"Scores of criminal defendants around the nation have asked federal courts to dismiss gun charges against them based on the Justice Department's recently revised position on the scope of the Second Amendment."
"The new position, that the Constitution broadly protects the rights of individuals to own guns, replaced the view, endorsed by the great majority of courts, that the amendment protects a collective right of the states to maintain militias."
"While the challenges have been rejected by trial court judges, based largely on appeals court precedent, supporters and opponents of broad antigun laws say the arguments have forced the Justice Department to take contradictory stances." |

"The use of guns is another increasing concern to the National Criminal Investigation Service, which has published a report into the threat from serious and organised criminals."
"The gun culture of places such as Jamaica being transferred to the UK has also led to calls for changes in the law which could clamp down on replica guns and result in stiffer sentences for possessing firearms."
CONSIDER... This report also includes a picture of a large quantity of heroin -- THIRTY TONS! -- that was confiscated by the authorities. If this nation can't manage to keep that large a shipment of banned drugs out of their socialist nest, how can anyone believe they can effectively prevent firearms from getting in? |

"Ulmer's long-barrel .44-caliber Magnum revolver is a shade big to slip beneath a suit jacket or stash in a handbag. So the lieutenant governor and Democrat candidate for governor is shopping for a gun."
"Republican gubernatorial candidate Wayne Ross, who also has a concealed weapons permit, dismissed Ulmer's gun shopping as posturing for the press. Ross is a zealous gun-rights advocate and a board member of the National Rifle Association."

"A shooter was struck in the arm by a brass bullet casing when his weapon misfired..."
Another report in today's Newslinks gives a different description, which suggests more injury -- but if this is all this news reporter had to go on, why is this a headline issue? |

"A brief cease-fire also was called after one participant was injured when an MG-42 round exploded outside its chamber. The brass shell lodged deep in the biceps of Jim Wilkinson, came to the expo from Connecticut."
"I've been shot before, when I was younger. It's no big deal," Wilkinson said as he walked to the ambulance with a smile.
"It's equivalent to a smashed thumb," Sturk said. "People like to blow it all out of proportion 'cause it happened with a gun." |

Some idiot down in Florida allegedly "shot up a Riviera Beach apartment complex Saturday with an AK-47 assault rifle."
Or, as this report describes the rifle: "a weapon so powerful its bullets can punch through concrete."
A single shot .22 short can punch through concrete, too -- a sixteenth-of-an-inch thick slab is no match for that much incredibly lethal and alarming dangerous firepower. And just imagine how many of those Concrete Assault Weapons we own.
Now that the secret is out, no concrete will ever be safe again. |

With all of the talk about giving 8 or 9 million illegal Mexican "immigrants" citizenship -- while legal immigrants go through the legal citizenship process like, well, legal immigrants -- perhaps it's a good idea to start looking at some of who we're talking about more closely.
It's been reported -- here and elsewhere -- that many, many illegal Mexican "immigrants" are felons in their own third world country. Here's a snapshot of one of our future "citizens" if some legislators have their way. Read between the lines and relate what situations like this will do to the right to keep and bear arms if allowed to fester. ...

"Superior Police have 'no clue' what the alleged drug dealer’s name is, but they arrested him and booked him into the Pinal County Jail last week on a long list of felony charges."
"According to police, on Saturday, July 6, a witness reported that a Hispanic man who was driving a blue Ford Crown Victoria pointed a gun at a man and a boy who were walking down Stone Avenue."
"The car was located at a residence in the 500 block of Ray Road. The suspect, a Mexican national from Sinaloa, attempted to flee through a rear door, but was caught and subdued by an officer stationed outside." |

"An ARMED robber shoved a handgun into the faces of two staff in a raid on a late-night convenience store."
"Witnesses then reported hearing a gunshot as the raider fled the store after stealing cash from the tills."
Said the unarmed peasant-victim the reporter calls a "Security Guard":
"He just seemed to run into the shop from nowhere. It was just me and a female shop assistant working - we were terrified. He leant over the counter, shoving the gun to our faces, forcing us against the wall. He asked for the money from the tills. We just did what he said."
Didn't anti-rights communist Hollyweird actor Alec Baldwin tell us he was going to live in the UK if Bush won the Presidency? Maybe he can protect these serfs. |
