We need a law that will shift the burden of proof for the need for new gun control laws onto the legislatures, i.e., they MUST demonstrate that such new laws are necessary for some purpose other than to merely ban guns or are just part of their own personal anti-gun bias and/or products of their wishful fantasy thinking. The need to reduce violence is NOT an adequate reason to disarm the general populace, nor is such thinking the result of any sort of logic. Gun laws have been enacted based on nothing more than "feelings" and whim and have been the result of some criminal politician merely paying off his campaign donors. We need to have a direct ruling by the US SC that the RKBA is as the 5th Circuit said: an individual right that cannot be infringed. The one thing missing from the 5th Circuit's decision was an analyses of the last four words: Shall not be Infringed."

Now that I actually have these briefs, it confirms just how ignorant most news reporters are. If any reporter had actually read them, it would be clear that Ashcroft did not announce anything new last week; Olson simply attached a memorandum that Ashcroft wrote last November!

Sandy: thanks for the links.
