- NYT Lock and Load - Supreme Court Ruling on Gun Rights
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  That last part is the final indignity of the decision: when the justices go to work at the Supreme Court, guns will still be banned. When most Americans show up at their own jobs, they will not have that protection. This audaciously harmful decision, which hands the far right a victory it has sought for decades, is a powerful reminder of why voters need to have the Supreme Court firmly in mind when they vote for the president this fall. Senator John McCain has said he would appoint justices like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito - both of whom supported this decision. If the court is allowed to tip even further to the far right, there will be even more damage done to the rights and the safety of Americans.

- 'Wash Post' Reveals: Virginia Tech Killer Bought First Gun Online
  Posted by Jeff from Editor and Publisher
  "Dowdy said he cannot be sure that Cho purchased the gun online but that is the most likely explanation for why another vendor would have sent it to the pawnshop for Cho. "Both transactions were legal. Unlike some other states, Virginia has no waiting period before purchasing a handgun; nor does it require registration."

An extremely well written argument against yesterday’s right-wing ruling on the Court.

This Patriot’s Day massacre gives all of us pause. At height of the war in Yugoslavia the day of the most intense bombing is four days from today – April 20th. The same day when two kids went bowling in the morning and by early afternoon executed themselves, a teacher and their classmates in Littleton, CO (1999).
What has a westernized, violence-glorifying culture achieved with its latest record-setting carnage? More cause for denial, it appears. No, it definitely was not another white guy losing it in public with weapons of his choice. No, this culture, which extols the values of raiders, is not in decline and the least fulfilling one for most of its citizens than any other industrialized country.

Guns are far too easy to get.

Is 22 dead enough people to protect unarmed civilians from uncontrolled gun owners? Just because we choose not to own guns doesn’t mean we should continue to be shot down by those who can so easily get guns without even having to register.
