"There wasn't good cause or enough evidence to fire a Friendswood teacher who has been accused of shooting a gun in her classroom, a state hearing examiner has ruled."
"Kemah resident Norvella Susette Gibson was let go from her job after authorities said she fired a shot into her classroom at Friendswood Junior High School before school started last year on Nov. 30."
"When the incident first happened, Gibson reported that someone had fired three shots into her classroom. Nobody was injured, but the report led to a four-hour lockdown of the campus."
"In March, a Galveston County grand jury indicted the reading and language arts teacher on one count of carrying a weapon where possession is prohibited, a third-degree felony." ...
"Robert J. Thomas, the hearing examiner assigned by the state, said there was a lack of evidence, no investigation by the school district and no thorough police records in the case..."
"Thomas said missing police records, a videotape that showed three students discussing how they disliked Gibson and how they planned to bury the gun used in the incident, and no witness statements taken from students in the classroom all added up to a case based on hearsay." |

"The indictment of nine people on charges of stealing at least 222 pounds of cocaine from the Detroit Police Department's evidence room is the first step in a wider investigation to account for weapons and cash that could be missing from the storage area, Chief Jerry A. Oliver Sr. said Wednesday."
" 'There are whole lockers and vaults of weapons that have to be inventoried and accounted for,' Oliver said. 'I don't know how many guns we have. We have far too many guns,' he said." ... |

"Six people were killed by sniper bullets in the Washington, D.C., area last week, while another two people were wounded – including a 13-year-old boy – but authorities are, so far, stumped as to suspects and motive." ...
"But whether these shootings are the opening rounds of a new homeland-based terror campaign or simply the work of a lunatic – the 'death card sniper,' if you will – it's a safe bet one of the first responses made by our leaders, once they get over the shock of the attacks, will be to stump for more gun control. There is nothing more dangerous to liberty and freedom than a frightened lawmaker. And after decades of trying to breed our survival instinct out of us, it's only natural for millions of Americans to turn to others for protection." ... |

"Richard Waldburg thought he had the ideal part-time job for a college student."
"In a few hours, the public relations major at Georgia Southern University could earn more than other students could in a semester."
"Waldburg, 24, had no trouble buying nine pistols at a Jonesboro pawn shop in February and slipping them into what federal officials call the 'iron pipeline' between the Deep South and the urban streets of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York." ... |

Commentary by John Lott.
-------
"Little has been said about gun control during this campaign. Oh, sure, Gray Davis is running on gun control in California, but in states from Illinois to Michigan to Pennsylvania, where Democrats gubernatorial candidates with strong gun-control records are running, the issue is being played down. Is this a real change of heart or merely a tactical retreat?" ... |

"A Berkeley, Calif., lawyer who has overseen police reforms in 13 cities around the country will lead a team of 20 legal and law-enforcement experts to monitor a sweeping overhaul of Cincinnati's police department." ...
"The [police] monitor's role is a critical one. Dr. Kalmanoff will provide the key oversight of two historic agreements the city made this year in the aftermath of the April 2001 riots, which were sparked by the police shooting death of a fleeing unarmed man in an Over-the-Rhine alley."
"The agreements ended a Justice Department investigation and suspended a federal lawsuit that accused Cincinnati police of racial profiling and decades of discrimination against African-Americans." |

" 'The shootings in Montgomery County are a perfect example of how valuable complete ballistic fingerprinting would be,' said Eric Gorovitz, who tracks gun laws for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. 'It makes sense for every firearm made to be ballistically fingerprinted. It doesn't expose anybody to the specter of tyranny.' "

More evidence of how well gun control works...
...to arm criminals.
-------
"Gunmen fired at unarmed police officers in a Battersea street after drugs were found in a car during a routine spot-check last week."
"The four male officers were patrolling Wandsworth last Friday, October 4, when they stopped two men acting suspiciously in Broughton Street at around 9pm."
"They decided to search their car and discovered a package of drugs. At this point, one of the suspects suddenly produced a gun, firing at the officers as the pair ran off along the street."
"Although the officers were unarmed, they chased the pair through neighbouring streets but they managed to escape minutes later." |

"For weeks, Mayor Street has been touting Operation Safe Streets, his anti-drug program, in neighborhood rallies across the city."
"Yesterday, Street conceded that some of the rosy crime statistics that he's been bragging about at those rallies are false."
"On Wednesday, Street said that drug-related homicides between May 1 when the program started and mid-September had dropped to just nine this year, compared to 51 for the same period last year when there was no Safe Streets initiative." ...
"When the Daily News first asked for supporting data, Keel produced a chart from Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson that showed drug-related homicides between May 1 and Oct. 9 going in the opposite direction - 46 for this year and 45 for last year." |

"Vanessa Pinder said yesterday: 'Of course, I'm not agreeing with [Green]. They're discrediting my son's character, and I'm not going along with that. It just doesn't make sense for him to give them his license and then try to shoot at them.' " ... |

"Innocent Until Proven Guilty"?
-------
"A former police officer who was acquitted in June of charges he had sex with a 13-year-old South Philadelphia girl has filed a federal lawsuit seeking reinstatement to the force."
"Kraig Graham, 22, who was assigned to the 12th Police District in Southwest Philadelphia and had served 18 months on the force before his arrest in December, says his civil rights were violated when he was dismissed while the investigation was ongoing. The suit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia."
"In June, a Philadelphia jury acquitted Graham of charges of statutory sexual assault and corrupting the morals of a minor. The South Philadelphia girl testified that the pair had had sex the previous July or August." ... |

This editorial on WorldNetDaily.com is pushing FOR gun registration -- it comes from Ellen Ratner, who dubs herself "Liberal and Proud".
-------
"No, it's not an exploding volcano or shifting tectonic plates. It's the dreaded SLIPPERY SLOPE!"
"At the bottom of that slope is gun registration and confiscation, taking away everybody's SUVs, limits on CEO compensation, estate taxes, in short, pure, unadulterated fascism. The American Reich. The British are coming!"
"I say, poppycock! Early in the last century, the United States Supreme Court ruled that nobody had the right to yell, 'Fire!' in a crowded movie theater. But somehow, free speech in this country hasn't been affected a bit. As a society, I think we're mature enough to tolerate a few commonsense regulations without turning over the shebang to the Brownshirts." ...
