In the action filed today, Plaintiffs challenge the policies of two California Sheriffs, in Sacramento and Yolo counties, who reject the basic human right of self defense by refusing to issue ordinary people gun carry permits....

In the weeks following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, this scene has repeated itself in countless gun stores and sporting goods shops across the country. &#147I think that a lot of ...

In case any of you are thinking about watching the debate tonight to sort out these issues, I'll save you the trouble. I'm sure it will go something like this: Jim Lehrer: Welcome to the second presidential debate between Vice President Al Gore and Gov. George W. Bush. The candidates have agreed on these rules: I will ask a question. The candidate will ignore the question and deliver rehearsed remarks designed to appeal to undecided women voters. The opponent will then have one minute to respond by trying to frighten senior citizens into voting for him. When a speaker's time ...
