"I'm so proud of the State of Idaho. They stood up to the federal government and defended our rights under the Tenth Amendment. This state is showing the federal people that we will only give them the powers we want them to have. Idaho has said no to the ESA at the federal level. The Idaho State Legislator passed House Bill 294 and Governor Dirk Kempthorne signed it into law. This bill gives to the state the power to control wolves." |

Apparently the reporter completely mischaracterized Mr. Faraday's statement, making it seem like Bushmaster supported the "Assault" weapons ban.
-------
"In a May 14th article in a local newspaper, regarding the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and its sunset provision, the reporter took totally out of context what Mr. Faraday said and slanted the article in a way that made it appear that Bushmaster was in support of extending the Ban. One of the quotes that was taken out of context and was incomplete was 'From our point of view, extending the ban is probably OK, in terms of affecting our sales, but we have always supported legislation protecting gun rights, including the Assault Weapons Ban sunset provision.' The reporter asked how Bushmaster dealt with the ban in the first place and how we were able to continue our business. The quote that we would consider supporting the bill that would strengthen the current Assault Weapons Ban law was totally mischaracterized." ...
"The firearms industry's ongoing battle with the well-financed anti-gun groups creates an atmosphere of absolute non-understanding and non-compromise on both sides. From the point of view of the firearms industry, it has become an issue of survival. As long as the press continues to distort and slant the issues, and the anti-gun groups are determined to destroy the industry, then there never will be any meaningful discussion of the issues." |

" 'Now,' said SAF founder Alan Gottlieb, 'U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein, who had placed the jury in an advisory role, needs to heed their advice and rule in favor of all the defendants in this frivolous lawsuit.' "
"While the jury cleared 45 firearms manufacturers and distributors, the panel could not reach a verdict relating to 23 other defendants, according to the Associated Press. The lawsuit was filed by the NAACP against 68 defendants, claiming that the industry knew corrupt dealers were supplying guns to criminals in minority communities, and took no steps to stop them. Judge Weinstein will allow NAACP and industry attorneys to submit written arguments interpreting the verdict. Gottlieb said there should be no reason for Weinstein to labor over a final ruling."

"As of today, 104 towns, cities and even the state of Hawaii, have passed resolutions in defense of the Bill of Rights which in often forceful language instruct state and local law enforcement not to participate in the act's assaults on civil liberties. The latest jurisdiction to consider such fight-back legislation is the state of Alaska, a bastion of conservative libertarianism. The city of Fairbanks has already passed its own resolution, and another is being considered in Anchorage, where key sponsors are representatives of the NAACP and the NRA." |

"Safeco, the insurance company, felt it had an airtight fraud case in 1998 against Corpuz's wife, and also had Corpuz's own signature on an apparently trumped-up claim form listing $15,000 in losses from a break-in at their home."
"But when Safeco went to Tacoma police and was referred to Brame, who as chief of detectives normally assigned such cases, he passed the complaint up the chain of command to the chief. He said not to investigate and alerted Corpuz." |

British shooters today, like homosexuals in Oklahoma in 1950, feel so intimidated by the hostility of the surrounding culture that they must be careful not to expose themselves, except to known members of their minority group." |
