Sleep said he envisions officers talking to kids during lunch periods, offering insight on Career Day and possibly being a presence on field trips. |

U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Friday's bombing was "purely an act of self-defense." But Rep. Diana DeGette was more cautious. "This appears to be serious situation," the Denver Democrat said, "and I hope the White House will continue to exhaust all diplomatic options before further increasing military actions." |

National Rifle Association Executive Director Wayne LaPierre electrified a crowd when he warned that the UN is working behind the scenes to impose a global gun ban. He believes the UN must be stopped now or gun ownership will become globalized. LaPierre said, "They want the next millennial generation not to be American citizens but global citizens. With a quality of personal freedom not elevated to ours, but lowered to theirs. I say never!" |

A Shelton-area veterinarian who shot and killed an intruder in his clinic Dec. 7 will not be charged, the Mason County prosecutor's office said. Prosecutor Gary Burleson said he found Ken Coleman's use of deadly force to be reasonable. "But if the facts change, Coleman could be prosecuted," Burleson said.
-That is a very strange way of putting it. Facts don't change, they are discovered, and the evidence changes. |

One order will require federal contractors to post notices on bulletin boards informing employees who are not in a union but are still required to pay union dues that they have a court-ordered right not to pay the part of the dues used for political activities. The order seeks to enforce a 1988 Supreme Court ruling in Communications Workers of America v. Beck. (Bush Sr. issued a similar order as President, but it was revoked by Clinton.) |

Leaves me wondering why the NSSF is spending members' monies disarming guns in the first place. (Yes, putting a triggerlock on a gun IS disarming that gun.) With all of the anti-rights people doing it, why would NSSF do it, too? TRAINING and CHILD REARING are the answers to the occasional child finding a gun and hurting himself or somebody else; rendering guns inoperable is a mistake. It leaves a false sense of security, creating a lack of training as an option for lazy gunowning parents. |

Here's a country we don't hear about too often regarding guns... The country's defense and interior ministers will develop new legislation that would require gun shops to obtain authorization before opening. Currently, would-be gun shop owners only need to make an official declaration that they are going into business. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. � Alexis de Tocqueville |
