Standing Her Ground

A gun-toting grandma in Mayes County is the reason two suspected burglars are behind bars. When she interrupted the crime at her son's house, she didn't turn and run, but picked up a rifle.
You mean she exercised her "License to Murder"?

What happened? Where are all the bodies?

One Gun to Rule them All

How a `cute' 9mm pistol purchased by a frightened woman in Florida ended up in Lawrence Heights in the hands of a killer: First in a series on gun culture
I can't wait. I'm sure they'll have plenty of "good" gun stories to balance ones like this, right?

"In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power."

Bush Apologizes to China for 1st Amendment

A heckler from the Falun Gong spiritual movement who disrupted a White House appearance by Chinese President Hu Jintao was charged in federal court on Friday with harassing, intimidating or threatening a foreign official.

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington said the misdemeanor charge carries a penalty of up to six months in jail.
Boy, I guess I'd better cover my tracks. I didn't realize free political speech didn't apply if the ones being criticized are foreign tyrants.

So when I wrote to the Chinese ambassador or wished for the day the communist monsters ruling China "draw their last breath--may it be unpleasant and soon," or came right out and advocated "Death to Jingjing and Chacha," I was violating some federal edict?

Thanks, Republican Bush administration! I'll bet everyone is overjoyed they voted "freedom first". Just one question: At what point does the distinction between two evils become negligible?

Believe It or Not!


Mayor Bloomberg is fast becoming one of the nation's most strident foes of illegal guns - so it might come as a surprise that he once owned a rifle.

"Believe this or not, I am a defender of the Second Amendment. I see nothing wrong with people having guns," said Bloomberg on his weekly WABC radio show.
