Another triumph of British gun control: "An 11-year-old boy fired a loaded gun which he and his brother, aged 3, had found in their garden in Smethwick, West Midlands. The police said that the weapon was discharged at an unattended car by the boy, who mistook the firearm for a toy. Nobody was hurt. The boys’ mother said: “He’d fired it once and it jammed and then he fired it again and it went through the car.”


Citizens' group vs. ammunition coding campaign: "The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today is calling on lawmakers in the states of Washington, Arizona, New York, Illinois, Hawaii and several other states to scrutinize legislation that would require ammunition coding, because it mandates a [sole] source monopoly for a Seattle-based company that owns the technology. Based on a story in the new edition of Gun Week, and a look at virtually identical legislation that has been introduced in several states, CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said there are serious questions that need to be addressed about these measures, and the effort to pass them into law."


Anti-gunners disdain self-defense: "Murder is against the law everywhere. No one intent on murder will be stopped by the prospect of committing a lesser crime such as illegal possession of a firearm. The intellectuals and politicians who make pious declarations about controlling guns should explain how their gunless utopia is to be realized. While they search for their magic bullet, defenseless people are dying. That's because laws that make it difficult or impossible to carry a concealed handgun deter one group of people: law-abiding citizens who might have used a gun to stop crime. Gun laws are laws against self-defense."


Media hates guns: "Our First Amendment right to free speech and freedom of the press is perhaps the most powerful tool we have to expose and combat injustice in society. What happens when the media becomes a tool to create and further injustices against its own audience? The big media outlets have declared war on the Second Amendment using sensationalism, biased reporting, and coining anti-gun phrases in order shape the views and opinions of their audience. For example, recent mass shootings on school campuses and in other public places are blasted all over the media with images of blood, police, and trembling witnesses. No mention is made of the fact that such crimes are made possible by the systematic disarmament of people."
