Law enforcement officers couldn't win before Utah voters so now they hope a federal judge will strike down Initiative B, 'Utahns for Property Protection' spokesman said Tuesday.

"I'm not surprised law enforcement is trying to stop Initiative B in the court. They were frustrated when nearly 70% of the voters said they wanted their property rights protected. They couldn't win it on the ballot, so now they want the court to stop it," said attorney Andrew Stavros.

"The following reading list includes a little over one hundred books, useful for understanding liberty and the system of individual enterprise. It emphasizes, with a few exceptions, modern rather than historical works. It makes no claim to be comprehensive and is nothing more than introduction to a vast literature. Only books currently in print have been included. I urge readers to study everything they can get their hands on by Mises and Rothbard."

"William Golding�s novel The Lord of the Flies has helped me to understand what I experienced ... For children are savage, even the girls in their own way. They do not need a "culture of violence" to teach them this. It is a civilized culture that teaches children to restrain their natural violence. We are born barbarians. It is the job of responsible adults to train their little barbarians into people who know how to respect the person and property of others."

"And yet, when these warped young minds go off and kill, the leftists purport that guns are to blame, and guns are too available, and guns are the evil of the universe. The left liberal message is: don�t blame the welfare state, the public schools, inattentive parents, or misplaced priorities in family life brought on by a life attached to the Big Nipple in the Sky, but rather, blame guns and those who fight to protect the right to own guns."

"In words and deeds, young people today tell us that they do not like being patronized, made to feel useless and baby-sat in day-care prisons called "schools." School administrators, teachers, child psychiatrists, child psychologists, social workers, grief counselors, pharmaceutical companies and the many other businesses that profit from the education racket are not the friends of children as they proclaim."

"If firearms owners in the U.S. want to prevent any more infringements on their Second Amendment freedoms they had better fight the new, intrusive gun locks tooth and nail. What is voluntary today will be mandatory tomorrow and politicians from Dubya (who gave gun locks out for "free" in Texas) to Parris Glendening don't care that these devices are defective or a hindrance at 3:00AM when you awaken to a strange noise downstairs..."

OPPOSE H.R.998 - the 'Stop Gun Trafficking Act' Submitted by: John Rich	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
Rep. Payne (D-NJ) has introduced H.R.998 to federally restrict handgun purchases to no more than one per month. If this looks familiar, it is because it is an exact copy of Bill S.406, introduced a few weeks ago. They're trying to get it moving on both sides of Congress simultaneously. CONTACT YOUR FEDERAL REPS TO OPPOSE H.R.998!

"Tuesday we reported to you that the fight to enact a "clean" preemption law in Arizona was most probably over for the year. A lot of Arizona gun owners were not at all happy with that turn of events. Rep. Debra Brimhall has apparently felt enough heat to see the light. She is removing her "strike everything" amendment from HB2347. Under the rules of the House, the result is that HB2347 will go before the Committee of the Whole WITH ITS ORIGINAL PRO-GUN TEXT." --GOA

Just after the routine announcement to turn off electronic devices including cellphones, a man said to a lady (who continued to use hers), "Why don't you turn that off, it could interfere with the flight and bring the plane down." The lady panicked and told a stewardess that the man was threatening to take the plane down. The stewardess told the captain, who took her word for it and stopped the flight to have the man escorted off by police. ~~And you wonder why the U.S. is having problems?

"In many ways, I agree with him, but I really don't know why the president of the United States is saying it," says Jeffrey Goldfarb, a sociologist at New York City's New School University. Furthermore, says Goldfarb, "as a very dedicated parent, I find it totally inappropriate for the president to be telling me about what my relationship is supposed to be with my children."
