More than 300 legal and illegal weapons were taken off the streets Saturday through a Nassau County gun buyback session at a Uniondale church. The three-hour event at Grace Cathedral International was part of a joint effort by the Nassau County police and the district attorney’s office as they combat gun violence and seek to improve neighborhood safety, officials said. A diverse crowd — many wearing sunglasses, hoods and baseball caps into [...] From David Galland, Managing Director, Casey Research: Every nation-state has a body of laws woven into the fabric of society. As Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto has commented on extensively, the stronger the rule of law, the stronger the economy. And by “stronger” laws, I mean laws that are impervious to tampering for personal or political gains. The connection between a sound judiciary and economic health is readily comprehensible, except maybe to [...] Daniel Silva Spanish police fired rubber bullets and charged protestors in central Madrid early Friday at the end of a huge demonstration against economic crisis measures. The protest was one of over 80 demonstrations called by unions across the county against civil servant pay cuts and tax hikes which drew tens of thousands of people, including police and firefighters wearing their helmets.
