One of the Internet's leading search engines is refusing to sell advertising to firearms dealers or companies that sell gun parts or knives, though it will sell ads to pornographic sites.
-- An alternative to use is AllTheWeb.com. Their search database is bigger than Yahoo (who uses Google) and a lot eaiser to use.
I have no idea about their gun politics, but I found KeepAndBearArms.com through them. :) |

As he awaits court action on a firearms charge, social service center administrator Adrian L. Ford said yesterday he will not dodge responsibility for leaving his loaded gun in his unlocked office.
Two sixth-graders are accused of stealing the gun and taking it to B.F. Brown Middle School.
“For 30 years I have been challenging people to take responsibility, personal responsibility,” Mr. Ford said. “I'd feel like a hypocrite if I didn't let people know how I really feel.” |

The department has received 200 gunlocks to hand out to town residents at no cost. The locks work on any type of gun, shotgun or rifle, Hendrix said. |

Michael Barnes, the president of the Brady Campaign, basically admitted that his group can't compete with pro-Second Amendment organizations. So he wants to "level the playing field" by silencing the voice of his opponents. |
