Daily update July 29
Of guns and men
Mens News Daily
by Eric Ross
"Guns bad, gun laws good, confiscate guns, put gun manufacturers out of business, and let’s all live happily thereafter, crime-free. Right? – Wrong, my dear friend, dead wrong. That’s what the Bolsheviks did in 1917 when they usurped power. They confiscated guns, then turned Soviet Russia into the bloodiest tyranny in history. They had a nicely-worded Constitution, not unlike the U.S., they were a “Democracy” – tens of thousands of “people’s representatives” to the Soviets (People’s Councils) were at the helm of the legislative and executive power, and… they used mass terror, wiping out about 40 million of their own people to keep the rest in obedience. Let’s look at another country, Switzerland." (07/29/05)

Illinois: Governor to shore up gun control
Chicago Tribune
"After a decade of work by gun-control activists, Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Friday plans to sign a new state law requiring background checks for all buyers at gun shows, closing what police say is a wide-open avenue for gangs and other illegal purchasers to get firearms. In a second action also supported by many law-enforcement officials, Blagojevich plans this weekend to veto a measure that would have required the Illinois State Police to clear out most records of background checks within 90 days of their creation. That measure, if not rejected by the governor, would obliterate a database that police say helps them track the buying habits of gunrunners who supply gangs and other criminals with firearms."

New York: Law banning weapons at all county buildings draws some fire
Buffalo News
"The Chautauqua County Legislature has passed a law to post signs on all county buildings banning anyone from bringing weapons into them.
The plan was praised by some and criticized by others. All the county's 40-plus buildings will post signs noting that weapons are not allowed.
Tina Hallquist of Jamestown said at the Legislature's meeting Wednesday that she has a permit to carry a pistol and believes her Second Amendment rights were being infringed upon. "It's not right to take a select group of people, a small group of people, and allow them to take away other people's constitutional rights. '" (07/29/05)

Evans managed to reach his own firearm and shot the teen two times, once in the chest and once in the arm, police said." (07/27/05)
