But unless a determined effort is made by state and federal police to shut down the gun trade, people will continue to be shot. [More]

Wait a minute--I thought that's what you've already admitted you've done...?

Teachers reprimanded two seven-year-old boys for playing army games - because it amounted to 'threatening behaviour'. [More]

They're teachers, alright. And how.

'The issue here was about hand gestures being made in the shape of a gun towards members of staff which is understandably unacceptable, particularly in the classroom.'

I guess clutching your chest in response and moaning "Ya got me!" would also be unacceptable? Or if they were being disruptive just telling them to knock it off and then going on with the lesson plan--end of story?
