Duncan’s Philp fury of Hate. By Roscoe Thorndyke In fort Collins Colorado and surrounding areas the Patriots of American had a common enemy.

I was involved in the patriot movement though out the Clinton era and even into the Bush presidency well. During the nineteen nineties Duncan Philp was heavily involved with skinheads and the Christian Identity movement. Mean while freedom loving...

While National Rifle Association officials have been denying that they've been orchestrating a sellout in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) -- an NRA Director -- has been working on an ammunition ban. On the Senate floor today, he introduced, discussed, defended and tried to justify the "Craig/Frist" amendment. This amendment, said Craig, is needed "to strengthen current armor piercing ammunition law." NRA's point-man in the U.S. Senate says that this is "what the law enforcement community needs." "We don't want to wipe out the hunting and sporting ammunition," said Craig. The "sporting purpose" test was used before --...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Senate agreement requiring child safety locks on U.S. handguns gave Democrats encouragement Thursday that renewing an assault weapons ban might also become part of a package to protect gun makers and sellers from gun crime lawsuits. The GOP-controlled Senate voted 70-27 to require all handguns sold in the United States to have child safety locks, adding the measure to the legislation providing the gun industry immunity from suits when a legally sold gun is subsequently used in a crime. Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Herb Kohl of Wisconsin argued that requiring child safety locks...

<p>President Bush urged the Senate to pass a bill that would protect gun dealers and manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits but without any amendments that would extend the assault-weapons ban or close gun-show loopholes.</p> <p>"The administration urges the Senate to pass a clean bill, in order to ensure enactment of the legislation this year," the president said in a statement released late Tuesday. "Any amendment that would delay enactment of the bill beyond this year is unacceptable."</p>

<p>The Patriot Act has become a magnet for claims that the government is violating our individual rights. Yesterday, the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks heard testimony from several prominent law professors on the dangers of the Act. Last month, Al Gore called for the Act's repeal, accused the Bush administration of suspending civil liberties, and claimed that the government was using "fear as a political tool to consolidate its power and to escape any accountability for its use." Democratic front-runner Howard Dean has called the Act "morally wrong," "shameful," and "unconstitutional." Many cities have refused to assist the federal government in its implementation.</p>

Support the Citizens' Self-Defense Act THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ALERT: ISSUE: Recently, we alerted you to yet another instance of an over-zealous prosecutor pressing charges against a homeowner that used a gun to protect his family against a home invader. Unfortunately, this happens more than anyone cares to admit. Now, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) has introduced HR 648, "The Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2003", to counter these mis-directed prosecutions and blatant violations of American citizens' Second Amendment rights. HR 648 was introduced to "protect the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use firearms in defense of self, family,...

The opposite ends of the political spectrum are coming together over the war on terror, but not in the way Attorney General John Ashcroft may have wanted. Some conservative groups are finding common ground with organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Bill of Rights Defense Council, expressing concerns about the effect that the USA Patriot Act and a possible follow-up law, the Domestic Security Enhancement Act, could have on civil liberties. Liberal critics have directed much of their worry at what they saw as an attack on immigrants' rights in the Patriot Act, the massive measure...

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court plunged into the gun debate Tuesday, agreeing to decide whether the government can keep secret information on some gun purchases and crimes, including details of database checks like those used to track weapons in the sniper case. The Bush administration, backed by the National Rifle Association and a police group, claims that confidential records are needed to safeguard investigations and protect people's privacy. Critics say the administration's policy keeps the public in the dark about gun violence and how well crime-fighters are doing. At issue for the Supreme Court is the scope of a...

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) -- Questioning of the two sniper suspects was halted when federal agents took custody of the pair, possibly preventing investigators from obtaining information about the shooting spree, a local law enforcement source complained Wednesday. The dispute was one of the very earliest clashes among prosecutors over which jurisdiction would take the lead role in pursuing a case against John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17. After a three-week manhunt covering the entire Washington region, Muhammad and Malvo were arrested Oct. 24 at a Maryland rest stop on a federal charge and were questioned that morning...

After the Commerce Department withheld official sponsorship of a similar event on its premises - and President Bush turned down a request by a government employee group to recognize June as "Gay and Lesbian Pride Month" - family groups expressed disappointment that the Justice Department, under conservative Attorney General John Ashcroft, gave the go-ahead for the celebration.

<p>No jurisdiction in the United States works as doggedly to disarm citizens as does the District of Columbia, our nation's capital and on-again, off-again murder capital. Sure, the city council grudgingly legalized pepper spray in 1993 (provided, of course, that it's properly registered). But that brief concession to self-defense hasn't led to any revision of the District's gun laws, which are still among the most restrictive in America.</p>

Brown Feb. 23, 2002 Politics and public opinion may have turned against the anti-gun lobby, but their burning hatred for guns and gun owners hasn't cooled. Laws passed during the anti-gun witch hunts of the 1990s provide them with a satisfying way to take punitive action against harmless gun owners.
