Are the gun nuts right about Operation Cease Fire??

I love the comment from the local Philly D.A.:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>"This program is an indictment of the local court system, of the failure of our local judges to live up to their sworn constitutional duties," she said. "Our judges don’t treat guns and drugs seriously, so we’ll have federal judges do it. It’s outrageous."[/quote]

That about sums it up. You wouldn't need a Project Exile / Operation Cease Fire if the local community didn't have a bunch of liberal, "oh! they must have been deprived as children!", let'em off easy judges.

Glad to see this article. Usually this type of urban weekly newspaper is so knee-jerk liberal it's not funny, so it's really great to see them (begrudgingly) giving kudos to the NRA.
 
Friends, this is a long read, but it is an excellent article, IMHO. This guy exposed a lot of the BS that so many RKBA folks have complained about, to no avail.

Read this article. Very well done. And, send Noel an email to tell him how much you appreciate this kind of work.

The only concern I have about these programs is their potential for abuse ... using them on you because you have a flash suppressor on the wrong rifle. I simply hope that a lack of resources will maintain their focus on real criminals. We'll see.

Folks, these various programs are a direct assault on gun ownership. Rest assured they will be used against the hapless citizen who runs afoul of the Feds.

Wake up!!!
 
I posted this article on another thread. I observed that, among other slights, the writer perpetuated the "teflon bullets" myth and his whole attitude was devisive and insulting to responsible firearm owners (so many immature comments and names directed at gun owners). Quoted Philly DA L. Abraham is anti-concealed carry and claimed there would be a bloodbath when citizens were permitted to legally pack heat in a metropolis she and the police could not adequately protect. Turns out she was wrong.

The only saving grace about this article is that it apparently supports what the "gun nuts" have been pushing for years. Don't mistake the chap's acknowledgement as proof he will be our pal and write unbiased articles in the future.

Important Postscript!!!!

I am under the impression that the author wrote this epilogue to the story while gritting his teeth.

And why shouldn't the NRA and its law abiding citizen members take offense to being referred to as "nuts"? Such a term suggests at best blameless mental incapacity and at worse fanaticism on the part of the people it slights, immediatly biasing the reader against them when in reality, the information provided by the author himself supports the case made by this group.

What If the Gun Nuts Are Right?

I dropped the guy a note along jffal's line at: weyrich@citypaper.net

To the writer's credit, he at least left an email address (click on his name). Many of these liberal writers hide behind their newspaper's generic address.

One point to bring out on Virginia. From what I saw on C-SPAN some months ago, they, with the Fed's help(!) were phasing out the government's part by bringing Virginia law in conformance with the Fed's. When that is complete, the Feds are to bow out. Now if that's the general plan, I'd breath a bit easier -- at least the law's abuse would be at a state level where it would be easier to fight.

The only flaw I see in this is that the threat of putting the BG in a prison, FAR from his homies (and where he'd have to prove how tough he was ALL over again), was an additional deterrent. I don't see how they can put State violators in the Federal prison system.
