If religions can have limits, why can't gun owners?
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsI got a lot of feedback on my Sunday column/letter to the NRA, but in the spirit of the season I figured I'd wait until after the holidays to fire back. At the end of the column, I rhetorically asked,......Tags: Separation of Church and State, U.S. Congress, Personal Weapon Control, Religion and Belief, Physical Fitness and Exercise

Connecticut school massacre: Why?
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsEvery gun massacre is horrible, but this seems worst of all. If the preliminary reports are true, a gunman (or perhaps gunmen?) might have massacred an entire kindergarten class at an elementary school in Connecticut. Twenty children, six adults and......Tags: Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, Personal Weapon Control, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Politics, Gun Control

Here's to more chills and thrills in 2012
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsA chilly burst to kick off 2012 in South Florida (I love sweater weather) and in print today I tried to bring some warming chuckles with a humorous look at some possibilities for the year ahead.

Trayvon Martin death shows the perils of Stand Your Ground law
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsWe've seen it before in Florida, and we'll see it again. A confrontation turns deadly, with shots fired under questionable circumstances. People wonder whether the shooter overreacted, and whether the response was disproportionate to the threat. In the...Tags: Laws, Trayvon Martin, Crime, Law and Justice, Justice System, Judges

Trayvon Martin death: How did Stand Your Ground pass Senate 39-0?
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsThirty-nine yeas, zero nays. Hard to believe that such a bad bill could have been approved unanimously, but it was. When the so-called Stand Your Ground bill went to a vote in the Florida Senate on March 25, 2005, the......Tags: Fort Lauderdale, Trayvon Martin, Chris Smith (New Jersey Politician), Democratic Party, Jeb Bush

Stephen Goldstein: Think NRA was winner? Not so fast
The NRA has won the battle but lost the war. The best thing that happened to gun control is its defeat in Congress. Today's losers (Obama, Democrats, the 90 percent of Americans who support sane legislation) will be tomorrow's winners. Today's winners...Tags: U.S. Congress, Gabrielle Giffords, Tampa, Personal Weapon Control, Dianne Feinstein

Thankfully, There Is No Right To Own Bombs
The Hartford CourantIn the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, I was thinking how thankful we, the American people, should be that the right to bear bombs was not included in the Second Amendment. If bombs were part of the Second Amendment, the National Rifle...Tags: Laws, U.S. Congress, Media Industry, Crime, Law and Justice, ABC (tv network)

Washington draws the wrong lessons from Boston
Ordinary people, elected and unelected, behaved heroically last week. Unfortunately, it all happened hundreds of miles from Washington. In Boston, strangers gave clothes and shelter to shivering runners. They comforted injured spectators. They saved...Tags: U.S. Congress, Personal Weapon Control, U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Elections, Patrick Leahy

Resolute, but with an asterisk
WASHINGTON -- The nation demonstrated again last week how resolute it can be when threatened by murderous terrorists -- and how helpless when ordered to heel by smug lobbyists for the gun industry. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's deadly rampage through...

Can Fort Lauderdale compel background checks at gun show?
A showdown is brewing between Fort Lauderdale and the Ohio-based company that has long held gun shows at the city-owned War Memorial Auditorium. The city has clamped down on the arms-bazaar excesses of the show, and a lawyer for Suncoast Gun Shows say...Tags: Fort Lauderdale, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Government, Politics, Public Officials
