Penny Dean and Your Rights

Not surprisingly, here are the results, as told by a site that is anti-gun rights:

Last summer, 125 Chicago families lost loved ones in combat. But unlike the coffins draped in American flags returning home from Iraq, these contained victims of local gun violence. The city of Chicago had suffered nearly twice as many fatalities as all American soldiers in Iraq over the same period. Their battlefields were the streets of Chicago — the very streets now courting the 2016 Olympics.

This might be my favorite quote of the week:

The Senate easily confirmed the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. Only 31 Senators took seriously their oath to uphold the Constitution and voted against this radical anti-gun nominee, with 68 voting for confirmation.

That is the headline at <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/08/05/DI200...

CONCORD — New Hampshire residents who are denied licenses to carry concealed weapons and wish to appeal must take their cases to the local courts, the state Supreme Court upheld Friday.
