Learn About Guns on September 17th, 2008
For quite a while, there has talk about developing and then mandating so-called “smart guns”; that is guns that use an electronic system to prevent anyone but their owner from firing them.

Sensibly Progressive on September 17th, 2008
One thing that all anti-gun webpages/blogs have in common is that they don’t accept comments. The reason for this becomes apparent when you look at this anti-gun blogpost where comments were briefly left open. It’s hard to make a point when people with more common sense than you, more knowledge than you, and better research than you keep pointi... -

From a real live commenter at that wretched hive of scum and villainy, the HuffPo:It's funny to see Palin and McCain talk about Obama's celebrity status, yet Palin's husband is a celebrity in Alaska and of course she is because 1 she's the governor and look at what her husband has done.

Fellow arrested during DNC convention released
Arms & The Law on September 17th, 2008
Story here. Sounds like a false arrest suit in the making. Not knowing of the convention, he checks into a Denver hotel with two hunting rifles and two handguns, all in cases.
