Only 100 complaints??!! You people are obviously not trying or they are lying.

Remember that as far as the UN is concerned anyone not working for the gov. is the wrong person to have a gun.

"Durban's R10-million metro police video surveillance system has caught out a rogue metro cop -- nearly three years after he attacked a handcuffed suspect for no apparent reason."

"This week the Mail & Guardian was given a copy of a police videotape that clearly shows an obviously defenceless suspect being struck on the head with a shotgun and then kicked with a well-aimed boot to his midriff."

Sounds like some of the cops in Prince George's County, Maryland.

The cure? Sturdy rope.

"Two Westminster men have won guns because their names were pulled during a Carroll County Republican Central Committee raffle drawing."

"The committee raffled a semi-automatic shotgun and a 9 mm pistol Wednesday morning, without any protests from those opposing the second annual raffle."

The winner said he "bought the tickets because he's a supporter of the Second Amendment."

U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett , R-Md., said, ""This is not about guns...It's about rights."

Right.

Describing the attack on legitimate trade in personal property with phrases like "a little-noticed industry that can legally sell machine guns, assault weapons and explosives out of homes," the next "loophole" for the anti-rights bigots is emerging.

The gun control crowd is now seeking "legislation that would bar the sale of most firearms in residential zones."

What will they call it? The "Home Sales Loophole"?

To prevent similar accidents from occurring, Scott introduced a measure that would require handgun buyers to pass a written test and demonstrate before a certified instructor that they can safely handle and fire their weapon."

Nathan Pailin, was too scared to undergo surgery, said his attorney. She argued that a court order violated her client's 4th Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure. The order could not be enforced because at least 2 hospitals, fearing lawsuits, refused to perform the surgery without Pailin's consent. Lacking other hard evidence, the judge acquitted Pailin of robbery, aggravated assault and a weapons offense.

~An interesting perspective on getting a concealed carry permit, by Laura Berman of The Detroit News, especially her #10:

"Once you get that long-awaited permit ... you might want to stay low-key about the whole gun thing. As one fellow permit applicant warned, if you brag about firearms and then get into any sort of trouble, prosecutors might then try to portray you in court as a "gun nut." So, shhhhh."

"If you want a handgun of your own, you no longer have to explain to a county gun board why you need one. ... Lawmakers expressly included a school grounds provision, so parents don't have to disarm themselves before dropping off their kids or picking them up. Considerate, huh? The Legislature's wacky idea of a Christmas present -- more handguns for more people -- goes into effect today." -By Laura Berman of The Detroit News

Colorado to "Map" faces of motorists

Another little "up yours" for the Fourth of July. As some of us celebrate our freedom, and others mourn its demise, comes another nail in the coffin. Now Colorado is spending an amount it refuses to disclose to "map" every licensed drivers face to look for those attempting to get multiple licenses. At least some are thinking ahead to other privacy-destroying uses. Are there enough patriots left in Co. to stop this, or is already too late? Makes me wanna puke.

The UN is investigating whether irate letters and emails from American gunowners constitute a security threat. The "world body" received about 100 complaints from Americans who "erroneously" believe the conference seeks to infringe on their right to bear arms.

The gun-rights enthusiasts did not threaten physical harm to any UN official, but their protests were strongly worded and were turned over to UN security experts. "What concerned me was that there was a widespread campaign," UN Undersecretary-General for Disarmament, Jayantha Dhanapala said. "It's essentially a U.S.-based phenomenon."
