"A Fermanagh man who shot a suspected burglar has walked free from from Enniskillen Crown Court.
The trial judge directed the jury that Paul Hoy from Lisnarick should be found not guilty on all charges including wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm."
--It's nice to see a judge exercising a bit of common sense. If we had a few more verdicts like this, it could do wonders for the crime rate. |

"...what can be done to stop the inevitable suicide bombers?"
"Well, how about trying an idea that works. No country has been plagued with suicide bombers as much as Israel. What have they done to help slow down the attacks on innocent civilians? They recently issued up to 60,000 gun permits so that ordinary citizens can drop perpetrators who try to set off bombs." |

"What we see today is a much more focused gun-buyer. They know that terrorism is a fact of our era now."
"buyers want ... handguns small enough to be carried easily and inconspicuously ... we aren't really seeing a lot more first-time buyers. What we're really seeing is people who already have guns buying smaller ones ... and a lot of multiple purchases." |

The reason? Commanders said, "We don't want any John Waynes." |

All that's both untrue and just plain weird, but 58% of voters went ahead and demanded that the U.N. stay out of Grant County anyway."

"Liberty is the freedom to do anything you choose, as long as it does not deprive any other person of those rights mentioned above. You may not deprive any other person of his life, threaten his life, or take his property, without expecting retaliation from the community. Laws made by men should be designed toward those ends, and not to deprive any man of his right to liberty, as some laws do today." --Darrel Mulloy |
