HOUMA, La. -- 3 teen-agers charged with terrorizing bingo players with squirt guns have struck a plea bargain requiring them to write an essay titled "Why I'm Proud to Be an American."
Under the deal, the terrorizing charges were dropped and the 3 18-year-olds pleaded guilty to simple battery.
Each must write a 3,500-word essay, perform 48 hours of community service, speak to an eighth-grade class about their experiences in jail and write a letter of apology to the bingo players. |

Questions have emerged in some cases about the motives of the tipsters themselves... The FBI�s call for help in cracking the anthrax case has led to a raft of unusual tips...

"So the next time elected officials who are victim disarmers brag about gun control laws and their newest goals for confiscation, call them what they truly are: MURDERERS.
When "journalists" preen before cameras to tout the latest federal lies that promise peace and safety if we would only let more rights go and empower government even more, BOO at them like real men and women did at Hillary Clinton. And make protest phone calls, letters and emails to their news desks and sponsors." Jack Duggan |

James P. Sweeney: "To the chagrin of generations of gun enthusiasts, state and federal courts have ruled consistently that the Second Amendment did not establish an individual right to own and carry firearms.
Now, though, a federal appeals court has disagreed in a decision that has re-energized the long-running debate.
The ruling, however, simultaneously upheld a gun law, and it's not clear which side in the gun-control struggle might benefit most from the interpretation." |

"State's decision to rescind ban took a circuitous path." -- This is a follow-up report concerning Utah government employees being allowed to carry concealed.
(While it doesn't specifically say so, it seems the Governor had intended to keep his AG's opinion quiet until legislators forced him to go public.) |

Good to know Big Bear, CA, is such a safe place. Local law enforcement is so bored they have time for wartime arrests of "criminals" daring to own those dastardly "assault weapons" in their homes and businesses.
Especially heartwarming is the proud arrest of the Army Surplus store owner's wife. |

The law sets up a transportation security administration ... headed by a presidentially appointed undersecretary "with the power to bypass normal procedures."
"If it relates to security, this transportation czar has more power than anybody, including the president," said Rep. John Mica (R,FL), chairman of the House aviation subcommittee. "The bill would be a sham if we didn't have that provision."

The shopping season is here. And somewhere close by are the criminals.
.. shoppers can take simple precautions to make themselves more "crime-proof."
.. shoppers should not go out alone, should get in and out of their vehicles quickly, carry less cash, and shop during the day.
Police ... increase patrols to deter criminals who are drawn to the shopping mobs.
Citizens on Patrol groups will assist police and security guards.
[As usual, carrying a gun is not mentioned.] |

The state Supreme Court has blocked - at least temporarily - the new law allowing New Mexicans to carry loaded, concealed handguns. The court halted the application and licensing process while it considers legal arguments on "whether the law is constitutional."
"That's a pretty good preliminary victory for us," said Albuquerque Mayor Jim Baca. "The court must really have some problems with this thing, and I'm very happy about it." |

Not content with removing a citizen's right to self-defense, registering all firearms, and confiscating 54% of legally-owned handguns, the Liberal government is determined to turn Canada into a police state. Don't pay cash for your airline ticket! |
