"In 1994, Jones, then 19, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. But thanks to a Virginia Supreme Court decision last year, a new judge ruled that Jones, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was entitled to a new trial because his father was never notified by authorities of his son's arrest."
~~~
And he's about to be let free.

Thomas Jefferson's Response:
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks." |

Kill a cat for being a cat, why doncha? :-) Seriously... that cat wouldn't have had a chance against my .45 and this nasty hunting knife of mine. I might be scratched up a bit, but I'd have me a stuffed cat on my wall. |

"In the last few days, newspapers and television news programs have highlighted disgruntled firearms owners who say they will thumb their noses at Canada's Firearms Act."
"Then, on Monday, a man reportedly disgruntled over the federal firearms legislation, was arrested outside Calgary's City Hall, waving an antique shotgun around."
"What these Einsteins don't apparently understand is that such lawless and erratic behaviour backfires on their cause."

She's partially right. |

CANADA: "A Burritts Rapids general store was the target for a pair of armed robbers last night. Two men, one armed with a handgun, the other with a knife, and both sporting black balaclavas, entered the store shortly after 7 p.m."
~~~~~~
Sounds like Canada's handgun prohibition is working as well as America's cocaine prohibition. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
