Authorities check gun shops for clues. Investigators hunting the Washington area sniper have cast the net far and wide over the region's gun community -- confiscating sign-in logs from shooting ranges, tracking sales of .223-caliber weapons and knocking on gun owners' doors. 'Based on what they said to me, it seemed they were checking everyone who owned any gun that shoots that [.223-caliber] ammunition,' Mr. Scott said. Some gun owners reported that ATF agents had taken people's rifles to perform test-firing experiments and later returned the weapons. The Washington Times could not confirm the reports. [FirearmNews.com] That's the BATF for you. They aren't capable of doing anything useful, so instead they engage in intrusive, unconstitutional fishing expeditions. I also came across a first-hand account of what the Feds are up to via a mailing list. comment () trackback ()  11:27:47 PM     Congrats to Daniel Berlinger on the release of Archipelago 2.0, a Macintosh desktop editor for Manila and Radio sites, and tools that conform to the Blogger and Metaweblog APIs.

[OpinionJournal] An editorial from 1993 on the foolishness of Clinton's approach to North Korea's nuclear weapons program. The Wall Street Journal "reprinted" it on their web site since recent events have proven it correct. comment () trackback ()  9:21:20 AM
