New York Boosts Penalty For Unlicensed CCW: Dutchess County law
enforcement officials have a message for anyone carrying illegal
weapons: If we catch you, you're going to prison. District Attorney
William V. Grady said his office was spearheading a new awareness
campaign to inform the public of a law passed last fall by the state
Legislature. Signed into law by Gov. George Pataki on Nov. 1, the law
calls for a mandatory prison term of 31 2/3 2 years for anyone caught
anywhere other than his or her home or place of business with a loaded,
unregistered handgun.

Arizona Guns Fuel Mexican Shootouts: "There is a war going on, on the
border between two cartels. What do they need to fight that war? Guns.
Where do they get them? From here," said William Newell, special agent
in charge of the Phoenix division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives...Cartel operatives flood Arizona to buy
semiautomatic assault rifles, grenades, plastic explosives and rocket
launchers in bulk and all are used to fight rival drug smugglers and the
Mexican government, according to U.S. court records and criminal
investigation reports. (I'm sure all of you recall seeing grenades,
plastic explosives and rocket launchers in your favorite Arizona gun shop.)

From JPFO: It's here at last - the long-awaited 85-minute DVD
documentary exposing the irresponsible, malicious, and criminal actions
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE).
After just the first few shocking minutes you'll fully understand why we
call it: The Gang...DVDs are for sale NOW at www.thegangmovie.com (or
through our online store at www.jpfo.org/store.htm ). Now it's time for
each of us to use The Gang. Really use it to rid ourselves, once and for
all, of what can rightly be called an infamous criminal syndicate
masquerading as a legitimate federal agency.
