Keeping all those new Westerners fed may prove challenging. A recent survey from the U.S. Department of Agriculture finds that nearly 11 percent of Americans are "food insecure," meaning they don't know where their next meal is coming from. New Mexicans suffer the second-highest rate of food insecurity 16.1 percent - in the country (Mississippi's rate is 18.1 percent). Compared to 1996 figures, California and Washington have seen slight drops in the number of hungry citizens, while in Utah, despite the primary religion's emphasis on food storage, about 4 percent more people now don't have enough to eat. Also a potential hazard in national parks: Forty-seven U.S. senators, led by Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, recently signed a letter asking Interior secretary Dirk Kempthorne to lift the ban on ca...

Virginia finally is poised to repeal its unusual law that prohibits law-abiding citizens from buying more than one gun per month. It's about time, because the red tape has not had the desired effect in lowering crime. There is no academic research by criminologists or economists that shows that one-gun-a-month regulations reduce crime in either the states that pass them or their neighbors. The laws have merely inconvenienced honest Americans who want to buy guns. Besides Virginia, only Maryland, California and New Jersey still have these laws. South Carolina was the first state to adopt the restrictions in 1976 but repealed the limit in 2004. New Jersey has had the law on the books for less than two months now.
An individual is identified as a gang member based on certain criteria, including the following: Admits gang membership or association; is observed to associate on a regular basis with known gang members; has tattoos indicating gang membership; wears gang clothing, symbols, etc., to identify with a specific gang; is in a photograph with known gang members and/or uses gang-related hand guns; name on a gang document, hit list or gang-related graffiti. Anti-gang laws often result in "gang enhancement," which significantly increases penalties imposed for a "gang-related" offense. Gang enhancement laws can impose sentences which far exceed criminal law penalties for the same offense. In California, youth can face a life sentence in an adult prison for a residential robbery if it is deemed to...

The Protect Children Not Guns report is being released as a number of U.S. mayors are demanding action from the White House and Congress to stunt gun violence. In April, 15 mayors gathered for a summit on gun violence led by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. I strongly applaud Mayor Bloomberg's statement that "It is time for national leadership in the war on gun violence." But sadly, for tens of thousands of children and teens, long overdue leadership in the war on gun violence will come too late. The seven states that recorded the most firearms deaths among children and teens in 2003 were California, Texas, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina. The U.S. has the immoral distinction of having the highest rate of child firearm deaths....

Seattle police identified Larry Shawn Taylor, 18, as the man who robbed two women at gunpoint, after the victims described the robber as a short black man with deformed ears who had "MOB" shaved into one side of his hair and "GET MONEY" on the other and "GET" tattooed on his right hand and "MONEY" on his left. Detectives used their database to match the tattoos to Taylor, who was apprehended after an officer stopped a car for reckless driving and recognized him by his ears and tattoos. (KOMO News) Col. Russell Williams, 47, the former commander of Canada's largest air force base who served as the pilot for Britain's Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip during their 2005 visit, pleaded guilty to the murder of two women, two sexual assaults, two charges of unlawful confinement and 82 counts ...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, announced last week that she wants to register guns. Her next move will be to try to confiscate them. The speaker picked a television show with a viewership of 4.6 million to float the Democrats' coming gun-control push. Questioned on ABC's "Good Morning America" about the prospect of new gun- control laws now that "it's a Democratic president, a Democratic House," she responded, "We don't want to take their guns away. We want them registered.
