2AM News: The week in review Oct.23-30

Self defense stories this week from Arkansas, Texas, Nevada. Michigan, Ohio, California and Indiana ... and FEMA gives the OK to residents in 'FEMA City' to possess guns! Meanwhile, in Thailand, the Queen urges locals to practice self defense, in Zaire, gun owners who have been refused licenses plan to sue, in Canada the Feds target gun firms for frivolous suits and in Australia 'licensed' gun owners get ready to have their 'storage facilities' inspected. In Brazil, in the week's biggest victory for the right to keep and bear arms, citizens soundly defeat the proposed nationwide gun ban at the polls.

Excellent commentaries this week ... on the recent legislation to protect gun manufacturers from frivolous suits ... at the expense of gun rights? ('S.397 - Victory or Failure?'', 'Legislation weakens gun rights', 'Did the gun industry sell out its best customers?'), the gun confiscation in New Orleans and by FEMA {FEMA's anti-gun posture puts rescue team, public at risk', Remember New Orleans') the failure of the Brazilian gun ban at the polls ('Brazilians say no to gun ban ', 'Brazil (gun) nuts? ') on
the Canadian effort to blame their homicide rate on America ('Don't blame American guns') and more!

Til next week
