Equal rights?: "The mayor of Washington D.C. has declared another crime emergency in his city. In Washington D.C., private ownership of handguns is prohibited which means that only the police and violent criminals have guns. ...The New York state Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics has ruled that it is permissible for judges to pack a pistol beneath their robes while on the bench. Of course, it is extremely difficult for the average American to lawfully own a firearm in New York City, regardless of where it was purchased. And don't even think about bringing your gun into a courtroom! An off-duty Chicago officer opened fire on two men who tried to mug him early Sunday morning. Thankfully, the police officer was not injured, the crime was foiled, and the suspects have been arrested. Had this crime been attempted on an ordinary citizen in anti-gun Chicago, however, the outcome would have been much different. These are just a few of the many examples of how gun control discriminates against ordinary citizens but allows exceptions for certain members of the government."


CA: Man shoots burglary suspect: "Sandra Wilson said she and her husband thought a would-be burglar shot at them last Saturday night. But what they actually heard, said Tulare County Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Douglass, was the sound of someone out front shattering the glass of their double-paned living room window. Inside the house, the sound of a brick from the Wilsons' front garden crashing through the glass 'sounded like a shotgun blast,' which made the couple think somebody was shooting at them, she said. So Wilson's husband, John, a hunter who had armed himself with a rifle to investigate what sounded like a break-in, fired back, she said. Sheriff's officials said at least one of those shots hit one of the suspects, a woman. On Monday, three holes from those shots remained in the front window panes that hadn't been shattered by the brick. Wilson said she and her husband thought their lives were in danger before her husband fired."
