    | In Garner, Iowa, a young boy has died after an apparently accidental shooting at a firing range.
 
 Police say in a news release that the 10 year old, of Clear Lake, suffered a head wound Sunday afternoon from a pellet gun at the Garner shooting range.
 
 The Garner City Administrator said Wednesday that the boy and a younger brother went to the range with their grandfather. He said exactly what occurred at the range Sunday remains unclear, but no charges are expected to be filed.

    | Not enough can be said for gun safety training.  The antis say they want to promote gun safety but would block any attempt to have Eddie Eagle come in to give an assembly.  Recently, 1 brother shot his other brother who just bought a new 'bullet proof vest.'  Brother 1 pondered, "Wonder if it really works?"  Brother 2 said, "Let's see, and shot him," resulting in death.  How many layers of redundant safety did bro 2 violate?  A speck of any real 'gun safety' could've prevented that.  There's blood on the hands of the anti's who won't accept there's a gun culture and a need for prudent gun safety awareness. |

                      | "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |  |  |
