"Guns are among the most misunderstood items around. If you listen to some gun control advocates, guns are the embodiment of evil. If you listen to some gun owners, every person in the country ought to carry a firearm, all the time. "In reality, the truth is somewhere between these positions." Sunni Maravillosa

Clifford Cox was arrested after he fired two rounds from a handgun at a man who stole Cox's car. Cox, who has a permit to carry a handgun, told police he fired at the car thief because he had tried to run Cox down. But police questioned whether Cox's life was truly in danger: He'd fired at the car as it was driving away.

"The police state that politicians are building isn't some cartoony reproduction of Nazi Germany; it's an America of the future that looks much like the United States of today, but works as if the whole country has been turned into an airport security checkpoint. It'll be like Mexico, with everybody averting their eyes as the cops stroll by, but with better plumbing...

"Yes, America is becoming a police state. But unless you pay attention, you might not notice until it's too late." J.D. Tuccille

The article is poorly composed, but here's what I gather:

April, alleged domestic assault (outstanding bench warrant); May, larceny conviction (probation); July, incidents which led to pending trial, charges: home invasion, malicious destruction of property, felonious assault, fleeing and eluding, resisting and opposing a police officer and drunken driving.

Michigan homeowner Robert J. Clarke accomplished what the legal system apparently could not.

Symantec chief researcher Eric Chien stated that, provided a hypothetical keystroke logging tool was used "only by the FBI", Symantec would avoid updating its antivirus tools to detect such a Trojan, echoing a similar stance Network Associates took with its McAfee anti-virus software earlier this week.

It is ridiculous that the software companies that are supposed to help us protect computers purposefully leave in loopholes for the FBI to operate their spyware.

KABA NOTE: Of course they fail to mention that kids shooting other kids is one of the lowest on the list of how children die each year....

"Ma'am, we've gotten a report that you have anti-American material," Could they come in to have a look around?

"Do you have a warrant?" Brown asked. They did not. "Then you're not coming in my apartment," she said. And indeed, they stayed outside her doorway. But they stayed a while--40 minutes, Brown estimates--and gave her a taste of how dissenters can come under scrutiny in wartime.

And all because of a poster on her wall.

KS: County accelerates restrictions on gun shows Submitted by: NewslinksDirector Website: http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/Forums	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
Convinced an area gun show promoter didn't shoot straight with them, county commissioners Monday decided to accelerate enactment of new restrictions on gun shows at the county fairgrounds. But the promoter said commissioners were against the shows anyway. So, he'll likely just oblige them and take his business down the road.

MI: Gun permit denied due to old crime Submitted by: NewslinksDirector Website: http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/Forums	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
An accomplished hunter and firearms instructor has been denied a permit to carry a concealed weapon because of his involvement in a fatal car accident 39 years ago. Although Phil Harrison pleaded no contest to a high-misdemeanor charge of negligent homicide in the accident, a concealed-weapons law that the Legislature passed last year prevented him from getting the permit.

"The print edition of the Detroit Free Press had an editorial cartoon of a child within the crosshairs of a gun. Emotional imagery that furthers the agenda of the Detroit Free Press and the authors. The pre-school child in the newspaper illustration is in no way, representative of the "children" in this letter. Gang toughs who get their justice at the hands of the police!" --MCRGO

Jumping the gun? Ex-FBI officials blast new tactics against terrorism Submitted by: Kevin Novak	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
"We used good investigative techniques and lawful techniques," said Webster, who left the FBI in 1987 to take over the helm at the CIA. "We did it without all the suggestions that we are going to jump all over the people's private lives, if that is what the current attorney general wants to do. I don't think we need to go that direction."

PA: Seven-year buyback effort shelves 6,535 weapons in Allegheny County Submitted by: Kevin Novak	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
Last year's Goods for Guns survey paints a mixed picture. Although the program is meant to prevent gun violence to children, 80% of the people who turned in guns did not have children at home under age 14. Nearly half still kept guns at home, and one-third left their guns unlocked. But a large majority "felt safer" in their homes and in the city for having traded in guns.

Conservative lawmakers, who voted against the recently-passed anti-terrorism bill (H.R.3162), are even more concerned now that they've learned the controversial provisions they opposed will never expire.

Many members, who might have otherwise voted against the bill, may have been pacified by the inclusion of a "sunset," or expiration clause in the proposal. But the final version of the bill exempts all of the controversial provisions from that sunset clause.

UT: Release Gun Opinion Submitted by: Kevin Novak	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
The issue is an important one for the public. Whatever side a person is on in the gun debate, the public has a right to know if its employees are permitted to carry concealed weapons to work. There is no legitimate excuse for hiding the legal reasoning of the state's counsel from those who will be impacted: public employees and the public at large.
