U.S. financial firms and law-enforcement agencies are considering an agreement to give "authorities" sweeping power to trace terrorists...
Under the plan, law-enforcement would check groups and individuals with "suspected or known connections to terror networks"; Records would be sent to the government automatically if matches were found.
The agreement would first cover banks, but would probably extend to brokerage houses, mortgage lenders, insurance firms and wire-transfer companies. |

The National Park Service is moving ahead with its prejudicial plan to ban all predator hunting in California's East Mojave National Preserve.
In spite of a huge outcry from hunters throughout the region and from detailed comments provided by the Department of Fish and Game explaining how the NPS staff was operating outside state and federal agency recommendations, the land management plan for the National Preserve was signed by the regional director and preserve staff. |

"If the events of the last few weeks are any guide, then of course there is no Constitution. This should hardly come as a surprise to those high-minded liberals who have been hawking the virtues of a flexible, plastic, evolving Constitution for many decades. Yet, some of them, out of sheer sentimentality as regards the First Amendment, would now draw back from the militarist abyss lately reopened by the current administration in the name of Homeland Security."

"His anti-terrorism law, the USA Patriot Act, has already torn holes into that document by radically expanding electronic surveillance and secret physical searches of homes and offices. Too few of these expanded powers are subject to adequate judicial review. Now...he has directly attacked the Sixth Amendment's right to effective counsel." Nat Hentoff |

A derringer is among the 150 guns on display in a refurbished exhibit at the museum at 110 W. Hickory St. |

"As soon as someone starts to get disruptive, either a DPS trooper or a guardsman shows up quickly, and people tend to calm down and get a lot more adult about things almost immediately," he said.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a constitutional challenge to a 1990 New Jersey law that banned assault weapons.
Those challenging the law included a group called the Coalition of New Jersey Sportsmen, two firearms manufacturers, a licensed dealer and individual firearm owners.
A federal judge and then a U.S. appeals court upheld the law. Violators of the ban face between three and five years in prison. |

"Bellesiles does not correct any of the serious, carefully documented criticisms of scholars who have taken the time to review his sources. ...
"These criticisms have convinced me that Bellesiles misread, misused, and perhaps even fabricated some of his evidence. I no longer believe that his evidence proves his thesis. ... Some of the most significant statements in Arming America are "based" on data that do not exist." --Melissa Seckora |
