Franklin County ranks ninth in Kansas for population growth from 1997 to 1998 with an estimated 24 768 residents, up 541 or 2 2 percent.

He cites historical references and urges stronger protections.

Neototalitarians demonize the NRA in gun control debate
Charley Reese argues neototalitarians frame gun control as a battle between good and an evil NRA demon. He states the NRA is a historic sporting group not a gun lobby, backing enforcement and harsh penalties for firearm crimes while criticizing broad, restrictive laws. He recalls Brady Bill history and Founding Fathers arming the people.
