It isnt what you know that counts in New York City. It is who you know, and how much you pay them, that counts. In this recent case, ordinary citizens paid a man with political connections so the citizens could get firearms ownership and concealed carry permits. Both the middleman who brokered the New York permits and the corrupt police officers were charged.

It isnt clear that anyone who obtained a firearms permit committed any criminal act other than having to ransom their rights back from the city. Now I ask, who is guilty here. Is it the politicians, judges and police officers who took rights away from honest citizens, or is it the citizen who bought his rights back?

The judges, police, and politicians are guilty as hell.

That means statistically, in any sizable gathering at the grocery store, a ballgame or church at least one person is likely to be packing legal heat.

Until last year, 14-year-old Justice Williams of Turtle Creek didn't know she was there when her father was shot in the head. She didn't know that four burglars burst into her parents' Wilkinsburg home on April 30, 2003, kidnapped the family, drove them around the city looking for cash, then executed David Williams while his toddler daughter sat beside him in the family van. Justice thought he died of diabetes.

Hillary Clinton has been eagerly exploiting the only progressive issue on which she can position herself to the left of Bernie Sanders. Coming from a largely rural state, Sanders had the sense to respect his constituents need for protection and preference for hunting. Hillary made clear in campaigning for the New York primary, where she dealt what could be the deathblow to the Sanders insurgency, that her aim on campaigning on guns was Sanders.

Guns are great, but classic guns are amazing. My grandfather was a hunting enthusiast, even sitting in his huntin shed into his late 70s, shooting deer out the back window and telling stories of growing up on that very same farm he raised my dad on. I can still smell the oil on his old work jacket and the scent of his pipe mixed with the smoky fire from the old pot-bellied stove in that shed.

As a gun owner, it was interesting reading about the regulations being considered in California. ("California's proposed gun laws won't change our culture of violence, but they will make us safer," editorial, April 22) I take exception to SB 1407, which would require that gun parts like a lower receiver be registered by the owner. This places the burden on the wrong party. There is no way to ensure the buyer will follow through and register a receiver.
