Federal Judge rules OK to treat some gun stores differently

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:36:49 +0000

WASHINGTON – A federal judge has dismissed a firearms industry association's lawsuit seeking to block the Obama administration from requiring gun store owners in Southwest border states to report when customers buy multiple high-powered rifles.

U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives properly limited its requirement to purchasers of two or more semi-automatic rifles greater than .22 caliber within five days in the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas.

Police vs. Watchdogs with cameras

This CNN video article talks about some of the issues with police and their not wanting to be recorded doing their jobs.

One of the commenters on the video asks why some professions, such as sports stars, encourage cameras on them while they are doing their job. We see some similarities and some differences, of course, between police and NFL players.

Seattle: City is put between 'a rock and a hard place'

This story seems a little bizarre at first blush. It seems that an attorney in Seattle, a Mr. James Egan, wanted to view the dashcam video from some cruisers in Seattle, during the normal course of police business.

The response from the city, instead of saying "yes" or "no", was to file a lawsuit against the attorney.

Did this guy 'interfere' with cops?

This story, from KVUE-TV, examines the charges against a Mr. Antonio Buehler, in Austin.

It would be easy to assume that the officers were just "doing their job"... until a video showed up, which seems to contradict what the police report says.

As the video suggests, you decide for yourself.

The Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com) has an interesting take on the unemployment crisis that the current administration is trying to address. The subtitle of this article says "Stimulate the economy by repealing pointless firearms restrictions."

Newsbusters: Washington Post Laments 'Easy Access to Guns'

admin — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:08:50 +0000

Ken Shepherd, at newsbusters.org, discusses the Washington Post article about a recent murder of a Park Ranger. Instead of talking much about a person who would murder a Park Ranger, the Post seems to hold a "cartoonish view of gun-owners as ill-tempered hotheads who cannot resolve verbal arguments without force of arms."

Well said. Good article, and some thoughtful comments by his readers as well! Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2012/01/04/wapo-editorial-boar...

NYPD Planted Drugs on People, says Former Detective

admin — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:03:00 +0000

According to Anderson, who testified at trial Wednesday, New York City police regularly planted drugs on innocent people to meet quotas. Anderson should know. He was arrested in 2008 for planting cocaine on four men in a bar in Queens. His statements are the first glimpse into a culture of set-ups at the Brooklyn South and Queens Narc squads where eight corrupt cops were arrested.
