(Ed: This case drew national attention when Hale Demar, a Wilmette resident shot and wounded this wonderful example of citizenry.  Wilmette banned gun ownership some years earlier and Demar was charged with illegal gun posession.  The case was dropped.  It also appears the burglar's case was dropped and has been allowed to continue with his profession unabated.  Sentenced to 7 years in prison in 2004, he 'turned his life around' he said.  It seems seven years in Illinois prison is calculated in dog years.

International Gun Control


9/6 - South Africa: Firearms bill clears National Assembly - Citizen.co.za - Story

9/4 - Swiss defense minister defends soldiers keeping rifles at home.  No effect on suicide rates - SwissInfo.org - Story -
Facts: Swiss suicide rate is approximately 18.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 'gun-free' Japan which is 27 per 100,000.  The U.S. rate is 12 per 100,000 inhabitants.  Do guns cause suicide?  The numbers say NO.)  Read last week's post below that started the debate:
8/30 - An anti-gun genius says gun suicide rate would drop if guns were not accessible - Swiss Info - Story (Ed: Word trickery.  No mention if the overall suicide rate would drop if guns were less accessible.  The facts are, Japan has no private gun ownership and a suicide rate 2 to 3 times higher than the U.S. and other industrialized nations.  In other words, 'guns don't commit suicide, people commit suicide.'  But, through simple word trickery and omission of facts, the anti-gun genius leads readers to believe a relationship between higher suicide rates and gun ownership exists, when in fact no relationship exists.)

9/4 - UK: Teens and guns: The shocking truth - The Observer - Story

9/4 - 'Gun-Free' London: 1221 wounded or killed by firearms in 2005.  It is now three times higher than before the gun ban - Sunday Mirror - Story 
(Ed: The only good news to come out of this is that Brit criminals are lousy shots, with only 38 killed.)

9/4 - Rebuttal to James Alan Fox Editorial - News Busters - Story

9/4 - Deadly, intentional ignorance on guns - LA Times Editorial - Story -
(Ed: There is a reason this article is in the editorial section and not the news.  It's packed with blatantly misleading information.   Local law enforcement still gets gun trace data, they're just banned from giving it to politicians like NYC Mayor Bloomberg who will use it to file lawsuits against gun dealers.)

9/7 - ATF on alert over 2" long mini-gun - WCBSTV.com - Story - (Ed: The gun is a Swiss .22 cal handmade custom recreation of the Colt Python.  You need to pony up $3 grand or more... and it's illegal in the U.S.)

9/8 - California Rifle & Pistol Assoc. defends its position over published false and misleading statements made by NRA Members Council Representative - CRPA.org - Story
(Ed: CRPA is the NRA's California Affilitate organization.  Statements made by this individual about CRPA, that incorrectly state the CRPA's position, makes you wonder who the enemy is in the fight for our gun rights.  The facts are, CRPA and NRA work hand-in-hand in a coordinated effort on a number of legislative issues in California, as you would expect of an NRA state affiliate.  But the defamatory statements made by this Members Council individual, including simply publishing false information, gives you an idea how completely out of touch some people are on certain issues.  In other words, don't believe everything you read simply because it's on the net.  If it sounds outlandish, there's a good chance that it is.  The CRPA set the record straight, both in this retraction and legally, simply because the statements made were so utterly false that they were defamatory and potentially injurious to the organization.  It's about time people be held accountable for publishing false and incorrect information that is intended to hurt the reputation of another person or organization by going well beyond being a simple error.  That's not what freedom of speech is all about.  They had no choice and I'm glad they went after this individual.)

9/7 - Ceasefire Maryland reveals 1 assault weapon used every 48 hours in state crimes in "new study" - US Newswire - Story - (Ed: The only problem is the so-called "new study" is from 2001 data, five years after the federal assault weapon ban went into effect, proving it was one of the most completely useless gun control bills ever devised.  Also, did you know that every firearm on Ceasefire's list of "assault weapons" with the exception of one were never classified as "assault weapons" under federal law?  Even California's draconian semi-auto ban doesn't ban the majority of the weapons on the list including the military issue M1 Carbine.  You folks in Maryland have some real anti-gun nuts on your hands.)
