Newsmax In an effort to trim its high murder rate, Brazil's government has virtually outlawed possession of handguns in public by almost everyone, with the exception of police, soldiers, prison guards and security officers. The law, which took effect shortly before Christmas, is being hailed by opponents of gun rights as a bold new social experiment they hope will reduce murder rates. However, other countries that have tried this not-so-new type of "bold social experiment" have had unhappy results. Nations that have severely restricted and banned firearms have seen their crime rates increase. The United Kingdom, after banning ownership and possession of most guns in 1997, saw its crime and murder rates skyrocket, according to government figures. The same phenomenon occurred in Australia. Socialist Sweden, despite its peacenick reputation and attacks on gun rights, has a higher murder rate than the United States, Interpol has revealed. In the U.S., a sweeping federal review of anti-gun laws has found no evidence they reduce violence. An Aug. 5, 2000 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found the Brady law had not affected the number of gun homicides, though supporters promised it would when it was passed during the Clinton administration in the mid-1990s. In Canada, a disastrous attempt at requiring registration of guns has been a boondoggle costing $1 billion and rising. In Brazil, authorities have also implemented tough new measures against anyone engaging in illegal sales of weapons. Such offenders now face lengthy prison terms with no bail. The law also raises the minimum age of gun ownership from 21 to 25, and requires every gun buyer to be subjected to a background check. Meanwhile, a report in the New York Times said, all other gun owners are being informed they will likely have to turn in their weapons within six months. And socialist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who signed what officials are calling the disarmament act Dec. 23, is also planning a national referendum in 2005, in which voters will decide on a ban on all handgun sales in Brazil. "This is an expression of the unanimous will of society to cut the spiral of violence that unsettles us and embarrasses us before humanity," Lula da Silva said when signing the bill. A homicide occurs in his country about once every 12 minutes, said the president, and "this statute is certainly not the solution to everything, but it is an exceptional step forward." Brazil, a country of about 182 million people, has more murders by firearm annually – roughly 40,000, the Washington Post reports – than the United States, with a population of 292 million (the U.S. firearms murder rate in 2003 was about 29,000, the paper said). And, despite opposition to the new rules by Brazilian gun rights groups and National Rifle Association, polls there indicate most people – 80 percent – support both new rules. Sixty-seven percent said they supported a ban on the ownership of all guns. Gun rights groups lobbied lawmakers hard to reject the bill. Officials in Brazil say that about 2 million guns are legally registered but that the number of unregistered guns in a country larger than the contiguous 48 United States is as high as 20 million. 'Mercy of the Criminals' Gun makers in Brazil and elsewhere say criminals will continue to buy firearms on the black market or will smuggle them in, meaning the new rules will leave the law-abiding public unarmed and vulnerable. "Brazil, which is struggling for equality, has just passed a law that leaves the poor at the mercy of the criminals," said Renato Conil, a vice president at Forjas Taurus, Brazil's largest gun-maker. "Now it's only the victim that will be disarmed." But gun control supporters said claims by opponents that the law will have no effect on the black market industry argue a third of the 77,000 weapons seized by police since 1951 were purchased legally.

Already observers are weighing in on what Obama could do in the key decision on replacements for the highest court in the land. "It is quite likely he would choose a woman or a minority," said Nathaniel Persily, a law professor at Columbia University in New York. "If he could find a Hispanic woman, that would be ideal, the best choice," he added. Only two women have served on the Supreme Court, and two African-Americans have succeeded one another in the same seat, but never has an judge with a Latino background been appointed. Hispanics are an ever-growing demographic in the United States, making up 15 percent of the population. But beyond the race or sex of the candidate, observers are gearing up for appointments of politically progressive judges to the bench to replace the older liberals sitting on it today. John Paul Stevens, appointed by president Gerald Ford, is 88 years old, and is expected to resign soon. The nine justices are appointed for life. Widely considered to be on the liberal side of the court, Stevens' replacement with another liberal would maintain the bench's fragile balance. Currently four conservatives, four liberals, with the moderate Anthony Kennedy holding the middle ground, compose a balance Obama is expected to sustain. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 75, appointed by president Bill Clinton, is another liberal lifer also expected to resign within Obama's first term in office. During Obama's campaign the Democrat hinted at what he expected of his appointees, and certainly could surprise conservative commentators expecting him to name someone more radical to the post. "His pick might be radical, not in the ideology but in the background," noted Persily. Obama could pick someone who has not made a career in the judicial system, for example a politician or law professor, he added. The president-elect has said he would take his own experience into account in making the decision. "I taught constitutional law for 10 years and when you look what makes a great Supreme Court justice, it's not just the particular issue and how they rule but it's their conception of the court," said Obama in a interview during his campaign. Traditionally the two major parties, Democrats and Republicans, have split firmly on their judgment of what the Supreme Court can and can't do for the evolution of American society. Republicans have forcibly lobbied for judges who strictly adhere to the constitution, and criticized Democrat appointees who attempt to advance societal norms in a way they call "legislating from the bench." A slew of controversial issues such as gay marriage, abortion rights, gun ownership, the death penalty, privacy and the Internet are all likely to resurface in coming years. Many in the weakened Republican party fear the more liberal judges could make sweeping changes in law that could serve as precedent throughout the nation. But in the hubbub surrounding Obama's projected appointments, his friend Cass Sunstein, a preeminent American legal scholar at Harvard University, Massachusetts -- where Obama himself studied -- noted a fact often overlooked. "The first thing to know about Obama, which hasn't gotten sufficient attention, is that he is himself appointable to the Supreme Court," Sunstein said. "He is a constitutional specialist who has taught for many years. There's a guarantee that we'd get someone of the first intellectual rank." "Not Harriet Miers," he added, referring to the ultra-conservative lawyer nominated by President George W. Bush, and who was withdrawn when criticized across the political spectrum for never having served as a judge and being ill-prepared and uninformed.

Been a member for a few years... I always give extra every year !!!!!!

Thanks for the nice words !!!!!!!!!

I was a gym rat for 32 years back in CT... moved to TN last year and now train at home... I am 55 and don't lift as heavy as I use too.. plus a few injuries and now train 3 to 4 days a week with weights and ride a stationary bike 2 or 3 times a week... I was going to enter the SPF Record Breakers contest in Chattanooga Tn.( Raw Bench Press )Masters (55-59) year old 259 Weight Class .... but it's 3 hours from where I live... I think I could do well in my age group for a raw bench... If they have a conest a little closer I will enter it... I use to take Taekwondo but stopped some years ago... I use to love to workout and was in good shape and strong but I stopped squatting and doing dead lifts ( bad left knee.). but my bench is decent for a 55 year old .. I think it helps my shooting... This is my home gym..

I saw one at Guns & leather about 11 Months ago ... if I hit the power ball might think about getting one The Nighthawk Masters Edition looks like the same work... Masters Edition The Masters Edition is not something new to Nighthawk Custom®, but we've never offered them publicly before. We have built a few for customers that wanted something that showcased the craftsmanship of our master gunsmiths. Since they were so well received, we decided to add them to our line. The Masters Edition is completely hand built. The slide and frame are hand lapped. A match grade full-fit barrel is used, with each locking lug filed down by hand to get a lock up that is tight as a bank vault. Next comes the extractor, firing pin stop, safeties, etc. Each part is precision fit to make this gun a true work of art and form. After the build process, we send it to a master engraver with over 20 years of experience in single action Colts. He applies a tasteful amount of hand engraving. Each one is signed by the engraver under the right grip panel. The gun is then sent off to have your choice of a hard chrome or a nickel finish applied, and when it returns, the engraving is inked in to really make it stand out. The grips are made from real elephant ivory tusks and the Nighthawk Custom® logo is laser engraved on each panel, or can be left blank if you prefer. After the weapon is completed, we put it in a dark green velvet lined mahogany locking case that is custom made for it.
