Knocking Heller: ... The fact that the D.C. court is so lonely in its 
viewpoint feeds the suspicion that it was aiming for a certain result. 
Only the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agrees, and 
even its ruling didn't actually strike down a gun law.
Could it be that the two D.C. judges who did so, one a George W. Bush 
appointee and the other a Ronald Reagan choice, were substituting their 
own views for those of the District's lawmakers? That would be the very 
definition of judicial activism...

CNN Lies, Again: CNN is up to its old tricks again.  They're repeating 
the claims of "CBS Evening News" that bad guys in the Miami area are 
arming themselves with fully automatic machine guns.  And because of 
that, the story goes, the cops are upgrading to semi-automatic 
rifles...Let me speak simply here, in hopes that the journalists at CNN 
will understand.  I doubt that fully automatic machine guns are 
appearing on the streets of Florida, but if they are, it's not because 
of the expiration of the Clinton Gun Ban.  That ban dealt only with 
semi-automatic firearms...

Meanwhile, In Ohio: ...On Thursday the 15th, I was contacted by Eric 
Flack of WLWT Channel 5 News in Cincinnati. He told me he was doing a 
story on criminals obtaining guns at gun shows and wanted someone to 
come down and talk with them. We talked for several minutes and finally 
agreed that I would come down around 8PM for a studio interview. I had 
my apprehensions about doing this: The media rarely gives gun owners a 
fair shake, and sadly this was no exception. In a four minute report, I 
was on air for ten seconds at best...

Thompson To Campaign At Gun Show: When Republican presidential hopeful 
Fred Thompson walks down the aisles of a gun show Saturday in 
Charleston, the game he's hunting won't be hard to spot. The former 
senator and actor is looking to differentiate himself from rivals Rudy 
Giuliani and Mitt Romney - and use his appeal as a "country boy from 
Tennessee" who knows NASCAR and hunting to portray the city slickers as 
out of step with this early voting state's residents...

Philadelphia Prohibitionists Still Hopeful: Some might consider 
Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee vote on the handgun-control laws a 
defeat. We don't. Bills that would limit handgun purchases to one per 
month (HB22) and allow cities to enact their own gun laws (HB 18) failed 
to make it out of the committee, despite a sound, emotional plea from 
Gov. Rendell. But a law that requires gun owners to report lost or 
stolen firearms to police (HB 29) was tabled. We see this as progress. 
For years the environment in Harrisburg has been intolerant to 
handgun-safety legislation. So a bill tabled rather than dismissed is a 
sign to us that a climate change is in the works.
