Notes from the Resistance...
"People here fear the police and their guns more than they do the [drug] dealers," Rocinha, Brazil, slum dweller Denise do Espirito Santo told The Washington Post about the national referendum to ban private gun ownership.
It’s bad enough they missed their target estimate a thousandfold. Passed in 1995 with a projected cost of $2 million, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports the gun registry program has now passed the $2 billion mark, with no end in sight."O Canada," my Rights Watch column for the May issue of GUNS Magazine, is now online.
The Webley company has suffered severely from the Firearms Act of 1920 which outlawed rifles and pistols for civilians in the British Isles. While this law did little to affect the actions of criminals, it damaged one of our principle British industries. Equally, it left England in a totally undefended state in 1940 when after the evacuation from Dunkirk, we had less than a full division of fighting men properly equipped. This state of unpreparedness was caused directly by the Home Office when the anti-firearm laws were passed.The folly of disarming the people was known half a century ago, but ignored to the detriment of a nation. "The Colt of England" is one of many great articles featured in GUNS Magazine 50 years ago.
In 2002 while doing a programme called "The Best by Request" on GBC radio in which I was the presenter, the crime situation was beginning to take root, so I called on the authorities to ban guns in Guyana. I was laughed at...And you're still being laughed at, you contemptible fool--by the very "authorities" you wish to give unchecked power to.
A man allegedly walking around an East San Jose home with a gun prompted San Jose police to surround the house for about an hour this morning while detaining the man and securing five other tenants.Just call in a tip from a pay phone, and society's hysterical anti-gun reflexes will take over from there...
San Jose police Sgt. Nick Muyo said police never found the alleged weapon and cannot say for sure whether the man ever held it. Either way, he did not threaten the other residents, Muyo said, and was therefore not arrested.
First off, the you'll-take-my-guns-over-my-dead-body group has to give a little.Over my dead body, you ignorant little girl.
Members of Congress are so cowed by the power of the National Rifle Association that they can't hear a cry from US cities: "Please, help us get handguns off our streets." Congress has even tried to block cities from taking action against gunmakers.More blather from the "Christian Scientists".
