Two "comeback kids" who championed gun violence prevention upset both the conventional wisdom and established opponents in Maryland yesterday. Incumbent Maryland State Senator John Giannetti was unseated by his Democratic primary opponent, former ambassador Jim Rosapepe, who pounded Giannetti for killing the state's assault rifle ban in a prior session of the legislature. And in an open race for another State Senate seat in Maryland, newcomer candidate Mike Lenett won easily over established state legislators by stressing his support from Sarah Brady. |

The slaying of Matthew Milam Jr. by his younger brother last month appears to have been an act of self-defense, an assistant district attorney said Tuesday.
“We are undecided at this time whether to pursue charges but feel there is a good possibility that we won't,” Susan Thompson said in a telephone interview.
“There's evidence, very strong evidence, of a clear case of self-defense on the part of James Milam.” |

A 51-year-old ER nurse proved that the right to bear arms is indeed irrelevant...if you have a frickin' bear's arms. Susan Kuhnhausen , who The Oregonian reported was about 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds, strangled a 5-foot-9, 180-pound intruder in self-defense last Wednesday after she found the man in her Southeast Portland home. |

Mayor Joseph Jaskiewicz said the controversial gun ordinance proposal was wellwritten, but the outcry against it did it in.
Town councilors voted unanimously Monday to remove the proposed gun ordinance from their agenda.
Jaskiewicz recommended pulling the proposal last month when a furor arose regarding the perception it was infringing on the right to bear arms. |

A lot of people have been trying to add amendments to the constitution lately. They want a ban on gay marriage, on flag burning and a few others I won't mention here because they're almost as ridiculous as a ban on flag burning. However, since we're talking so much about adding, I think we need to take one away. Here it is: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." |

Former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable said, "In the last five years guns have killed more than a million people and today millions of innocent men, women and children around the world are living in fear of armed violence." |

And now you can't bring your cup of coffee on board the airplane. It's the latest new rule laid down by the nation's security wizards. Everyone knows it's ridiculous--the notion that you can toss together a few liquids and make an explosive is a fiction from late-night movies. You might as well prohibit bald men on the grounds that the evil Lex Luthor was bald and so was Blofeld, the head of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. |

The alleged incident happened outside Applebee's on Aug. 26. Robert Wise, of Garner, said he, his wife and 11-year-old daughter were leaving the restaurant when a man came up to their car window, yelling at them about taking up two parking spaces.
Wise said the man didn't identify himself as a law enforcement officer and tried to pull him out of the car. He said he was beaten, sprayed with pepper spray and handcuffed and needed to be taken to WakeMed for treatment. |

The TV and radio ads are true: Buy a truck. Get a free gun.
A creative marketing campaign conjured up by Prestige Nissan General Sales Manager Dan Crumpler offers buyers of used or new Nissan SUVs or trucks in August a choice of a Remington 1187 shotgun or a Remington 700 rifle.
"We've given away five or six guns already," Crumpler said Monday at the Thomasville-based dealership. "The guns retail for about $699 each, so it's a good deal, especially with dove season starting Labor Day weekend and with deer season starting in early October." |
