"Greens espouse the same hatred of capitalism that created the poverty, misery, and mass slaughter in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Communist China, The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany (Nazis), Cambodia, Cuba, and much of Central and South America."
"That's why Greens are called 'watermelons': green on the outside, red on the inside. The media was slow to expose the world's socialist hell-holes and the media is doing the same for the Green Party's hateful ideology." ... |

"The states and the commonwealth have failed to agree on proposals to ban some types of handguns."
"Federal Justice Minister Chris Ellison today said the commonwealth wanted to ban about 200 types of concealable handguns."
"However, Senator Ellison said NSW, Queensland and South Australia opposed the proposal."
" 'Some of the states have reserved the option to look at no change,' Senator Ellison said after today's Sydney meeting of the Australasian Police Ministers Council."

"Senator Ellison said the commonwealth wanted a ban on handguns with a barrel less than 100 millimetres, those which fired more than ten shots and which were not within the .23 to .45 calibre range." ... |

"The original debate over the Second Amendment in 1789 did not focus on whether people should have the right to keep guns for themselves. In a nation abutting an unexplored frontier, guns were no more unusual a sight in a home than was a broom. Several states -- Pennsylvania was among the least ambiguous in its language -- proposed words explicitly granting the right to possess weapons for self-defense, defense of the state and hunting game." ... |

"With 22 years of city policing under his gun belt, Sgt. Gary Wiegert has suddenly seen this Gateway to the West look more like the Gateway to the Wild West."
"So far this year, St. Louis police have been shot at nearly 40 times. That is about even with last year's rate. But police say this year's shootings have been more brazen, and more of them seem senseless and unprovoked. Nine officers have been wounded so far in 2002." ...
"It seems like criminals used to run away. Now, they're standing their ground and shooting at us," said Wiegert, president of the police union. "Not only are the criminals out there trying to shoot us, but sometimes it feels like the community is against us." ...

DeMoss, one author of Emerson, joined by Smith, dissented saying in part that the ruling violated the Second Amendment and Emerson. Note that in another case in October 2002, Smith and DeMoss upheld ruling that possession of sawed-off shotgun was "crime of violence" (USA v Sema). |

Sen. Jacobson's office denied the issue had been raised in negotiations. But no matter how likely this possibility, the fact that it has been floated necessitates a response." ... |
