Focusing on guns and politics, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

John Lott has discovered the expected media bias in the coverage of Governor Spitzer's scandal--two of the three major broadcast networks failed to identify Spitzer as a Democrat. You know as well as I do that had he been a Republican, they would have been all over it:

This is an unmitigated outrage. Uncle reports that the Feds have threatened fellow gun blogger David Codrea at The War on Guns. They also apparently threatened Ryan Horsely at Red's Trading Post as well. Read the whole enraging horse shit here:

Uncle has another one that simply makes my skin crawl with rage. A Judge has told a news reporter that she cannot get financial help to pay her court costs. Of course, this means the Judge is trying to force testimony, which I thought was against the law. Read all about this menace to society here:

Here is David Codrea's post on the Feds' threat to his right to free speech:
