Bennifer anwers ESPN Page 2's 10 Questions, including a grilling on his application for a Georgia gun permit. Bennifer could have hit a home run with this one, but of course he played up the hollyweird line and simply stated he shoots clay pigeons. Didn't mention that he doesnt need any permit in Georgia for a shotgun ... and that what he got was a concealed firearm license. Oh well ... his movies still suck.
-------
"10. You recently applied for a gun permit in Georgia. Are you a hunter?"
"What I hunt are pigeons, but they're the clay variety. And let me tell you something: Those clay ones are tricky. A lot of clay ones have gotten away. I don't hunt live animals, but I do some target practice -- and mostly skeet shooting, clay pigeon shooting. Which is a lot of fun."
Here's a better response -- one this weenie could have given if he wasn't such a PC chump:
"Well, it's like this. I'm responsible for defending myself and those around me. I shouldn't have to get a so-called 'permit' because we have a Second Amendment, but I did it anyway. And let's be real clear: if anyone attacks me violently, I'm going to double tap him to the chest to make sure to stop the attack. Any other questions?" |

"Longtime community activist and D.C. Taxi Cab Commission member Sandra Seegars has never made a secret of her position on handguns in the city: She's all for legalizing them, saying that banning them nearly 30 years ago has left law-abiding residents defenseless."
"Last year, Seegars suggested that D.C. taxi drivers take up arms to protect themselves from dangerous, sometimes gun-wielding, passengers."
"And in April, Seegars, with a small group of District residents, filed suit in federal court challenging the District's gun ban, claiming denial of their Second Amendment rights, their right to equal protection under the law and their right of due process under the Fifth Amendment." ... |

Parts of Patriot II have been signed into law -- on the same day Saddam Hussein was captured, a move to avoid public debate.
-------
"On December 13, when U.S. forces captured Saddam Hussein, President George W. Bush not only celebrated with his national security team, but also pulled out his pen and signed into law a bill that grants the FBI sweeping new powers. A White House spokesperson explained the curious timing of the signing - on a Saturday - as 'the President signs bills seven days a week.' But the last time Bush signed a bill into law on a Saturday happened more than a year ago - on a spending bill that the President needed to sign, to prevent shutting down the federal government the following Monday." ... |

This is a growing and disturbing pattern for the Department of Justice and the court. Earlier in this case, the DOJ failed to provide any response to Evans' motion for summary judgment or to Evans' interrogatories, which, during a hearing for oral arguments held on August 22, 2003, the court verbally instructed the DOJ to answer." |

"Two suburban police officers were arrested after they allegedly pretended to be Chicago cops. They reportedly stole hundreds of dollars from several victims on Christmas night."
"Two men say they were robbed at gunpoint and then were forced to sit along a curb. They say the suspects acted like Chicago police officers."
"The two were identified Saturday as Harvey Deputy Marshal Kevin Jones and Ford Heights police officer Michael Miller. Jones is being held on $90,000 bond and Miller is being held on $100,000. A third man, Johnnie Page of Chicago, is being held on $250,000 bond because he is a convicted felon."
"The suspects were convincing." ...
"Chicago police say Jones, Miller and two others had been working security Christmas night at a nightclub that was forced to close early. When they were not paid, they allegedly decided to do a stickup instead, and took money from men they believed to be street side drug dealers. Chicago police say the suspects had $1,800 in cash, a police badge, handcuffs and a fully loaded gun."
"Since his arrest, Harvey police say they have kicked Kevin Jones off the job." ... |

"The lack of safety features in many guns in America poses a serious risk to gun owners. Many have been wounded or killed when their guns accidentally discharged or were unintentionally fired because of manufacturers' safety omissions."
"Gun makers have been allowed to decide what safety features, if any, to use on their weapons because no federal agency can set standards for firearms manufactured in the country. Not only have gun makers ignored long-established safety options, but they have been slow to embrace new technology." ...
Etc., etc., ad nauseam.
-------
1) Intelligent gun owners know when our firearms are loaded, and we treat them like they are always loaded. We only point a weapon at something we are willing to destroy, and we don't let untrained children at our firearms. That's just common sense. Darwin Award Recipients shoot themselves with negligent discharges. Intelligent gun owners do not.
2) Intelligent gun owners will not be entrusting their lives and safety to computerized/"personalized" firearms. If so-called "smart guns" are such a great idea, mandate that all police forces use them -- but leave the people out of it. We'll stick to our dumb guns, thank you. |

" 'I think the vast majority of players in the NFL have guns,' said Brown, who retired at the end of last season. 'Just about every guy I played with in the N.F.L. had a gun. Almost every player I knew had one. Guns are rampant in football. You have all these players packing guns wherever they go. It's a disaster waiting to happen.' " ...

"The jury took about an hour before finding that Craig Silver acted in self-defense in the 2002 shooting of Jeremy Colton."
"Defense attorneys Daniel C. Bowen and Mandarin A. Bowers argued that Colton and another man had planned to rob Silver before the deadly gunfire on Aug. 14, 2002."
"They said that when Silver learned Colton wanted to 'rip him off,' Silver drove to the Berkley Village Mobile Home Park and confronted Colton."

"Mr. Phillips, my son is going deer hunting with his friends after Christmas," the voice on the phone said. "What kind of rifle should I get him?"
Every year I have people calling me who need the answer to this same question. . . . Hopefully by answering that question here, I can help you and your friends solve the problem. . . .
When I inquired whether or not he owned any other rifles, the dad told me, "No." Next I asked if his son ever had shot a BB gun or a .22 rifle, or if he'd ever taken a hunter-safety course. The dad explained, "No, sir, this will be his first gun."
Before you buy a youngster a gun, I strongly recommend that you take the youngster out shooting, using either an air rifle and/or a .22. |

"For most of us, the image that comes to mind when we hear the word muzzleloader is a firearm that Daniel Boone or maybe even Jeremiah Johnson would recognize."
"Blackpowder guns have undergone a nonstop evolution since the first special seasons for muzzleloaders were introduced in most states. The quest to make the blackpowder gun more reliable in any type of weather, more accurate and even more effective than the designs used in the 1700s and 1800s, have given rise to guns that the mountain men and the old buckskinners wouldn't recognize."

Chief Wolfgang said "He's certainly well respected in the community, he's a wonderful ambassador for the city and the police department."
While authorities continue to piece together exactly what happened late Tuesday night, they do know one thing for certain, the weapon of choice used by the suspect. It was a semi-automatic machine pistol. Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings says incidents like these only confirm the need for better gun control. "I'm a strong proponent of doing whatever we have to do to get the message out that if you violate the laws relative to carrying an illegal weapon then you should go to jail."

A) WTF is a "semi-automatic machine pistol"?
B) How much gun control does the state need? After all, a near-complete handgun ban doesn't do it, and the dreaded "semi-automatic machine pistol" is surely banned, right? Ah. Yes. Double Ban them.

-------
Northern Territory police are reminding the public it has two more days to take advantage of an amnesty on firearms and commercially made slingshots.
A total of 61 weapons have been handed in during the firearm amnesty, including six handguns and a semi-automatic rifle.
Eighteen slingshots, one machete, a sword and nine replica handguns have also been surrendered.
The slingshot amnesty started on December 1 after changes to the Weapons Control Act.
Police warn that in the new year, people caught with commercially made slingshots face fines of up to $44,000 or a two-year jail term.
QUESTIONS:
What kind of government would threaten people with such lengthy jail time and hefty fines if they refused to turn in a mere slingshot?
What kind of a person would turn a firearm or even a slingshot in to that kind of government? |

"HOME DETENTION
"Valid from January 1 as an option for magistrates and judges.
"Applicable to those convicted of: credit card or social security fraud, shoplifting, minor driving offences, breaking and entering.
"Not applicable to those convicted of: violent, sex-related or firearm offences, stalking or breaching intervention orders."

"Firearms offences" includes people "caught" merely possessing one single firearm without the government's permission. That, to the thugs running things in Australia, is worse than committing fraud or breaking into someone's home. That tells you plenty about the black heart of gun control and those who push it. |

"After Mr Mann was taken by the saltwater crocodile, two friends, Shaun Blowers and Ashley McGough, clung to a tree for 22 hours while the crocodile menaced them below." ...

From that close, even a decent handgun load will penetrate an alligator's brain when you hit him between the eyes. And if he's "menacing from below" for 22 hours, chances are good he'll expose that portion of his head eventually. But if you carry a firearm in much of Australia, chances are good you're going to jail if you get caught. The armed, bodyguarded "leaders" in government would rather you hang around in a tree for a day while mourning your friend who just got eaten alive. THAT is what gun control is all about. |

"OSE, a 35-year-old Filipino, is looking forward to brisk business ahead of presidential elections in the Philippines next May. But he is not in the market to provide campaign placards or even the food that candidates are fond of handing out to the poor to attract votes."

This is a UK reporter exploring the US air marshal program, picking it apart in obvious opposition to the looming air marshal program in the UK.
-------
"The rapid expansion of the service triggered a torrent of leaks from marshals, blowing the whistle on problems that ranged from the serious to the frankly comic."
"The service was pressured to hire as many as 800 new marshals a month. Specialised training was cut back, leading to complaints that budding marshals were being passed despite repeatedly 'shooting' pretend flight attendants during drills."
"In the early days of the programme, problems included a marshal who lost his gun in flight and two others who left ammunition clips on planes. Overzealous marshals drew guns to quell mere rowdiness, triggering at least one lawsuit." ... |

It appears that they should stick to arresting innocent law abiding people. Much safer since (unlike crazed criminals) most of them are unarmed. |
