Meanwhile, in South Africa, 'Gun owners in for shock' ... those who don't register their guns by years end 'those who fail to comply with the act on the control of firearms will be arrested, their weapons confiscated and they'll have to appear in court'... in Spain, a haplesss Belgian is arrested for the heinous crime of ... shooting burglars. Don'y miss this week's commentaries on 'Proposition H: Mythology Instead of Criminology' and the SAF lawsuit to stop victim disarmament in San Francisco, and, it's time to start preparing to celebrate Bill of Rights Day December 15!
