--Etc. etc. etc. They just keep coming at us.

A 3-year-old girl was burned when a "flash-bang" device used by Minneapolis police during a drug raid ignited a mattress she was lying on.

In their zeal to fight terrorism, some legislators want to leave some pretty copious "loopholes" in federal anti-terrorism legislation. Said loopholes would not only target those who supply money to terrorists, but those who may have given terrorists books or verbal advice as well.

"Putting pressure to confess on the most vulnerable of suspects, police in Chicago and Cook County have repeatedly flouted the law while interrogating juveniles, disregarding decades-old safeguards and building murder cases that later fall apart."

--And yet the gun grabbers insist that we should rely on law enforcement to protect us, instead of our right to keep and bear arms. How do you rely on people who take advantage of the most vulnerable of people - kids?

While some pundits are celebrating post September 11 America as the "golden age of gun rights," Richard Poe advocates taking a closer look at our post-terrorist attack society. He says Americans are submitting to more restrictions and unreasonable legislation limiting our right to keep and bear arms than ever before.
