Attorney General Bill Lockyer yesterday publicly banned a handgun that failed new state safety tests. The move was the first of its kind under a new law designed to curb the availability of cheap handguns. The action probably would have remained confidential, however, if Lockyer had not suspected the company attempted to rig its tests.
--So they say... Don't you feel "safer" already? |

Tucker declined to discuss the substance of the conversations, first in a meeting with Ashcroft and his senior staff, and then in a private session on classified issues. |

President Bush's says that states should get federal money for enforcing tough disciplinary rules, & there should be funds for character education. "We must face up to the plague of school violence, with an average of 3 million crimes committed against students & teachers inside public schools every year."
But the 'plague' is more myth than reality. Despite what many believe --partly because of statements by national leaders-- schools are among the safest places for children to be. |

"There is clearly no threat to hunters' rights that I can see," Wieneke said. "Hunting is a privilege, just like driving a car, not a legal right."
--I can't believe he actually said that. I mean, this is just stupid. Completely stupid. Not a little stupid, but a whole lot of stupid! |

It's not about guns, but is about freedom - of expression, in this case. Bonsaikitten.com is clearly a parody site, and I do not want my tax dollars wasted on going after a few people with a weird sense of humor.

KABA Note: As stomach-turning repulsive as this site is, what does the FBI have to do with it? |

"All charges were dropped yesterday against a trucker who had admitted in previous hearings that he had driven ... behind Linda Hamilton and tried to force her off the Mohawk Trail in rural western Massachusetts ... Hamilton’s attorney ... suspects that the truck driver was coached on what to say at the Hamilton trial."
Gee, no prosecutor would drop a reckless driving charge to jam a woman with a CCW, right? |

Dr. Jeremy Blanks slices, dices, folds, spindles, and mutilates the ACLU's contradictory practices, especially regarding the 2nd Amendment.

KABA Note: There are some ACLU Chapters that do NOT take this stand, and are strongly pro-Second Amendment, and their National stand can be changed, if we get involved! |

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell laments that there are few places where she feels safe. This editorial starts out like an anti-gun diatribe, but if you perservere while reading it, you'll see that it isn't what it appears to be at first. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
