Russian MPs suggest allowing public use of firearms shortly after Colorado shootings

Guns goin’ back in the U.S., back in the U.S., back in the U.S.S.R.

Following the shooting spree in a Colorado cinema, Russian legislators have drafted a bill which would allow public use of firearms. The law’s sponsors hope to curb crime rates, while opponents say legal air-guns already cause enough damage.

The principle behind the drafted bill allowing the private use of handguns is “my home is my castle,” so any invasion of private space could be met with loaded barrels.

Aleksandr Torshin, who drafted the bill, says pistol owners might get divided into several groups. Some would be sanctioned to use weapons to protect their homes only, while others would be authorized to take handguns in their cars. The most privileged group would be permitted to carry pistols anywhere. This third category could include postmen, ambulance staff and social workers.

Tonya Reaves, Planned Parenthood and the art of downplaying a ‘tragedy’

Posted on by

As reported Tuesday by ABC News, the family of 24-year-old Tonya Reaves – the Chicago woman who died after hemorrhaging during an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic — has hired a lawyer to help them decide whether to take legal action.

“We’re just trying to get all the facts from the incident and determine what the best course of action is,” Corey Meyer, the family’s lawyer, said. “We’re still getting information.”

As reported Sunday by Fox News, Florida Republican Rep. Cliff Stearns and the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List have called for congressional oversight in the wake of Reaves’ death.

President Obama finally admits he wants more gun control

Posted on by

Playing on the recent shooting in Aurora, Colorado and the general misconception of the Second Amendment taught in public school, President Obama finally admitted that he wants to take guns away from citizens. England used the protection of hunting rights argument to disarm their people and have recently started confiscating hunting weapons, as well. According to Federalist Paper No. 29, the Second Amendment allows citizens to own any weapon or equipment in the arsenal of the United States Armed Forces. The idea of the militia—not the National Guard—was to protect the natural rights of American citizens.

It is interesting that he speaks for gun owners saying that they agree that AK-47’s belong on the battlefield. These are among the weapons that this administration sold to the Mexican drug cartels which killed an Arizona citizen, Brian Terry. In addition, Obama and McCain declared the United States a “battlefield” by signing the National Defense Authorization Act with indefinite detention articles contained in it.

A group of legal experts have published a report detailing “abusive and unlawful protest regulation and policing practices” by New York police in response to Occupy Wall Street protests.

The report, Suppressing Protest: Human Rights Violations in the U.S. Response to Occupy Wall Street, examines treatment of protestors and journalists by local, state, and federal authorities from September 2011 through July 2012.

The eight-month investigation – carried out by law clinics at NYU, Fordham, Harvard and Stanford – documents instances in which authorities acted in ways that “suppress and chill protest rights” and violate international obligations to respect free assembly and expression.
