Five Shot Dead in Standoff in Los Angeles, California
2008-02-07 21:52:00 And this morning it has happened in my Los Angeles , California . If I could re-write the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, this is precisely what I would love to see: "We, the people of the United States, in order that we shall have the right to preserve a State free for all races, shall achieve this end by the use of less-lethal weaponry only for our continued survival as human beings. This free State entails our personal self-defense as well as our right to our food consumption. In keeping with current government law, if we so choose to possess a less-lethal weapon (be it either upon our persons or within our private homes), we are obligated to store these aforementioned weapons plus any ammo relating to its use in a manner which will serve to protect the welfare of a minor child.

Utah Business Owners Frown Upon Gun Bill SB67
2008-02-07 19:11:00 I feel that business owners, like homeowners, have the right to say who can and who cannot do ANYTHING upon their properties such as when I lived in South Beach, certain establishments would not allow me to enter inside unless I was properly attired (shoes on, no swim suit). I may not have liked it, but I had to comply with it or else I could have chosen to take my business elsewhere. If someone who was a concealed carry gun owner asked me whether or not they could bring their gun into my home, I would say, "No you can't, but if you want to bring a less than lethal weapon inside, be my guest."

Cameras in Streets of Norwich, England Trying to Stop Bad Behavior
2008-02-02 04:04:00 I think this is an absolutely fabulous idea! As long as these cameras remain on the city streets and not invade people's privacy within their own personal dwellings, they can place thousands of them around the UK's cities and any other country's cities for that matter, everyone.The end result will be a safer, cleaner lifestyle for the population and if you're one of these cam operators, lots of interesting (and sometimes funny) jobs for possible yobs, instead. ;) READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

West Virginia Considering Bill to Teach School Children to Shoot Guns
2008-02-02 02:35:00 These lawmakers just have to be kidding me. They just have to, is all. I mean what part of children and guns do not mix don't these irresponsible lawmakers there in West Virginia understand???!!! Have they not seen enough of their childrens' blood being shed to want to actually ADD to their already outlandish, inappropriate and bizarre gun laws already in effect? While I agree that all human beings should have the right to self-defend their lives, when it comes to LETHAL self-defense (especially in the case of minor children), I become absolutely livid at the prospect of adults wanting to educate their children that a lethal weapon such as a gun, is the best form of self-defense. What I REALLY find difficult to understand is: 1) Why aren't more state lawmakers pushing for manditory education in the schools on the subjects of non-violence and conflict resolution instead of teaching our children how to handle a killing machine like a gun, for goodness sakes?! 2) If the state ...

Dennis Kucinich Pulls Out of US Presidential Election
2008-01-25 18:51:00 In MY opinion, he is the ONLY Democratic candidate who has the courage to stand up for his non-violent, peaceful, tolerant, liberal beliefs, Dennis Kucinich will ALWAYS have my respect as well as loyalty no matter WHERE his path may take him. Hopefully it will take him right into the Oval Office some fine day, but as for now, I wish the entire Kucinich family the very best of success, as they deserve nothing less than this after the shameful manner in which Congressman Kucinich was MIStreated by so many.

United Kingdom Bans Ad on TV for Violent Video Game Called Stranglehold
2008-01-18 21:46:00 I think the United Kingdom 's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) did their job perfectly well by deciding to not show this violent ad on their television airwaves. In MY opinion, the international video game industry should create more non-violent video games as well as continue to rate the current violent ones, as we presently have more than our share of gratuitous violence in the entertainment field being shown to our impressionable young people as it is, in this world.

Child Beaten by Parents for Soiling Herself During Potty Training
2008-01-18 19:17:00 Christopher and Danelle Cowen should not have the responsibility of ever raising this (or any other) precious little child for as long as they shall live. In fact, I think there should be an international database for people who have been arrested for every type of child abuse, much like this G8 idea that was talked about in 2005), so it will insure that these monstrous personalities never hurt our children again!!!!!!!!!

Washington Judge Apologizes to Woman with Cancer After Telling Her to Remov
2008-01-15 21:41:00 What was the reason for this nonsensical rule of Judge Holly Hollenbeck's anway, I have to ask myself? Well it can't be due to his irrational fear that a gun would be hidden under Bev Williams' hat, since without question all people entering a federal building would have had to undergo a scanning process to eliminate threats of bodily harm to their persons. The only other plausible excuse that I can think of for this would be the evident self-love of this judge, who to his credit came to his senses. Oh wait...didn't he mention something to the effect of this case "hurting him politically as well in the next election?" It makes me sad as well as angry to think of standing before an insensitive, phony judge, who has been given the colossal responsibility of making life-changing decisions every day. Before undertaking such a task they should attend and pass sensitivity courses, since their business is humans and how to best assist them with integration in our society. READ ABOUT TH...

California Will Not Control the Air that I Breathe Via MY Thermostat
2008-01-12 18:00:00 I absolutely, positively do NOT want my state of California invading my personal private space (nor anybody else's for that matter) by coming into my very own home and proceeding to dictate to me how comfortable I can feel within my very own body when it pertains to the very air that I breathe in and out every day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What I DO want is for my state to begin to educate its residents on ways in which to build a better mousetrap, such as Peter and Chris Talmage did for THEIR home in Maine. We can't allow this intrusion to happen. This is going above and beyond outrageous. I for one will resist this in MY home, even if I sit in jail for my efforts, you guys!!!!!!!!!

Father Arrested for 6-Year-Old Daughter Having Gun Under Her Pillow
2008-01-07 19:32:00 Did the father actually KNOW that the gun was under his daughter's pillow? If so, then yes, he certainly should be charged with child abuse and child neglect, unless he himself is mentally unstable, which in that case would be reason to investigate his parenting abilities. If he WAS mentally stable and had this gun in the house, how was his precious child able to get her hands on this gun? The list of reasons why this child shouldn't have had this gun under her pillow is so vast that I can't see how any sane person reading this story would not be in agreement with me. Mr. Johnson told police he "watches too much CNN' and is in fear that one day someone is going to kick in his door." Well if he felt that way then in MY opinion, he should have opted for a less than lethal weapon instead of a lethal one, especially with a young child who was living in the home. Even THEN, he would have had to keep it safely secured from his little daughter, since 6-year-olds should be sleepin... More About: Arrested , Pillow , Father , Daughter , Year

The Omaha Nebraska Shooting Massacre
2007-12-07 22:03:00 Since my feelings echo Mr. Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, I've decided to post his heartfelt comments as they relate to this devastating event in Nebraska :?Our sympathies and prayers go to the families of the eight who died and the five who were wounded in yesterday?s mall shooting in Omaha .?Having a military-style assault rifle and high-capacity ammunition clips enabled a troubled young man to kill and injure a large number of people quickly and efficiently. Allowing the easy acquisition and possession of military-style weapons like this is foolhardy and the results are tragic. ?We need to find out how and where the killer got this gun and this ammunition. We need to stop selling military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips to civilians. The killer knew what he was going to do, and he knew what tools he needed. Our weak gun laws make these killing machines readily available. We can take steps to prevent tragedies like thi... More About: Shooting , Massacre
Some States Reluctant to Join Mentally Unstable Database for Gun Purchase
2007-11-29 20:46:00 Come ON, now! Innocent, human lives are at stake here and to me, I simply cannot understand the reluctance of these states who are dragging their feet. Whether you are aware of this or not, you can already obtain people's most personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers and much more via the internet if you are willing to pay the price the sites are asking. Pure and simple logic demands that a person who is deemed to be mentally unstable should not be allowed to legally purchase a gun for ANY reason. Wake up, guys and imagine a world where your beloved can be shot by an individual who is mentally incompetent to own a gun. How would YOU feel knowing that instead of being placed on this vitally important life-saving list, your beloved's killer was not on it due to reluctance of your state?

Mentally Challenged Teen Brings Gun to School
2007-11-27 21:41:00 How was this mentally challenged young man able to get his hands on the gun? A thorough investigation of his home life must be conducted immediately.

Congress Wants to Extinguish Cigarettes
2007-11-10 18:33:00 The Senate Rules Committee recently ordered shops in the Capitol and all Senate office buildings to end cigarette sales by Jan. 1. Is it just me or does there seem to be some kind of conspiracy going on when it comes to the targeting of cigarettes? Please don't get me wrong - I am not a friend of tobacco in any shape nor form. What I AM a friend of is what's fair and just and right in this world and I happen to believe that if these shops will be ending their cigarette sales as of Jan. 1, 2008, then they should also be ending the sales of alcohol, sugar and salt as well. Why? Because these products do the same thing to our bodies that cigarettes do - which is that they wreck havoc on our systems thus causing us a shorter lifespan, do you agree?
