Who has more to fear from armed pilots, terrorists or the Obama administration?
Here’s an editorial from The Washington Times:
EDITORIAL: Guns on a plane
Obama secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns
After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.
Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.
The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots.
This looks like completely unnecessary harassment of the pilots. The 12,000 Federal Flight Deck Officers, the pilots who have been approved to carry guns, are reported to have the best behavior of any federal law enforcement agency. There are no cases where any of them has improperly brandished or used a gun. There are just a few cases where officers have improperly used their IDs.
Fewer than one percent of the officers have any administrative actions brought against them and, we are told, virtually all of those cases “are trumped up.”
The fact that the original gun control laws in the US were put in place to keep Blacks defenseless against the Klan is apparently lost on these kids.
And Pfleger is such an upstanding pillar of the community too, calling for the “snuffing out” of legislators and honest, hard working US citizens who have commited no crime. What a role model!
Funny how this gets coverage, but the 5,000+ member IGOLD event held just days earlier gets no mention except as an afterthought at the end of this story.

College kids help fight city’s gun violence
By John Garcia
March 16, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — Dozens of college students from the East Coast are taking a stand to try to stop the violence in Chicago.
Students from Howard and Princeton Universities are spending their spring break in Illinois.
It was nearly three years ago when Willie Williams III was shot and killed outside the Ford City Mall movie theater. But the pain is still fresh for his father. He is now dedicated to make it more difficult for kids to get hold of guns.
“We as families and parents, we think that it can slow up the flow of guns getting to the streets,” said Willie Williams Jr., victim’s father.
Williams is one of several parents of children killed by gun violence who spoke at St. Sabina Church on Monday night. In the audience were dozens of college students on spring break from Howard and Princeton. They have skipped the typical spring break parties and instead are in Chicago for the week to work for gun control legislation.
“I got upset all over again. I think it’s important for things that make you uncomfortable, things like that. I started wondering why more people aren’t uncomfortable,” said LaShondra Booker, Howard University senior.
The event was organized by St. Sabina pastor, Fr. Michael Pfleger, one of the city’s leading voices for gun control. Some of the students spend part of the day calling state lawmakers to lobby them in favor of a bill putting new restrictions on some private sales of guns.
“I want to commend the students because it shows their compassion and commitment and I believe that they are the best representatives of what an educated democratic society is,” said State Sen. Jacqueline Collins, (D) Chicago.
The bill has the support of a number of House members but there is plenty of opposition as well. A group of gun owners went to Springfield last week to lobby.
The Illinois National Rifle Association says there are already laws to track legal gun sales.
…or so it would seem. How else would you describe the shooting and framing of an unarmed man?
For the anti-rights crowd, plug your ears with your fingers and keep repeating this mantra:
“Only the police and the military should have firearms.”

Louisiana shooting puzzles witnesses
By Howard Witt
March 17, 2009Reporting from Homer, La. — On the last afternoon of his life, Bernard Monroe was hosting a cookout for family and friends in front of his dilapidated home in this small northern Louisiana town.Throat cancer had left the 73-year-old retired electric utility worker unable to talk, but family members said he clearly was enjoying the commotion of a dozen of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren cavorting in the grassless yard.
Then the Homer police showed up, two white officers whose arrival caused the participants at the black family’s gathering to fall silent.
Within moments, Monroe was dead, shot by one of the officers as his family looked on.
Monroe’s friends and relatives say they still don’t understand why the neighborhood patriarch ended up dead.
Four witnesses said he was sitting outside his home in the late afternoon on Feb. 20 — clutching a large sports-drink bottle — when two police officers pulled up and summoned over his son, Shawn.
Shawn Monroe, who has a long record of arrests and convictions on charges of assault and battery but was not wanted on any warrants, reportedly ran into the house.
One of the officers, who had been on Homer’s police force only a few weeks, chased after him and reappeared moments later in the doorway, the witnesses said.
Meanwhile, the elder Monroe had started walking toward the front door. When he got to the first step on the porch, the witnesses said, the rookie officer opened fire, striking Monroe several times.
“He just shot him through the screen door,” said Denise Nicholson, a family friend who said she was standing a few feet away. “After [Monroe] was on the ground, we kept asking the officer to call an ambulance, but all he did was get on his radio and say, ‘Officer in distress.’ “
The witnesses said the second officer picked up a handgun that Monroe, an avid hunter, always kept in plain sight on the porch for protection. Using a latex glove, the officer grasped the gun by its handle, the witnesses said, and ordered everyone to back away. The next thing they said they saw was the gun next to Monroe’s body.
“I saw him pick up the gun off the porch,” Marcus Frazier said. “I said, ‘What are you doing?’ The cop told me, ‘Shut the hell up, you don’t know what you’re talking about.’ “
Homer police maintain Monroe was holding a loaded gun when he was shot, but would not comment further.
What if the really could make each cartridge cost $5000?
From The Shootist:
…
Now it has come clear…now we know what they intend to do.It is an end-run around Congress. They don’t need to try to ban guns–they don’t need to fight a massive battle to attempt gun registration, or limit “assault” weapon sales.
Nope. All they have to do is limit the amount of ammunition available to the civilian market, and when bullets dry up, guns will be useless.
Think we jest?
Here are copies of two letters sent to Georgia Arms just Thursday evening–effectively cancelling a contract he had to purchase 30,000 pounds of expended military brass in .223, 7.62mm, and .50 caliber:
Dear Valued Customer:
Please take a moment to note important changes set forth by the Defense Logistics Agency:
Recently it has been determined that fired munitions of all calibers, shapes and sizes have been designated to be Demil code B. As a result and in conjunction with DLA’s current Demil code B policy, this notice will serve as official notification which requires Scrap Venture (SV) to implement mutilation as a condition of sale for all sales of fired munitions effective immediately. This notice also requires SV to immediately cease delivery of any fired munitions that have been recently sold or on active term contracts, unless the material has been mutilated prior to sale or SV personnel can attest to the mutilation after delivery. A certificate of destruction is required in either case.
Thank you,

How else would you describe a judge mandating that homeschooled children, who have consistently tested well above their grade level, be placed in public school? Could it be the state wants a monopoly on what thoughts and ideas children are exposed to?
Judge orders homeschoolers into public district classrooms
Decides children need more ‘focus’ despite testing above grade levels
By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDailyA North Carolina judge has ordered three children to attend public schools this fall because the homeschooling their mother has provided over the last four years needs to be “challenged.”
The children, however, have tested above their grade levels – by as much as two years.
The decision is raising eyebrows among homeschooling families, and one friend of the mother has launched a website to publicize the issue.
The ruling was made by Judge Ned Mangum of Wake County, who was handling a divorce proceeding for Thomas and Venessa Mills.
A statement released by a publicist working for the mother, whose children now are 10, 11 and 12, said Mangum stripped her of her right to decide what is best for her children’s education.
The judge, when contacted by WND, explained his goal in ordering the children to register and attend a public school was to make sure they have a “more well-rounded education.”
“I thought Ms. Mills had done a good job [in homeschooling],” he said. “It was great for them to have that access, and [I had] no problems with homeschooling. I said public schooling would be a good complement.”
The judge said the husband has not been supportive of his wife’s homeschooling, and “it accomplished its purposes. It now was appropriate to have them back in public school.”
Mangum said he made the determination on his guiding principle, “What’s in the best interest of the minor children,” and conceded it was putting his judgment in place of the mother’s.
