"All of them make you less safe."
"Those who would decrease your liberty often frame their discussion in terms of "liberty vs. security", implying that we gain one only at the expense of another, and that reducing your liberty will increase your security. " |

"Americans have been gravely misled about foreign gun ownership and the severity and effectiveness of foreign gun bans. It simply is not true to state that 'the U.S. has more gun availability and far less restriction than any other modern industrial nation'."
"That honor goes to Israel where, nevertheless, murder 'rates are much lower than in the United States despite ... [Israel's] greater availability of guns to law-abiding civilians,' writes Israeli judge Abraham Tennenbaum (formerly an official with the Israeli National Police and then a professor of criminology)." |

"The New York Times has found a reason to oppose the bill arming airline pilots. It would - gasp! - upset trial lawyers."
"Not satisfied with its attempt to manipulate public opinion against arming pilots, as reported in NewsMax.com Friday, the fanatically anti-gun New York Times went back to the well again Sunday with a so-called News Analysis aimed at the bill calling for arming airline pilots in cockpits, citing concerns by trial lawyers, of all people, that the legislation might limit their ability to sue both airlines and pilots." |

There were attempts to gut the bill by anti-gun legislators, but their attempts were soundly defeated. While the bill fails to make all of the changes needed to roll back oppressive anti-gun legislation imposed by the legislature in 1998, it is an important first step." |

The House last week threw reasonable caution to the wind with its overwhelming vote to allow all pilots voluntarily to arm themselves. It will now be up to the Senate to rein in this overreaction by reinstating sensible and safe rules." |

"If the pilots flying the planes hijacked on Sept. 11 had been carrying guns, could they have thwarted the hijackers?"
"Probably not. But that didn't stop the House of Representatives last week from voting overwhelmingly to allow airline pilots to carry guns in the cockpit."
"The use of firearms under high stress is at best difficult. Movies and stories of drive-by shootings foster the false belief that it's easy to hit a moving target with a pistol."

"Criminal charges will be dropped against the remaining defendants arrested in a police raid a judge found to be unconsitutional [sic], the Durham County prosecutor says."
"The decision by District Attorney Jim Hardin follows a ruling by Judge Orlando F. Hudson that the February police raid at Cheek Road Apartments violated people's civil liberties."
"Hardin also will not oppose a reversal of convictions against those defendants who already have pleaded guilty, officials said Friday."
"Hudson said the raid was unlawful because officers improperly 'seized' the entire neighborhood and conducted unreasonable searches and seizures. Actions of some officers amounted to 'tortious or criminal conduct,' Hudson said."
"Police have maintained they did nothing wrong or unconstitutional. Senior Police Attorney Arnetta Herring said Wednesday that officers conducted themselves in 'a very fine and upstanding' manner."
KABA NOTE: Just once, it would be nice to have at least one man in a police officer's uniform say, "Well, you know what - we were wrong, we screwed up royally, it will not happen again, we're sorry, and we expect to pay the price for violating people's civil rights." |

Regardless of the allegations against these American citizens, that they can be charged for mere possession of a firearm has America's Founders' turning over in their graves.
Reading between the lines, it's also possible that shots allegedly fired in this case were fired in self-defense -- but when handguns are banned and someone is using a handgun for self-defense, an attempt to leave the scene is predictable.
And guess what was in the arresting officer's holster. ... |

NBA star Allen Iverson is soon to be charged over allegations that he threw his wife naked off of their gated property then ran around menacing people with a pistol to get his sweetheart back home.
This whole editorial is a great poke at the charade that has formed around Mr. Violent B-ball Player. But the following section deserves the attention of anyone who still believes in equal protection of the law:
"Iverson might receive a judicial order to show up to an elementary school and recite whatever inanities are deemed necessary to make everyone feel better. This is the wink-wink that goes with the tsk-tsk. He is bound to be sentenced to another season in the NBA."
"Iverson is expected to surrender to authorities tomorrow, assuming he can fit it into his busy schedule and has recovered from his all-night party over the weekend."
"The patience of the authorities is remarkable. A nobody could not expect the same." [emphasis ours] |

"It was 35 years ago, but Phil Fetkenhauer remembers how a small boat cruised several hundred yards ahead of his destroyer, the Herbert J. Thomas, spewing what scientists said were harmless clouds of mist."
"After each test, Fetkenhauer, who worked on the exposed flight deck, had to strip off his coveralls and take a shower in the specially modified destroyer's revolving-door airlock."
"The civilian Army scientists on board said the showers were just a precaution and there was no danger to the crew, he recalled."
"But in recent weeks, the Pentagon has acknowledged that the San Diego-based destroyer and other military vessels were used in biological and chemical weapon tests during the 1960s, some involving nerve agents and potentially harmful bacteria."
FORTUNATELY... Now that the government loves the people unconditionally and only has our best interest at heart, there aren't any tests being conducted on "free" human beings. |
