Seven times since October, police were called to the home of Sandy Robinson in Taylor. The last time was last month, when she told them her estranged husband violated a personal protection order by stalking her.~~

The mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot and killed his 8-year-old sister after finding a gun kept under the woman's bed cried and begged for leniency as she was sentenced to up to seven years in prison for involuntary manslaughter.

She has 30 prior arrests including credit card fraud, theft, and robbery. Why isn't she still in prison for those offenses?

The gun-control lobby is on the warpath in a most surprising venue. A group called Doctors Against Handgun Injury is calling on doctors, including psychiatrists, to ask their patients nosy questions about their gun ownership.
Ahhh Doc, I just need them for people who get to nosey about the way I live my life! |

Williams, a Los Angeles resident, consented to the questioning and allowed officers to look through her luggage. "It was just totally ridiculous," said
Williams, who is black. "They didn't find anything; they didn't even say, 'We're sorry, we made a mistake."
"Go to a lot of countries, and that is standard procedure," said Douglas M. Newlin, a cargo pilot who lives in Brownsburg. "It bothers me a little.... But I understand why they're doing it, and they're just following procedures." |
