ABC News seems to be engaging in electoral campaigning:
"Hergert said the caller said he was "Ed from ABC News" and asked if she would ever consider voting for Al Gore, then said it is unconstitutional for her to be bound by state law to follow Colorado voters' preference for Bush.
"A second Colorado elector, Rob Dieter, also mentioned a call from ABC News when the Denver Rocky Mountain News asked if anyone had tried to influence his vote."
It turns out the caller IS from ABC News. |

"In an address to the Oxford Union, he said the right to carry arms, enshrined in the US Constitution, maintained freedom and actually saved lives.
"He described the UK's anti-gun laws as nothing but "cultural cowardice and a subtle form of surrender to the criminals".
"The actor said those UK laws were the result of an unwritten constitution which gave politicians too much power."
The BBC News put this report in the Entertainment section. |

"Visitors to Arkansas next year will no longer be greeted by signs welcoming them to the "Home of President Bill Clinton."
"Arkansas has 80 state border signs welcoming visitors to Clinton country, with another 18 marking the four towns where he once lived.
"It will cost about $10,000 to take them down."
Arkansas taxpayers shouldn't have to cover this cost. I'm sure there are many who would gladly volunteer! Anyone in Arkansas want to take it on? |

"The current election has demonstrated the necessity for implementing sensible media control laws. No right thinking person can dispute this position. Of course some unprogressive traditionalists, not to mention free speech extremists, will argue that the First Amendment protects the media from restrictions on the basis of free speech guarantees."
Exactly the arguments being used about guns by anti-freedom folks...stood on their head. Very funny! |

In the LA Times, no less:
"In a throwback to another time, the Ojai Valley Gun Club will pay tribute to the turkey shoot this weekend when it hosts a target contest for muzzle-loading guns, with frozen turkeys going to the winners."
"Contestants will shoot at paper targets shaped like buffalo and other range animals."
"More skilled marksmen can try hitting a moving paper turkey, hung on a string so that it flutters in the wind." |

"The sailors on sentry duty aboard the USS Cole when it was bombed last month did not have ammunition in their guns and were not authorized to shoot unless fired upon, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing recent interviews with 20 members of the ship's crew." ~~~ Excuse me, but isn't Yemen a hostile area? Huh? What kind of MORON ordered them not to have ammo? Are they supposed to beat someone up with their gun? Jesus help us. |

One official who actually believes in the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, his peers are urging 'caution' and 'reasonableness' for his horribly controversial and dangerous plan of .... *gasp* .... carrying a handgun on public property...! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
