Holder And Gun Control
2008-11-21 14:22:00
David Kope who writes with the Volokh boys, says this morning: Holder Earlier this year, Eric Holder–along with Janet Reno and several other former officials from the Clinton Department of Justice–co-signed an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller. The brief was filed in support of DC’s ban on all handguns, and ban on the use of any firearm for self-defense in the home. The brief argued that the Second Amendment is a “collective” right, not an individual one, and asserted that belief in the collective right had been the consistent policy of the U.S. Department of Justice since the FDR administration. A brief filed by some other former DOJ officials (including several Attorneys General, and Stuart Gerson, who was Acting Attorney General until Janet Reno was confirmed)took issue with the Reno-Holder brief’s characterization of DOJ’s viewpoint. So, since Heller won the case, and not those urging more gun control, doesn’t that en...

The NRA "smears" Obama?

NRA Smears Obama's Stance on Gun Ownership. Barack Obama is trying to walk a fine line between protecting the right to bear arms guaranteed under the Second Amendment and clamping down on more than 30,000 deaths from firearms that happen every year in the United States. ... The laws Barack Obama supports that the NRA are vehemently against include sensible acts like: * Mandatory waiting periods to purchase a gun * Requiring citizens to actually register their firearms * Mandatory micro stamping of guns to aid tracing weapons * Banning inexpensive handguns that make it easier for criminals to acquire * Limit gun purchases to one gun a month * Require training for gun owners * Restrict gun ownership to citizens 21 and older * Eliminate right to carry concealed weapons read more

I am sure many of you have seen this on a number of other sites:NRA's slippery slope full of holes Again we get to the "reasonable controls" and "intelligent compromises" without actually statement of what these phrases mean. The short answer is a new red-tape hassle that doesn't solve the underlying problem, and stands to create new criminals rather than punishing the ones we already have. Consider a person who has some prohibited weapon, a magazine that is too big, a serial number that is too high, a caliber that is too scary, a grip that is too pistol-like, or some other qualifying feature. Depending on where this person lives this is either a serious crime or a big fat nothing. read more

Relaxation on Gun Control, Unlicensed Sales Contribute to Gun Violence in O
2008-05-22 22:24:00
Here are a few paragraphs from the article for you to read: Easy access to guns has dire consequences. "There would be fewer fatalities if guns weren't so easy to get," said Deane Calhoun, founder and director of Youth ALIVE!, an Oakland organization dedicated to preventing youth violence. "Kids used to talk about using a knife to go after someone," she said. "And to use a knife you have to look at someone directly and be near to them. With an assault gun, you can just spray ? drive by and spray bullets. You don't have to look at the person." The distance that shooting a gun allows takes away a deterrent: Seeing that your victim is a human being, Calhoun said. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that when guns are stored in a home there is a threefold increase in the risk of homicide by someone in that home, and a fivefold increase in the risk of suicide. MY opinion? One day guns will be relegated into the annals of history and parents will say to their children while lo...

Gun Control in Albany
2008-05-14 04:00:00
Politicians in Albany, New York, are keeping up their anti-gun ways. Their "task force on gun violence" is meeting to come up with new gun control laws, even when 80 percent of the violent crime in Albany doesn't involve guns at all. Doesn't it make more sense for politicians to focus on people committing violent crime, instead of guns? Of course it does - if the politicians are really serious about making Albany safer. But they're more interested in getting headlines than providing solutions....(read more)

The fruits of gun control
2008-05-09 11:02:00
Fifty-four shootings in two weekends. Shot-up bodies recovered in groups of three and five. Is this Ramadi? Basra? No. Welcome to Chicago. After a recent outbreak of gun-related violence, Mayor Richard Daley is now pushed into supporting a plan by new Police Superintendent Jody Weis to arm 13,000 Chicago police officers with assault rifles. Depending on how many weapons are eventually deployed, this may develop into the largest militarization of police patrol officers in United States history. If the department arms 10,000 of their officers with M4s, the police will have 9,900 more assault rifles in Chicago than the U.S. Marines presently have in Fallujah, Iraq.
