Gottlieb noted that the recent announcement by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence that former anti-gun Fort Wayne, Indiana Mayor Paul Helmke has been named to succeed Michael D. Barnes as president of the organization is not surprising. http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=65374 --- Violent Crime Not Caused By Law-Abiding Gun Owners: Dave Workman takes on Washington CeaseFire and its shill, Seattle mayor Greg Nickels. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/269440_workman09.html --- Longenecker vs. Brady Bunch: John Longenecker continues his commentary on the stand-your-ground movement, taking on Sarah Brady and her associates over their claims that stand-your-ground legislation lets people get away with murder. http://mensnewsdaily.com/2006/05/08/stand-your-ground-movement-part-iv-legislation/ --- Oops, Wrong Home: Two men, armed with a knife and a pellet pistol, forced their way into a Houston home. One failed to leave, having died of a gunshot fired by the woman homeowner. (Note how much easier a time she would have had if she had been wearing her handgun.) http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=local&id=4155382 --- Insight From Death Of DEA Agent: Article on the trial of the remaining killer in the 1994 death of a DEA agent includes, "Fass' trigger finger was blown off with the first shot, destroying his gun and rendering him defenseless." This is one of the reasons that some of us carry more than one gun and carry at least one accessible to each hand. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/0509dea0509.html --- Rule Four Reminder: A soldier stationed at Fort Hood has pled guilty in New York to second-degree manslaughter, in the death of a woman who died from a bullet he fired into the air last December. (Rule Four: Always be sure of your target and what's beyond it.

Thankfully, some law and order has been restored in recent years. London now hosts the crime cauldron. One reason: it's illegal to defend yourself vigorously against assailants.

Does the NRA and the BATFE have a symbiotic relationship? And is the recently-sunsetted Assault Weapons Ban being quietly -- and unconstitutionally -- reinstituted through "back door" methods, and if so, why? Last November, Talkin' to America interviewed Len Savage, firearms designer, president of Historic Arms LLC, expert witness for firearms issues, and dedicated freedom fighter for the Second Amendment ( www.jpfo.org/tta051101.htm ). Mr. Savage has been instrumental in JPFO's "Boot the BATFE" campaign ( www.jpfo.org/bootbatfe.htm ) and has made some powerful enemies at the BATFE and the Justice Department in the process. Now Talkin' to America has interviewed Len again. Download the interview at www.jpfo.org/TTA20060508.mp3 or read the transcript at www.jpfo.org/tta060508.htm as Len updates us on his continuing interactions with the BATFE. Learn about the latest arbitrary and capricious activities of this rogue agency, and draw your own conclusions as to what those activities portend for the future of firearms ownership in America. Please, you MUST forward this information to every American you know, gun owner or not. Then visit our "Boot the BATFE" campaign at www.jpfo.org/bootbatfe.htm . This is no longer "merely" a Second Amendment issue. The BATFE is shredding the US Constitution, blurring the line between government branches, and nullifying the checks and balances that prevent a government from becoming a tyrannical police state. Your "friends" in Congress applaud this effort, which makes them less accountable.
