/U.S. Newswire/ -- "McCain-Lieberman has several drafting flaws that even many anti-gun rights groups recognize," Gottlieb stated. "The bill isn't about background checks at gun shows, it's about bait and switch. As written, McCain-Lieberman invades the privacy rights of gun owners and lays the groundwork for creation of a national gun registration system. It would effectively put legitimate gun shows out of business." |

The Philidelphia Inquirer -- "Now that Republicans control the White House, the nation's capital is a much friendlier place for the National Rifle Association.
[BUT!]
It is unclear whether the administration's initiatives will have a significant impact, because its actions so far affect issues on the margins of the gun debate or because the issues are still in the courts." By Chris Mondics |

When San Francisco and several cities in the state sued gunmakers for allowing weapons to get into the hands of criminals, they figured they had a winning model: a suit against the tobacco industry that had secured them hundreds of millions of dollars.
When it didn't work, It was clearly a setback for the gun control movement, but city officials say it is too early to say they won't be able to repeat their success against the cigarette companies. |

Nearly two months to the day after a Tri-City judge denied a restraining order against her estranged husband, Maria Avila-Lopez was shot to death in the parking lot of her Pasco apartment complex.
In applying for the no-contact order, the 21-year-old woman wrote, "I am very afraid of him because he has told me he'd rather see me dead than with someone else."
Avila-Lopez was shot three times in the chest with a .357-caliber handgun July 28. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
