Michael Moore's Bodyguard Arrested on Airport Gun Charge

NEW YORK — Filmmaker Michael Moore's (search) bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night.
Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.
Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.

Crime may be dropping in US, but gun possession is rising

WASHINGTON -- Early in the summer of 2003, two Baltimore police officers patrolling near Lexington Market saw 24-year-old Michael Awosika pull a sawed-off shotgun from some nearby bushes and stuff it down his pants.
The police chased him through downtown Baltimore, collared him, and then went back to find the shotgun, which he had ditched as he fled.
The officers arrested him, booked him, and put him in jail. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the US Justice Department took the credit, after federal prosecutors arranged a plea agreement on federal charges.

Don’t mess with old lady and her shotgun

Anchorage, Alaska - An 18-year-old man is behind bars, charged with attempted burglary Thursday morning in a Fairview neighborhood. Police arrested him after he was apprehended by the resident of the home he invaded -- an angry 70-year-old woman.
It’s normally a quiet neighborhood, with Shiloh Baptist Temple only a block away. For some reason, the teen targeted this house in broad daylight, apparently ignoring the “Dog in Yard” sign, and soon found out he was messing with the wrong lady.

Television and print ads are filled with images of Democrat presidential nominee John Kerry as a gunslinger.
Whether it is a picture of him toting an M-16 assault rifle in Vietnam, or whether he's armed with a shotgun playing the avid hunter in Rural Somewhere, U.S.A., this is one Democrat who isn't afraid to lock and load.

Another attack at an apartment complex. This time a woman was mugged right outside her northwest side apartment. It happened shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday at the Woodbridge Apartments, in the 3500 block of Oakgate. Police say the suspect jumped out of the bushes and demanded money from the woman as she opened her apartment door. The suspect pointed a gun at the woman, and she handed over about $40. Police say the man then wanted to enter the woman's apartment. "He demanded money and jewelry," says SAPD Officer John Zuniga, "and the little puppy that she had in the house, in the apartment, actually started barking and scared the guy off." The woman was not hurt. Police are searching for the robber, who escaped on foot.http://www.woai.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=5A1AB90D-2A52-4B4B-B112-DA56E02C012C

BOSTON Democrats begin their national convention today united on many issues, but divided on how much to make of the Bush administration's refusal to push for an extension of the 10-year-old ban on assault weapons.
The ban expires at midnight on Sept. 13, and Claire Buchan, a Bush spokeswoman, said he would sign an extension if Congress sends him one. But House GOP leaders said they won't schedule a vote unless Bush specifically asks. And they said that he hasn't done so.

In a speech to NAACP on Thursday, Sen. John Kerry said he would be a "uniter," and would meet with anyone, even those who disagree with him. Gun Owners of America is ready to take him up on his offer. Kerry said that when you're president, "You need to talk to all the people - and that's exactly what I intend to do."I will be a president who truly is a uniter," Kerry said, "not one who seeks to divide our nation.""Excellent!" said GOA Director of Communications Erich Pratt. "We're so glad to hear that you want to talk with us and help unite this nation. How about working with us to defend the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights?Gun Owners of America notes that Kerry has not shown up for most of his Senate votes this year. However, Pratt said, "He did fly into town this March, specifically to ban several scores of semi-automatic firearms."GOA says Kerry's voting record on gun rights issues has been "consistently poor," and the group said it "looks forward to discussing these issues with his campaign."Gun Owners of America said it has contacted the Kerry campaign to take the candidate up on his offer. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/7/16/84338.shtml

Unfairenheit 9/11
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 06:34 AM

|
|
One of the many problems with the American left, and indeed of the American left, has been its image and self-image as something rather too solemn, mirthless, herbivorous, dull, monochrome, righteous, and boring. How many times, in my old days at The Nation magazine, did I hear wistful and semienvious ruminations? Where was the radical Firing Line show? Who will be our Rush Limbaugh? I used privately to hope that the emphasis, if the comrades ever got around to it, would be on the first of those and not the second. But the meetings themselves were so mind-numbing and lugubrious that I thought the danger of success on either front was infinitely slight.
Nonetheless, it seems that an answer to this long-felt need is finally beginning to emerge. I exempt Al Franken's unintentionally funny Air America network, to which I gave a couple of interviews in its early days. There, one could hear the reassuring noise of collapsing scenery and tripped-over wires and be reminded once again that correct politics and smooth media presentation are not even distant cousins. With Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, however, an entirely new note has been struck. Here we glimpse a possible fusion between the turgid routines of MoveOn.org and the filmic standards, if not exactly the filmic skills, of Sergei Eisenstein or Leni Riefenstahl.
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery.

Americans Sharpen Shooting Skills

Americans Sharpen Shooting Skills Sunday, June 20, 2004Shooting Sports LOS ANGELES — Shooting for sport is becoming more and more popular across the country. Along with Pilates and windsurfing, clay target shooting and handgun target shooting are some of America's fastest growing sports. Some 20 million Americans participate in recreational gun activities.Those who shoot clays call it "golf with guns.""It is being looked at more as a sport and recreation, it is not all about hunting," said Rick Matulich of the San Diego Shotgun Sports Association.Target shooting dates back to the 14th century, and it became an Olympic sport in 1896. And while some worry about recreational gun safety, the government says a person is more likely to get hurt riding a bike, playing basketball or swimming."It is a great sport," said Bret Erickson , 2004 U.S. Olympic shotgun team member. "It is a sport for all ages; it is a sport for the whole family and it is a huge growing sport."http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123134,00.html

The Great Western Militaria and Collectible Show is moving to Fort Worth. After a couple of shakey shows at the Dallas Fairgrounds (see review) we have leased the FW convention center for the weekend of November 6-7. Yes this is the same weekend as a Saxet show in San Antonio, but we are working to avoid such conflicts in the future, especially after accidentally booking the same weekend as a Big Town show last time. All support is greatly appreciated. Go to http://greatwesternshow.com/ for more info, or e-mail me with specific questions. Thanks,

NRA News Program Moves to Satellite Radio
Posted by: Admin on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 08:37 AM
|
|
|
The National Rifle Association is moving its new NRANews program to satellite radio this week. The New York Times described the broadcast as a "direct challenge to federal limits on political advocacy."
The daily radio program offers news and Second Amendment commentary. As a media organization, it is not restricted by federal campaign finance law. That means NRANews may continue broadcasting in the run-up to the November election - at a time when federal law requires political advocacy groups to stop running ads.
"There is no government licensing of journalists. Tom Paine was free to pamphlet. So are we," the newspaper quoted NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre as saying.
LaPierre said the NRA was looking to buy radio stations in the Midwest, the Rockies and the South.

ZANESVILLE -- Harold E. Newell Jr. stole five cases of beer in 1966, and that youthful indescretion has prevented him from getting his concealed-carry weapon license 38 years later.
"I have nothing to hide," said Newell, 56, of Zanesville. "I was a kid; I made a mistake. We confessed to it all, paid the fines and were given probation. But my constitutional rights have not been restored."

Case against concealed guns rings hollow
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - 06:56 AM

|
The May 14 Dispatch editorial "No need for fast guns" failed to give one shred of evidence to support a stance against concealed-carry. In fact, none of The Dispatch’s anti-gun rhetoric over the years rises above, "We hate guns and you should, too."
I thought the job of the editorial board is to craft public-policy arguments based on sound research, facts and evidence. Your emotional attachment to a failed social experiment does not — no matter how hard you might wish — count as any of the three.
