"Gun-control advocate Sarah Brady disclosed Friday night that she has been battling lung cancer for about a year."
"Mrs. Brady, 59, said on CNN's 'Larry King Live' that the original tumor that doctors discovered has disappeared, but two spots remain in the same lung. She was diagnosed last March with non-small cell carcinoma — a slow-moving form of cancer." |

~~Let's hope so! Gun ownership would be safer with one more republican in the Senate. (Even if he doesn't switch, as long as he votes right, it's a good step!)

"Officials of Handgun Control Inc., the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and others, said they want Washington to regulate gun shows nationwide. Previous attempts have failed. Though new gun control bills are expected to be introduced soon by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, most face an uphill battle in the GOP-controlled Congress." |

"Increasingly, the agents are turning to high-tech data analysis to peer into the shadowy underworld of illegal gun selling. In this instance, the agent was struck by records of an odd buying spree: seven inexpensive, easy-to-conceal semiautomatic pistols popular with street criminals, all purchased by Garner on the same day." |

"Why does somebody need something powerful enough to shoot a potato 400 yards?" he said. "More importantly, why aren't these guns illegal?"
The answer is potato guns —-also known as potato cannons or spud guns-- might be illegal. Or they might not. No one seems to know. Local police departments refused to comment, saying they hadn't seen them, didn't have a problem with them, or didn't know anything about them. A spokesman for the ATF said the agency hadn't considered the issue. |

"There's certainly a market out there for people who want guns but can't get them themselves," said Tom Ahern, a spokesman for the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).
~~The problem isn't accessibility to gun sales. The problem is that criminals are on the street to buy and use them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
