"In 1994, Jones, then 19, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. But thanks to a Virginia Supreme Court decision last year, a new judge ruled that Jones, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was entitled to a new trial because his father was never notified by authorities of his son's arrest."
~~~
And he's about to be let free.

Thomas Jefferson's Response:
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks." |

Kill a cat for being a cat, why doncha? :-) Seriously... that cat wouldn't have had a chance against my .45 and this nasty hunting knife of mine. I might be scratched up a bit, but I'd have me a stuffed cat on my wall. |

"In the last few days, newspapers and television news programs have highlighted disgruntled firearms owners who say they will thumb their noses at Canada's Firearms Act."
"Then, on Monday, a man reportedly disgruntled over the federal firearms legislation, was arrested outside Calgary's City Hall, waving an antique shotgun around."
"What these Einsteins don't apparently understand is that such lawless and erratic behaviour backfires on their cause."

CANADA: "A Burritts Rapids general store was the target for a pair of armed robbers last night. Two men, one armed with a handgun, the other with a knife, and both sporting black balaclavas, entered the store shortly after 7 p.m."
~~~~~~
Sounds like Canada's handgun prohibition is working as well as America's cocaine prohibition. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. � Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
