Claire Wolfe does it again. This should be required reading for the "If you've nothing to hide it shouldn't bother you" crowd. Specifically mentions how gun owners among others should abhor any National ID. |

"The military remembers his support of Bill Clinton," one insider told the paper. "They won't let him get near stories he wants � particularly if it involves interviewing U.S. personnel."
Rivera is so desperate to "get into the gung-ho Fox spirit" he has vowed on air that he was packing a gun and might be the one to off Osama bin Laden. Happy hunting, Geraldo. |

Trouw fired several shots and a bullet hit one of the robbers in the chest. He died in the kitchen. Another robber was also shot in the chest and is being treated in a hospital in Pretoria. |

The locks are part of a nationwide program to make homes with guns safer. Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin and other officials planned to give away 60,000 gun locks this year in Oklahoma, but unforeseen events made the giveaway difficult. |

REASON for suspension? - "He failed to disclose that classmate had a weapon."
Annette Broekhuis said her son had never been properly briefed on how to report another student with a gun. She also said the handbook says students must follow the law, yet administrators don't elaborate on what those laws are. |

The Police Directorate wants to make it more difficult to obtain permits to carry a gun.
In the Directorate's opinion, "too many Norwegians own revolvers and pistols, compared with the activity of gun clubs," and fear that guns may be stolen.
"The police now wants those who are no longer active marksmen to hand in their guns." |

The passengers had just minutes to respond. a band of patriots came together to defy death and save a symbol of freedom - Americans to die for liberty. The flag flown by the patriots of the Revolutionary War was not the Stars and Stripes but a banner showing a coiled snake with the don�t tread on me. The latest began with a group of citizen soldiers who rose up like their forefathers to defy tyranny. When they came down the aisle it wasn�t the Americans who were afraid. It was the terrorists. |

Dole has changed her tune, now characterizing North Carolina�s concealed-weapons law as "common sense...that allows citizens to obtain a concealed handgun permit from the local sheriff after being trained and certified." |

The FBI reports that in the month after the attacks, requests for gun-related background checks through its National Check System rose 20%.

According to The Guardian newspaper, the BBC has joined Reuters News in refusing to label the September 11 attacks on America as acts of terrorism. Mark Damazer, the BBC's deputy director of news, said the service would lose its reputation for impartiality around the world if it were seen to use such a subjective term. He says guests on the company's various networks may continue to use the term, but news correspondents must use more neutral terms, such as "attack." |

Will America's civil liberties suffer as a result of our new war on terrorism? Part of the answer lies in how we deal with issues raised by increased use of new digital surveillance technologies. Some, like the American Civil Liberties Union, oppose any increased deployment. A better approach is to place limits on what government does with the information it collects.

"Furthermore, he (Tom Diaz) says, 25 50-caliber sniper rifles weapons were purchased in this country by the al-Qaida terrorist network of Osama bin Laden in the 1980s."
"This chilling new information presents the NRA and its gun-industry cohorts with a stark choice: Support America or support terror," Diaz argues.
Another opinion article by Helen Thomas in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer filled with the same inaccurate liberal anti-gun rhetoric spouted by the rest of the high-profile socialists in America. |

"SCHOOL SHOOTINGS have darkened the popular image of a boy with a gun. But in rural towns...guns [are] on [many] children�s holiday wish lists...
The companies that sell guns for children, and the parents who buy them, realize that much of society doesn�t approve. Gun proponents point out, however, that in some high-profile school shootings...the kids firing the shots didn�t get their weapons from parents."... |

This case doesn't involve guns. But it does describe an egregious example of how our criminal jusitce system failed again. One sentence states that there is no redress for those victimized by a system which kept this guy on the streets to be able to kidnap, rape, and murder this little girl--the Dial 911 and Die Syndrome. |

Patrick Feely says there was no reason to be arrested, fingerprinted and strip-searched for carrying a gun to protect himself while working. He is a key witness in an attempt to overturn Ohio's carrying a concealed weapon law.
Currently, the only way someone is "legally allowed" to carry a concealed weapon is to be arrested, processed through the jail, hire a lawyer and be acquitted by proving in court he needs the weapon for protection. |
