May 26 Neal Knox Report -- The Rhode Island Senate Wednesday
passed a bill requiring first time offenders to spend 10 years in
prison for using a gun while committing a violent crime, and 20
years if the gun were discharged.
A second conviction for using a gun in a crime would be 20
years; a third offense, life in prison. There would be no
opportunity for parole.
----------
The Michigan House passed a bill requiring trigger
locks be sold with each handgun, and banning municipalities from
suing gun manufacturers except for faulty products.
The bill would stop a lawsuit brought by Wayne County against
24 firearms manufacturers.
----------
Talk show host Rosie O'Donnell, who has been demanding
draconian gun laws for common folks, has a bodyguard who has just
applied for a handgun permit.
She wants him to accompany her son to school, but says he
wouldn't be armed while there.
-----------
Five people were murdered executiion style and two others
seriously wounded at a Wendy's restaurant in Queens, New York City.
Just this week, I read where an anti-gunner was bragging about
New York's gun law, which she said worked because most of the guns
used in New York crime were purchased somewhere else.
So what? There has never been any shortage of guns in New
York or anywhere else among those who are willing to break gun laws
-- before they break the laws against robbery and calculated, ruthless
murder,
like at Wendy's.
-----------
A 53-year-old grandmother drew her legally licensed .40 pistol
and stopped a robber who had knifed two Wal-Mart employees in a
Florida store. When she leveled her pistol at him and told him to
drop the knife, he dropped it. She held him at gunpoint until hewas
arrested by store security.
One woman shopper said she was more afraid of the woman's gun than the
robber's knife. Wonder if she would have felt the same way if the
knife had been to her throat. The law-abiding woman with a gun wasn't
a threat to her or her children, but the robber -- a man with a long criminal
record -- most surely was.
Police and Wal-Mart tut-tutted that someone could have been
hurt by the legal gun. Maybe. But it didn't happen, and no one
was hurt except the employees the man had knifed.
--------
A Cincinnati judge has dropped charges against a pizza
deliveryman charged with illegally carrying a firearm, saying the
state's law against carrying a concealed firearm is
unconstitutional.
Some years ago, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld the state's law
allowing a person to carry concealed if he were being "prudent" in
being armed under the circumstances. That may be the basis for his
dismissal of the charges, but Judge Thomas Crush added that the
pizzaman "had a constitutional right to protect himself while
working a job with a high risk for robbery."
-------
With the New Jersey primaries coming up fast, someone in the
state has posted on the Web a 1993 "investigative report" accusing
former Gov. Jim Florio, a Democrat, of bribing Republican Sen. Bill
Gormley, in a construction deal. It supposedly was written by
"political insiders" and appears factual but may not be.
For whatever it's worth, it's at http://rosie.acmecity.com/smiley/476/index.html
Florio and Gormley are running No. 2 in their party's primary
for U.S. Senate, according to recent polls.
---------
Tucson Attorney Dave Hardy has confirmed what I heard Tuesday
morning, that the Vector Data System "study" of the FBI FLIR tape
at Waco is a joke. The firm was hired by Judge Walter Smith to
conduct a test of how gunfire looks on infrared, and made big news
earlier this month when they announced that there was no firing by
either the FBI or the Davidians.
But in depositions Monday, which Hardy attended, one of their
experts said that neither he nor their other expert is qualified to
determine whether a flash is a gunshot -- the issue they were
ostensibly hired to determine.
The Vector study is "dead as a doornail," Hardy said in an
email.
