"Gov. George Pataki is targeting gun traffickers, proposing yesterday to toughen penalties for sales and possession of illegal firearms. Pataki wants to lower the number of guns, from 20 to 3, that it takes to trigger felony charges of possessing illegal firearms. Possessing 10 or more illegal weapons would be a felony carrying a 5- to 25-year sentence, as would selling 20 or more." ~ Contact your NY Legislators |

"In a republic ... citizens had intrinsic value-to protect them was the purpose of government. In an empire, people are material for the rulers to do with as they wish. They may be expended in the interest of or even for the whims of rulers. What have we learned in the decade of Bush Senior and Clinton? ... Consider: ... A boy doing what Jefferson called the best training for character-exploring the woods with a long gun-would, in many places, be seized by the government for re-education." |

"It was also unclear how the man got near the airport grounds with a weapon, airport spokesman Gregg Weissenfluh said". ~~That is a true statement. How he had any weapon in Kalifornia is suspicious. Isn't it a crime to own a weapon in Kalifornia? ~~~~~ KABA Note: Not yet, but they are working hard at it. |

Paul Sperry: "But gun violence is not out of control. The suburbs are not a more dangerous place. Nor are white kids more dangerous.
And for every school shooting you hear hyped on TV, there are thousands of other schools who have never had such an incident.
The only thing out of control is the liberal media elite, who blow such tragedies out of proportion to serve their gun-bashing agenda (while boosting their ratings)." |

Tanya Metaksa: "The juvenile criminals among us are proof that our nation has lost its moral fiber. The Judeo-Christian value system, which has been the basis of two centuries of American ethics, has been badly eroded during the last decade. We have replaced the Ten Commandments with a new system of relativity." |

Gun at school: illegal and dumb, no doubt. Disturbing is the fact that no criminal histories were mentioned. Can 'Exile' legally be invoked for FIRST offense, or is it "mission creep"? Isn't 'Exile' supposed to be used against "convicted felons with guns"?
Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch: "'Petersburg Exile' is modeled after Richmond's 'Project Exile', under which those convicted can face mandatory five-year sentences. The teens qualify because they are older than 14..." |

Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee.
They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, politician, sociologist, psychologist, and so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. |

Walter Williams explains how the intentional dumbing down of American Education has allowed an erosion of our rights. All the while the educators and Democratic politicians have worked hand in hand to ensure so called educational excellence. NOT! |
