It isn�t what you know that counts in New York City. It is who you know, and how much you pay them, that counts. In this recent case, ordinary citizens paid a man with political connections so the citizens could get firearms ownership and concealed carry permits. Both the middleman who brokered the New York permits and the corrupt police officers were charged.
It isn�t clear that anyone who obtained a firearms permit committed any criminal act other than having to ransom their rights back from the city. Now I ask, who is guilty here. Is it the politicians, judges and police officers who took rights away from honest citizens, or is it the citizen who bought his rights back?
The judges, police, and politicians are guilty as hell. |

When Scott Jones became sheriff of Sacramento County in 2010, there were approximately 350 civilians licensed to carry concealed handguns in the county. Today there are nearly 8,000. That means statistically, in any sizable gathering � at the grocery store, a ballgame or church � at least one person is likely to be packing legal heat. |

A Pennsylvania state trooper on the team that guards the governor has been accused of beating his wife and threatening to kill her during an alcohol-fueled attack after she refused to have sex with him.
Police in Clearfield charged Trooper Terry Drew Jordan on Friday with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and other crimes.
Charging documents say the 46-year-old member of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's executive service section hit his wife in the head Thursday at their home and kicked her several times when she was on the ground.

A Gaston man says his Second Amendment right helped land two men behind bars. Two Lexington County men were arrested after a high-speed chase near Gaston Thursday afternoon. Police say it was a simple attempted traffic stop that turned into a high-speed chase. "This chase started because Gaston police attempted to make a traffic stop on the two individuals due to a seat belt violation," Capt. Adam Myrick with the Lexington County Sheriff's Department said. "Actually, two of them � the passenger and the driver." |

Hillary Clinton has been eagerly exploiting the only progressive issue on which she can position herself to the left of Bernie Sanders. Coming from a largely rural state, Sanders had the sense to respect his constituents� need for protection and preference for hunting. Hillary made clear in campaigning for the New York primary, where she dealt what could be the deathblow to the Sanders insurgency, that her aim on campaigning on guns was Sanders. |

As a gun owner, it was interesting reading about the regulations being considered in California. ("California's proposed gun laws won't change our culture of violence, but they will make us safer," editorial, April 22) I take exception to SB 1407, which would require that gun parts like a lower receiver be registered by the owner. This places the burden on the wrong party. There is no way to ensure the buyer will follow through and register a receiver. |

Mississippi is, without a doubt, a place where people love their guns. With legislation broadening the places and ways that Mississippians can carry their guns, law enforcement and firearms instructors are putting more and more emphasis on training as an important way to make sure that those who carry are as safe as they can possibly be. |

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 |
