A Colorado gun dealer who sold firearms without background checks at gun shows pleaded guilty to a felony charge and agreed to forfeit his gun collection.
In a plea agreement, James Gowda admitted to one illegal sale to a person he knew was not a Colorado resident. He also agreed to forfeit all 225 guns seized at his residence 5 years ago, and "to cooperate fully with the government's investigation" into criminal cases arising from his gun sales. |

The new Office of Homeland Security will combine the efforts of a slew of domestic security agencies, including the linking of domestic FBI and overseas CIA intelligence with the Pentagon, emergency officials and state and local governments.

Strategic Forecasting (STRATFOR.COM) -- In the wake of terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, the U.S. government is moving quickly to create a new Cabinet-level agency for homeland defense and ease restrictions on law enforcement agencies. But while these measures may prove effective against foreign attacks, they may also lead to increased domestic terrorism. |

More than 150 organizations, left and right, and hundreds of computer scientists and law professors are circulating a petition urging that personal freedoms not be sacrificed in the fight against terrorism.
Bottom line: Can our lawmakers wage a war against terrorism in the name of protecting freedom and at the same time make sure that very freedom is not diminished at home by measures of our own government. |

Homeland defense. Rather than creating another multizillion-dollar nightmarish agency which will NEVER go away, which will expand the police powers of the state, why not INSTEAD empower the citizenry to do what the founders originally intended? |

A prominent characteristic of America today is the quest for total freedom from risk. This quest is doomed to failure ... Risk is an unavoidable feature of life.
Airliners were made "gun-free zones" to reduce the risk of violence. But what about the risk that without armed sky marshals or crew, the way is clear for terrorists? If we don�t allow passengers to protect themselves, and if we don�t protect them either, who is responsible for the risks they incur? |
