"Dear Criminals,
Don't worry about learning the high technology alarm systems on the market today with an eye towards disabling them.
I am a Computer Network Administrator in a VERY HIGH TECH WORLD and knowledgeable about differing types of high tech home defense systems including ADT and others of that type. The reason I mention this is because of my choice for burglar alarms and home defense. I choose the low tech home safety devices..."

Valley View Mall management has never seen such a flurry of negative feedback.
More than 20 gun-rights activists have called, written e-mails or sent letters vowing to boycott the mall until it reverses its policy forbidding guns, the mall manager says.
The reason: the mall and other businesses, including Paramount's Kings Dominion amusement park near Richmond, appear on a Web site's list of so-called "gun owner unfriendly establishments." |

NRA state affiliate says, "Palmetto Exile is a balanced approach that attacks the real problem while protecting the rights of gun owners."
-- Note that this citizen fails to explain HOW the rights of gun owners will be protected. If a legal gun owner acquires 'felon' status, post facto, will he be protected?
Remember, it is their objective to make felons of all citizens and thereby legally disarm and disbar US of our 2A rights.

"Wednesday's going to be very, very tight. Super Bowl tight," Rep. Roy Blunt, Missouri Republican and his party's chief deputy whip, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday. |

Historians who reviewed an Emory University history professor's controversial book on America's gun culture raise serious questions about his scholarly competence, according to David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Emory law professor and political historian.
The four essays to be published this week in the William and Mary Quarterly do not accuse Emory professor Michael Bellesiles of deliberate deception, Garrow said after reviewing advance proofs obtained by the Journal-Constitution. |

School officials say that Patrick's love of guns shows he's emotionally disturbed and he needs to be in a "special" school. On these grounds, they are still refusing to following the judges order...." - Theresa Harmon, The Wilson County Parents Coalition, http://www.WilsonCountyParents.org |

"I've been telling you for years that there is a war against individualism and the very concept of the individual going on in this country. The left simply doesn't like the idea of individualism.
Individuals, after all, have individual rights; and among those individual rights would be the right to their own life, the right to the control of their own body and the right to property..." - Neal Boortz |

"I could be your neighbor, doctor, clergyman, nurse or just another nameless, faceless stranger in the crowd. Though you don't know me, there are a few things, however, you can know about me for certain."
-- A great article from a gun-rights activist and patriot - along with a permission to reprint. Good to use for letters to the editor, or just to pass around to anti-gunners and those "sitting-on-the-fence". |

"Gary Kleck points out in the book he coauthored with Don Kates, Armed, that it was not until 1993 that a survey was conducted to find out how many times a year a gun is used in self-defense.
Kleck gives the layman a glimpse of the care that is needed in how to ask questions, and how to evaluate the answers that are given. There are so many different things to keep in mind, it is easy to see how a careless or unscrupulous researcher can get almost any result he wishes..." - Larry Pratt of GOA |

Law scholars are debating whether the "war on terrorism" may prompt the high court's conservatives to "rethink" seven years of constitutional precedents.
The governmental structure designed by the Founding Fathers was intended to foster competition between dual sovereigns rather than subservient states seeking instructions and handouts from Washington.
"The issue is significant because it could mark the last whimper of the Reagan revolution against big government." |

The federal whistleblower statute guarantees confidentiality and other protections to federal employees who report what they believe to be waste, fraud or other violations in the workplace. |
