Gun Fearing Wussies Get Shot Down

From TownHall.com:

Appeals Court Shoots Down New York City Gun Law
The media have been telling us to watch the gun-control case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, where we await a decision about Americans' Second Amendment rights. But the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals just handed down an equally important gun decision that has additional implications against judicial supremacy.

The court, which convenes in New York City, shot down the longtime liberal dream of achieving gun control by suing gun manufacturers for crimes committed by firearms. In a remarkable decision, this federal appellate court dismissed City of New York v. Beretta U.S.A. Corp. and protected gun corporations against frivolous lawsuits in state and federal courts.

The lawsuit was brought by the City of New York in order to seek control over gun suppliers. At stake was not merely money but also whether liberals would obtain from judicial activists the gun control that the liberals could not get from legislatures.

Say what you will, liberals won't stop. They will drive past a gunshop or open up the Sunday paper and see the flyers from Bass Pro Shop and get the shakes. They will write letters to their congressmen, send faxes and emails to whomever demanding that evil guns (much like evil oil) be taken away from citizens whose only crime is to rely upon their own devices for protection. And they will refuse to defend themselves, but rather pay tribute to Big Government in the vain hope that they will be safe.

They just don't realize that 90% of cop training is not about crime prevention; it's about crime documentation. After. The. Fact.

Travel Advisory

This is a travel advisory for all men who are planning a trip to New York City any time in the future.

NYC Eyes Circumcision Push To Fight AIDS

NEW YORK - City health officials are considering a program to urge circumcision for men at high risk of HIV' - noting studies that the procedure can reduce the chances of getting the virus.

But Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday that he was still not sure what role the city should have, "whether it's something that the government should be involved in, or just giving advice and making sure that people get educated."

All you fellows out there who are fighting without a helmet in the Big Apple, you'd better keep Captain Winky under house arrest for a while.

About 65 percent of all male babies in the United States are circumcised, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

Those of you in the 35% minority, you guys know who you are... and the rest of us extend our sympathies.

Local AIDS activists had mixed feelings about the circumcision idea. Some doubted that encouraging circumcisions would significantly decrease infection rates, while others suggested the issue needs a study specific to New York.

"Should we proceed when we don't have hard data yet on the population here?" asked Peter Staley, a longtime AIDS activist and co-founder of ACT-UP New York.

Poor Peter has problems proceding without the data being hard. And the area hospitals are unsure if they can keep it up with the demand for the procedure. And I'm cutting it short before I get into more trouble.
