Knocking Heller: ... The fact that the D.C. court is so lonely in its
viewpoint feeds the suspicion that it was aiming for a certain result.
Only the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agrees, and
even its ruling didn't actually strike down a gun law.
Could it be that the two D.C. judges who did so, one a George W. Bush
appointee and the other a Ronald Reagan choice, were substituting their
own views for those of the District's lawmakers? That would be the very
definition of judicial activism...

CNN Lies, Again: CNN is up to its old tricks again. They're repeating
the claims of "CBS Evening News" that bad guys in the Miami area are
arming themselves with fully automatic machine guns. And because of
that, the story goes, the cops are upgrading to semi-automatic
rifles...Let me speak simply here, in hopes that the journalists at CNN
will understand. I doubt that fully automatic machine guns are
appearing on the streets of Florida, but if they are, it's not because
of the expiration of the Clinton Gun Ban. That ban dealt only with
semi-automatic firearms...

Meanwhile, In Ohio: ...On Thursday the 15th, I was contacted by Eric
Flack of WLWT Channel 5 News in Cincinnati. He told me he was doing a
story on criminals obtaining guns at gun shows and wanted someone to
come down and talk with them. We talked for several minutes and finally
agreed that I would come down around 8PM for a studio interview. I had
my apprehensions about doing this: The media rarely gives gun owners a
fair shake, and sadly this was no exception. In a four minute report, I
was on air for ten seconds at best...

Thompson To Campaign At Gun Show: When Republican presidential hopeful
Fred Thompson walks down the aisles of a gun show Saturday in
Charleston, the game he's hunting won't be hard to spot. The former
senator and actor is looking to differentiate himself from rivals Rudy
Giuliani and Mitt Romney - and use his appeal as a "country boy from
Tennessee" who knows NASCAR and hunting to portray the city slickers as
out of step with this early voting state's residents...

Philadelphia Prohibitionists Still Hopeful: Some might consider
Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee vote on the handgun-control laws a
defeat. We don't. Bills that would limit handgun purchases to one per
month (HB22) and allow cities to enact their own gun laws (HB 18) failed
to make it out of the committee, despite a sound, emotional plea from
Gov. Rendell. But a law that requires gun owners to report lost or
stolen firearms to police (HB 29) was tabled. We see this as progress.
For years the environment in Harrisburg has been intolerant to
handgun-safety legislation. So a bill tabled rather than dismissed is a
sign to us that a climate change is in the works.
