Here is the latest blather; now the Philly gov. is using discredited trace data to try and smear the plaintiffs challenging Philly's unconstitutional gun bans. Looks like last-ditch desperation to me . . . http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/19100459.html and earlier today (includes...

A locked thread discussed a bank robbery shootout out where a Phillly officer was killed by a paroled felon with a mall-ninja'd SKS. Philly is being sued by the NRA because it recently tried to enact a city-wide "assault weapons ban" in violation of PA state law. The lawsuit is pending, with a...

Just saw on CNN while at the deli, mall shooting, five hit, search for shooter in progress. http://www.cnn.com/ ETA: MSNBC says "possible sniper attack" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ ETA: more info (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22116784/) More: (local news -...

I just saw a gun blog posting about the Oct. 5 CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" segment on Philadelphia's homicides this year. The Newsbusters website has a writeup on how awful the CNN broadcast was...

This is obviously unconfirmed coming from a Phila. Daily News editorial, but here it is: http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/20070824_MY_NAME_IS_JOE__IM_A_GUN_ADDICT_.html So, with the incoherent date description, the lie-in could happen either tomorrow or on the 28th during the national...

Another data point to refute the "only in America" talking point: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/06/AR2007060602666_pf.html

Heads up, IL. It looks like Jackson is continuing his momentum, with Daley's help. http://cbs2chicago.com/local/local_story_155230329.html

Another piece of intel on Parker: Just now I heard DC's mayor, interviewed on the local NPR show for the last hour, say the following re: the Parker decision: 1) he represents DC, and "the community" wants him to appeal 2) it would be bad precedent for the circuit court decision "that...

From Dave Kopel at the Volokh Conspiracy: http://www.volokh.com/posts/1179865714.shtml Frye is a law clerk to the 9th Circuit's Judge Kleinfeld (not sure of how J. Kleinfeld went on the Silveira decision). He uses a lot of 1920's/1930's-era newspaper articles and published memoirs to tell...

Another data point to attack the "only in America" meme. PLUS - The mayor is calling for a total handgun ban "to prevent thefts from collectors" even though the details of this shooting are still being sorted out (i.e., where the gun came from) (see second article)...

Since I can't visit the Brady page while at work, here is a link to an article followed by a link to the Brady report "No Gun Left Behind": http://chronicle.com/news/article/2353/college-may-face-legal-problems-if-they-allow-guns-on-campuses-report-says Brady report...

Like that movie Groundhog Day, Fast Eddie & friends again declare war on PA's legal firearm owners. At least we in MD have another six months until out next legislative session . . and Ceasefire's shameless dancing in blood. The most dangerous bill from where I sit as a frequent non-resident...

Here's a peek at what's coming down the pike, courtesy of Ted Kennedy and some other guy - a Federal microstamping law. Once again, those who say "Cali brings it first - y'all are next" are proven right. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/18/AR2007051801335.html

Interesting intel . . . see photos at article. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/13/AR2007051301274.html

You PA guys are taking it on the chin. It looks like visitors to Philly with CCW's may get hosed and have to sue to protect their rights under PA law. Edited to add 4:40pm: Now that I had a chance to read over the bills in more detail, it looks like they all specify that they will only become...

It will be interesting to see what comes of this . . . http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/01/AR2007050101251_pf.html

FYI THR crew . . . we should take a look at the details whenever the bill appears . . . http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/27/washington/27guns.html

Interesting article on the global experience with gun bans: they don't necessarily work (duh). http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/26/AR2007042601226_pf.html Massacres Often Bring Tough Gun Controls By WILLIAM J. KOLE The Associated Press Thursday, April 26, 2007...

I wasn't sure where to put this, but figured "general" was as good as any. It is good for a laugh, or angry email. I was going to ignore it, but thought others might want to see how low the anti-CCW crowd is going with their hysterics...

The WashPost is having both the Brady Campaign legal director and John Lott take online Q&A. Henigan in on tomorrow, Lott on Tuesday. Here are the details: and
