NRA Sounds Alarm Of Not-So-Imminent Threat: A columnist for The 
Washington Post minimizes the NRA's concern about a potential assault on

John Longenecker's Letter To Congress: ...In short, the Second Amendment 
was written to be two things; first, as the safeguard of the sovereignty 
of the individual as supreme under our system, the rights enumerated by 
the new Constitution were to be backed by civilian force and civilian 
force forever...Second, the Second Amendment was written to be 
impervious to ordinary due process short of another amendment so that it 
could not be infringed by political argument or other sway to push aside 
the lawful resistance to looting of the nation or any other motive.

The Illogic Of "Gun Control": ...Logically, there is no reason to put 
law abiding citizens through all the red tape to satisfy the anti-gun 
lobbys...A criminal however, has already crossed the mental bridge 
separating right from wrong in his intent...So the only persons affected 
by a gun control law are those who would already obey the law to begin 
with, and therefore should not need to abide by a law intended to deter 
criminals!

For NYPD, Year Of The Gun: The year started with Mayor Michael 
Bloomberg, during his Jan. 1 inauguration, launching a crusade to crack 
down on illegal gun sales - and the New York Police Department, in turn, 
stepping up efforts to curb gun crimes, with gun arrests up 14 
percent...Still, the number of shootings rose during 2006, up for a 
second straight year.
