Guns in the Home Increase Costs as Well as Dangers
By: Wolters Kluwer Health: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Feb. 3, 2010 - Having a gun at home not only increases the risk of harm to one's self and family, but also carries high costs to society, concludes an article in the February Southern Medical Journal, official journal of the Southern Medical Association. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading provider of information and business intelligence for students, professionals, and institutions in medicine, nursing, allied health, and pharmacy.
"Firearm-related violence vastly increases expenditures for health care, services for the disabled, insurance, and our criminal justice system," writes Dr. Steven Lippmann of University of Louisville School of Medicine, and colleagues. "The bills are paid by taxpayers and those who buy insurance."

Arizona May Allow Faculty to Carry Guns on Campus |

ABC News on Campus reporter Lindsey Reiser blogs:
Guns on campus: not everyone wants it, but in Arizona it might just become a reality.
Most universities do not allow students or faculty with concealed carry permits to bring a weapon to school, but a bill is currently moving through the state senate that would allow faculty to do just that. Currently, only certified police officers are permitted to carry a weapon on school grounds in Arizona.
State Senator Jack Harper of Phoenix is the primary sponsor of this bill, and this legislative session is not the first time that it has been introduced.

Who are the 'real' sunshine patriots?

Thomas Paine meant by the term "sunshine patriot" those that stand for an ideal when it's "easy" to stand for that ideal.
For example, it was easier for the 350 armed tea bag people to protest infringements against their Second Amendment rights, when these rights are in no way under attack by any branch of the government or by any populist movement.
It was also easier for the 350 armed tea bag people to stand up to the six unarmed protesters with signs containing very unpopular (in Alamogordo) messages calling for the support of our president, health care for everyone, and ending our senseless and endless wars.
Isn't there safety in numbers?
So there we stood,... [Read More]

Blansett talks about powers of sheriff
Alamogordo Daily News
By Laura London, Staff Writer
Posted: 01/31/2010 12:00:00 AM MST
Sheriff John Blansett talked about the sheriff's office, its powers and function Saturday at the Second Amendment Task Force town hall-style meeting at the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"The sheriff's department isn't mine," Blansett said to begin. "I borrowed it from you folks for eight years to protect you folks from tyranny, domestic and foreign, and to enforce the laws of the state of New Mexico."
Blansett, whose term is up in November, introduced the three candidates running for sheriff, who were in attendance John Lee, Benny House and Bill May. He said when he retires he is going to be a counselor for the visually impaired and is already working for the Commission for... [Read More]
