2AM News: The week in review Oct.31-Nov.6

In the news, the US Court of Appeals rejects the gov't motion to dismiss the case against the DC gun ban, in Australia, the gov't admits that the gun ban has had NO effect on the rate of violent crime, while in San Francisco, voters get ready to vote on a city-wide gun ban. These voters should read some of the self defense stories this week from 16 states ....Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Indiana, Oklahoma, Wisconisin, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, New York .... and California.

Commentaries this week on 'The assault on self defense' ( Doug Hagin) , 'Gun-toting toad killers' (Jacob Sullum) and 'Keep the canary [the 2nd] alive' (Charley Reese) and two on the recent prohibition of lawsuits against gun manufacturers ... 'Congress puts gun, food liability where it belongs' (Pentagraph) and Jacob Sullum on why Rep. Ron Paul, voted AGAINST the prohibition ('Torts deformed').

And yes, I still take donations. It takes about an hour an evening, plus an hour on weekends to put together the email version, to bring you 2AM News. If you value the service, how about dropping a few bucks in the virtual hat ... Each and every donation is greatly appreciated!

Til next week
