Notes from the Resistance...
A local rapper was killed in December when a gun went off inside his mouth, but it remains unclear whether the death was an accident, suicide or murder.
Before the gun was discovered at the jail, it was apparently in the suspect's boot while he rode in a police car, while he was questioned at police headquarters and while he was being booked at the Wake County Jail.
"I still don't think it makes any sense for all of us to be packing guns in our pocketbooks and our cars," said St. Louis Alderman Lyda Krewson, who was widowed in 1995 by an armed carjacker and who lobbied against the law. "We just have a situation where there are more guns on the street."
The mother of the two women gunned down at a family barbecue has called for a public inquiry into the use of firearms and how to protect the public from them.What, like make them more illegal? And note the complaint that authorities did not arrive for more than an hour after the incident--while people were mortally wounded and with children in the house.
You missed all the fun stuff with your show. I know at the last one there were over 100 undercover ATF and local cops...they even brought in the Narcs for godsake. One guy selling black guns said he got asked many, many times by these goons if he could 'sell them some machine gun stuff'. Incredible, but incredibly sad and disgusting.
With their big blue blinking eyes and their quirky personal websites, there is no denying the cuteness of the cartoon cops at the front line of China’s battle for control of the internet.
But the role played by Jingjing and Chacha, the animated online icons recently introduced by police in the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen, is entirely serious.
The cartoon couple patrol the city’s news and discussion websites to scare off anyone who might be tempted to use online anonymity to break China’s laws, says Chen Minli, director of the Shenzhen City Public Security Bureau’s Internet Surveillance Centre. [More]
At least once a year, police officers throughout Kansas head to the firing range, line up their handgun sights and fire 50 rounds at a body-shaped target.
The weapon is called a F-N Five-Seven Handgun. According to the safety alert obtained by The Boston Globe, the handgun fires bullets at such a high speed, they can punch through a bulletproof vest.
Back to you, Jack.
Thanks, Jill. Scary stuff, indeed. And now it's time to check in with Wendy the Weather Whore and her Doppler 12 forecast...
A measure that would regulate loaded firearms in vehicles was blocked in a Senate committee Friday and likely will fail unless it is substantially changed.
Citizens can carry firearms with loaded magazines in vehicles in Utah, but SB24, sponsored by Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Lehi, would clarify where and how the firearm is secured.
More controversially, Madsen's bill also would allow guns to be carried with a cartridge in position ready to fire...
The Utah Association of Police Chiefs and other law enforcement groups say such ready-to-fire guns in vehicles could escalate road-rage confrontations into firefights and make more arms available to thieves and children.

Canadians will be shocked by the true cost of the federal government's ill-fated gun registry, says new Public Security Minister Stockwell Day.Just make sure you look at the right set of books.
He said figures bureaucrats have shown him during briefings for his new portfolio are much higher than previously thought.
David,
Your response to Norma was apparently forwarded only to the board.
I was the only nay vote on the board for this rule, and even an owner who doesn't support guns believed this unenforceable, and said so.
Mel was instructed to include all my comments as to why I was going to vote against this rule.
She chose not to do so on the draft that was published.
This is some of what I said, it doesn't cover all the points:
1. A rule should be in response to multiple violations or infractions, not based on a signal incident.
2. That the rule should be enforceable. This rule may provoke owners to become "policemen".
"Susan spoke against the proposed rule, noting that the Ranch has successfully managed without this rule for over 15 years. Susan further said that rules should be implemented for multiple violations and enforceable; this rule was based on one incident, handled peaceably by the Sheriff, it will be difficult to enforce, and could create further division between owners."
