Several years ago, I, (as a legislator), received a booklet entitled, Children, Youth, and Gun Violence: Issues and Ideas. The opening statement that this booklet was: "Each year more than 20,000 people under 20 are killed or injured by guns in the United States." Almost immediately following that was the comment, "But too often, gun policy debates focus on the rights of adults to own guns and pay scant attention to issues of children's safety." I thought, "Oh, oh, here we go again-an argument for more gun control." Certainly, none of us wants to see children die by the gun, either by accident or by deliberate acts. But, that, in itself, is not any rationale for more gun control laws.[..]

Firearms have been banned in National Parks for 94 years; on Monday February 22nd, 2010 the ban will be lifted. Fierce lobbying by gun rights activists and an administration seeking to appease them has ended a ban that has been effective in protecting National Park Service (NPS) employees and park visitors. It has been eighty-three years since the only National Park Ranger was killed by gunfire in the line of duty. After pressure from gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association, in its final months in office the Bush administration lifted the ban on concealed weapons in our National Parks. A federal judge blocked the move last year, but the Obama administration declined[..]

We all remember the tragedy. Nearly two years ago, a lone gunman opened fire on his fellow students at Virginia Tech and thirty-two people were left dead in the wake of the massacre. Last year, the students at Northern Illinois experienced a similar tragedy that resulted in five deaths and eighteen people wounded. The question that has plagued campus leaders across the country since then has been, "How do we prevent such violence at our own schools?"

It specifically excludes peaces officers and people otherwise authorized by the[..]

Gun lovers always use the phrase above when explaining or justifying why we should not outlaw gun ownership. While this may have some truth to it, it certainly doesn't make it right because the same argument can be made for nuclear weapons. "Nukes don't kill people, people kill people." I don't think the framers of our Constitution ever envisioned a society with so much violence and so much tools for violence. The right to bear arms was included in our Constitution for the purpose of protecting ourselves from foreign armies, like the British Army during the post-colonial era. The American Government in its infancy, had no choice than to allow its citizens the right to arm themselves[..]

I remember back to the days when I was a boy. My family lived in a two story house and my bedroom was in the corner of the basement with no windows. My parents resided on the main floor. I remember sleeping upstairs on the couch until I was about ten years old. Why, because I was afraid to sleep in my own room. I can't really remember what I was afraid of or what finally motivated me to move to my own bed but I know that it was an irrational fear. I think the gun haters have an irrational fear of guns prompting them to attempt to eliminate the perceived threat through gun control legislation. Guns are a tool, plain and simple. They are really no different than a hammer except[..]

No mincing of words, but rather the Bill of Rights is a clear and concise rule of constitutional law to guarantee our citizenry against the threat of tyranny and oppression that the early colonists fled from their native England. 1. Freedom of Speech, Freedom to Assembly, Freedom of Religion and Freedom to Petition. Under our[..]

For a better understanding of the weapons we are going to discuss we will start off by discussing the differences between lethal and non-lethal weapons. A non-lethal weapon is a weapon that will stop an attacker and not injure or kill him. Examples of a non-lethal weapons would be pepper spray, stun guns, the TASER C2. Lethal weapons such as guns and knives are designed to cause serious physical injury to an attacker or may even cause death. Guns are actually a poor option for personal protection for most people. Carrying a concealed gun is illegal in virtually all jurisdictions in this country without a special permit. The whole purpose of personal protection products is to distract and[..]
