Send in the Army?

Perhaps the most ridiculous suggestion, however, was the one made by Pastor Allan Bowen of the Abundant Life Assembly in Etobicoke. "(City leaders) have to call in the army," he said. "The army should be left in the communities for two years. They will be able to conduct random checks until the guns disappear." What is this? Iraq?

It's nice to see a common sense editorial appear in The Edmonton Sun. Pastor Bowen's sentiments are worth noting, though. Those who want a total ban on private gun ownership would indeed prefer martial law to an armed citizenry. This is but one more proof of the inevitable relationship of gun control with absolute, unchecked tyranny.

Good News From Wyoming

Representative Becket Hinckley of Cheyenne is planning to sponsor a bill that would allow people to carry a concealed weapon without going through the application process.

Two other legislators are sponsoring a measure that would make Wyoming a "no retreat" state.

No Taping of Gun Nozzles

NO GUN nozzle will be taped this time as preventive measure against discriminate firing by police and military personnel during the coming New Year celebration.

Davao City Police Office chief Catalino Cuy said he does not find it necessary to tape the nozzles of policemen's guns just to ensure that they would not fire their guns during the revelry.

Nice to know Chief Cuy has such faith in the caliber of his men

Unlike some people we could mention.

When I first saw "nozzles," I was wondering if they were issued squirt guns. But then I realized they must have some of those "bullet hoses" I've been hearing about...

We're the Only Ones Exceptional Enough...

A Palm Beach County school police officer was arrested in Pompano Beach on Monday and accused of using a firearm while intoxicated, among other charges, according to Broward County sheriff's officials...Broward sheriff's officials said witnesses heard shots fired from the 1998 Red Mercury Marquis driven by Nicholas Sarnicola, 48, of Boca Raton, who works as a school officer at Boca Raton Middle School.

What did Wayne say to thunderous applause?

Oh, yeah:

[W]e believe in absolutely gun-free, zero-tolerance, totally safe schools. That means no guns in America's schools, period ... with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

Guard Faces Gun Charges

The District Attorney's Office charged a local probation officer arrested for smuggling drugs into Juvenile Hall with two felony gun offenses...both felonies that can result in Gonzales being locked-up for a maximum of five years, according to Sarsfield. However, Gonzales was released from custody Friday on his own recognizance.

I'm sure you and I, who aren't in "law enforcement," would be released on our own recognizance under similar circumstances.

Wouldn't we?

We're the Only Ones Phat Enough...

An off-duty New York police officer who claimed he was friends with 50 Cent and Ja Rule was recently arraigned on gun possession and is suspected to have planned robberies against drug dealers. He also boasted about being on the verge of a $1 million recording contract.

Nice to see standards on the force are rising, yo.
