"Paul Helmke’s Huffington Post book review of 1/9/07 denies care to the innocent."
"Mr. Helmke of The Brady Center reviews a book whose thesis is the old saw that gun violence is a health issue. Knowing a little something about health, I’ll say the treatment stinks."
"The first thing the only-shootings-are-a-health-problem mob forgets is the practice that you treat the patient as a whole."
"In battling only one aspect of all crime – shootings – one cannot just cut into people’s rights, carve up whole healthy, functioning organs, ignore more severe emergencies, amputate healthy parts and still say that one has understanding."
"Understanding is the most significant thing lacking in the left."
"In short, the anti-gun mob misses the diagnosis, and the treatment is pure quackery." ... |

"The Duke's got a bullet with his name on it. Literally."
"To celebrate the 100th birthday of John Wayne this May, his name is being stamped on a new line of bullets from Winchester Ammunition."
"The bullets will fit three famous guns that helped win the West - as well as secure an Oscar for the cowboy star in the film "True Grit" - including the Colt .44 six-shooter, the Colt .45 and the 30-30 Winchester rifle also popularized on TV by the Chuck Connors series 'The Rifleman.'"
"The cartridges, to be shipped later this year, are aimed at the gun collector crowd and its fast-growing contingent of cowboy aficionados, the company said." ... |

"The slight, bespectacled professor claimed that five burly officers pinned him to the ground after Kevin Leonpacher kicked his legs from under him as he hesitated to show his ID."
"He was left 'traumatised and disorientated' and with a gashed forehead as he was taken to the local jail and charged with pedestrian failure to obey a police officer and physical obstruction of police." ... |

"Re the Dec. 27 commentary, 'Too many weapons: Control guns to stop the tide of death,' by John D. Kelly IV:"
"Dr. Kelly obviously is committed to the medical profession. However, his negative position on firearms ownership is an emotional response that avoids the true factors in violent acts."
"He blames availability of guns and concealed-carry permits as the cause of 380 homicides in Philadelphia in 2005, noting that 208 of these deaths were over disputes."
"Dr. Kelly seems to purport that holding individuals accountable for their actions is unrealistic, and, therefore, that eliminating the rights in the Second Amendment is the only plausible solution to violent crime." ... |

Is he aware that far more accidental injuries are caused by backyard pools, footballs, the items we keep under our kitchen sinks and bicycles? ..." ... |

... "This is the all-familiar Second Amendment. ... When the U.S. Constitution was adopted, each state had its own well-regulated-militia in which its associates were held accountable to an assorted set of requirements. This was meant to say that it was a constitutional right for militias to have possession of a weapon for self-defense without being told otherwise. Unfortunately, people eventually took advantage of this right and started carrying weapons and saying that the Second Amendment gave them the OK. Because the population of these horrific people is growing constantly, it's hard to trust anyone with the right to keep and bear arms." ...

Submitter's Note: So if you believe the Second Amendment protects an individual right, you are a 'horrific' person. |
