team and has eight years of experience working domestic violence cases. 'A guy who broke his wife's nose,' he notes, 'is not a good candidate to own a gun.' McGrath's understatement is underscored by the fact that, between 1997 and 2003, firearms accounted for 44 percent of the county's 61 domestic violence-related fatalities." |
