On a morning when a school shooting grabbed headlines yet again, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels urged state lawmakers for the second year in a row to pass tougher gun laws.Go ahead, turn 'em in, Mr. and Mrs. Washington State. Nickels, Kerlikowski and Crenshaw will personally guarantee your safety if you do, and they'll be able to show you their guns (paid for by you) to prove it.
"We have some of the weakest gun laws in America," Nickels said Wednesday, flanked by police Chief Gil Kerlikowske and Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw, who heads the Seattle office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

We have no shortage of expectations and strong opinions about what we want. But when it comes time to step up to the plate, things get awfully quiet."Profiles in Apathy," my Rights Watch column for the January 2007 issue of GUNS Magazine, is now online.
An early December Associated Press story out of Atlantic City caught my eye. "Prostitutes arm selves as body count rises," read the headline...Yes, that's it. And the sadistic bondage and discipline/dominance perverts who run the government and enforce its freaky edicts wouldn't have it any other way.
I scanned the whole story, interested to find out how easy it's proving for the East Coast ladies of the evening to arm themselves for their own defense. Way down in the ninth paragraph, I read of "Christine, 37, who works out of a cheap motel on Pacific Avenue near the entrance to several casinos," who "bought a canister of pepper spray after the bodies were found in the ditch."
That's it? A can of pepper spray?

Gov. Mitt Romney will file paperwork forming a presidential exploratory committee on Wednesday...You know, the guy who supports the "assault weapons ban" and the "Brady Bill".
With little fanfare, the federal government has substantially increased the number of licenses it has taken away from gun dealers over the past five years, according to newly obtained statistics.Sure glad we have a BATFU where we're working out of their Big Boss's office.
My personal opinion is that this is a storm in a teacup, and Codrea needs to take a Valium or something.Why, Kim?
The Continental Congress publishes the “Tory Act” resolution on this day in 1776, which describes how colonies should handle those Americans who remain loyal to the British and King George.
Additionally, nearly all courts have also held that the Second Amendment is a collective right, rather than a personal right. Therefore, despite the Second Amendment collective right to bear arms, the FAA has the authority to prohibit firearms on launch and reentry vehicles for safety and security purposes.From Laura Montgomery
This rule, including its security requirements, underwent coordination and review within the executive branch. It was reviewed and approved by the Executive Office of the President.From "President George W. Bush Speaks On The Record":
NRA: Also early on in your Administration, Attorney General John Ashcroft stated his view "that the text and the original intent of the Second Amendment clearly protect the right of individuals to keep and bear firearms." This was a clear reversal, was it not, of the Clinton Administration's position?
President Bush: It was a clear reversal. It was a position that needed to be reversed--—the prior Administration had taken the position that the Second Amendment only applies to state militias and doesn'’t protect an individual right to bear arms. My opponent issued a press release earlier this year supporting that exact same position. I know that'’s not what the Constitution says. The Constitution gives people a personal right to bear arms. So we did reverse the Clinton Administration'’s position, and I think that was the right thing to do.
