~NEVER THOUGHT WE'D SEE THIS!
"...work on the Democrats' document has just begun. ..it would include language supporting gun rights..."
McAuliffe, in his remarks to the DLC conference, agreed that it was important for the Democratic Party to get the gun issue "right."
Democrats should "promote responsible gun ownership rather than pushing for sweeping national gun control legislation that raises the specter of an ultimate ban on private gun ownership," DLC leaders wrote in a new report. |

"Our (conference) positions are a reflection of our existing law and regulations. The United States like many other nations represented here has a well-established set of laws, regulations and procedures and these are the result of a democratic process. The venue for considering any changes to those is in Washington."
--Assistant Secretary of State Lincoln Bloomfield, at a news briefing at United Nations headquarters. |

This is a story about a New Zealand man with serious anger management problems. Sounds like he took a minor traffic problem way too far.
But we find this little tidbit in the story:
"The man was charged with unlawfully possessing an airgun, presenting a firearm, possessing an offensive weapon, threatening behaviour and drink-driving."
And that could be America's future if more people don't get busy for Liberty. |

A group of 58 organizations oppose the McCain-Lieberman gun show bill (S.890), warning that the bill would "open more loopholes than it would close."
The groups include: Consumer Federation of America, Violence Policy Center, Children's Defense Fund, Physicians for Social Responsibility, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, and the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
KABA NOTE: These organizations instead support the Gun Show Background Check Act (S.767), sponsored by Senator Jack Reed (D-RI).
Among the 58, there are several "religious", police, and "humanitarian" organizations who think that you should not be allowed to decide for yourself to buy a firearm. They are also claiming to speak for "all" their members. If you are a member, contact your local office and let them know you are NOT spoken for! |

"The rush of applicants newly eligible for concealed weapons permits has created a bottleneck in the fingerprint office of the Wayne County Sheriff's Department, with fingerprint appointments being scheduled into January.
The delay has some applicants steaming, because they view it as an attempt by Sheriff Robert Ficano to block implementation of a law he opposed." |

"Vancouver police shot and killed a pit bull mix Monday evening after it bit two people on the leg in west Vancouver and could not be corralled."
"Kenny Butcher, 21, of Vancouver and Ryan Cox, 14, of Portland were treated for dog bites to their right calves, according to a Vancouver police report."
Why wait for cops to come do what you can do yourself? Any dog that viciously attacks me will receive Lead Therapy -- and police can fill out the report. |

"The U.S. Department of Justice reports that less than 1% of encounters with police involve threats or the use of force, but the chance still remains."
"To prepare themselves for the possibility of using their sidearms, the Floyd County Sheriff's Department and Charles City Police Department undergo extensive firearms training regimens throughout the calendar year."
They qualify with 80%, once a year.
Many sports shooters qualify one or two weekends a month. |
