Defiant Teens offers to retrain (recondition?) your problem kids. Free Youth describes them this way:
"Parents who disapprove of their child's behavior, for any reason, can pay a company called Adolescent Services International (ASI) to abduct their child, smuggle them overseas, and then put them in prison camps where any form of brutality can - and is - used to force the child to conform to the parent's wishes. In remote facilities far from the public eye, in countries with little or no laws on human rights, young people are threatened, illegally restrained, and beaten, all to get them to submit to the will of the parents."I can't find pricing information on this site. Free Youth says $30000 which makes sending your kid to an up-scale boot camp a yuppie thing. Maybe they be paying too much attention to affording a million dollar life in the burbs and not enough to their kid, eh?

Project Tocsin, "was founded in Sacramento CA in 1991 by Jerry Sloan and Marghe Covino because they saw a need for and organization to monitor the political activities of Religious Political Extremists in Sacramento County." This looks like a one man show (they don't even have their own domain name.). They (or he) believes the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" is real and has a chart to prove it. (Oh, I wish! I've long believed that the VRWC had no existence before Hillary called it's name and invoked it into existance. "They're having a conspiracy against these creeps and noone told me! I want in!").

"But the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights is indeed a well-crafted sentence. By that I mean that its syntax permits only one reasonable interpretation of the author's meaning, namely, that the people's individual right to be armed ought to be respected and that the resulting armed populace will be secure against tyranny, invasion, and crime. Someone completely ignorant of the eighteenth-century American political debates but familiar with the English language should be able to make out the meaning easily."
Aabstract: Using cross-sectional time-series data for U.S. counties from 1977 to 1992, we find that allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes, with-out increasing accidental deaths. If those states without right-to-carry concealed gun provisions had adopted them in 1992, county- and state-level data indicate that approximately 1,500 murders would have been avoided yearly. Similarly, we predict that rapes would have declined by over 4,000, robbery by over 11,000, and aggra-vated assaults by over 60,000. We also find criminals substituting into property crimes involving stealth, where the probability of contact between the criminal and the victim is minimal. Further, higher arrest and conviction rates consistently reduce crime. The estimated annual gain from all remaining states adopting these laws was at least $5.74 billion in 1992. The annual social benefit from an additional con-cealed handgun permit is as high as $5,000.

We are determined to speak, write and petition Presbyterians and the Presbyteries as a first step in communicating to our church leadership that a serious breach has occurred between the church and the membership on matters of great importance to our freedom."
The World's Smallest Self Defense Quiz
"Because less than twenty years ago I was the target of a terrorist group. It was the New World Liberation Front. They blew up power stations and put a bomb at my home when my husband was dying of cancer. And the bomb didn't detonate. ... I was very lucky. But, I thought of what might have happened. Later the same group shot out all the windows of my home."And, I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I'd walk to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me."
"Unable to enforce a ban on weapons in courthouses, the Association of County Commissions of Alabama is pushing a bill that would make possessing a firearm in county buildings, including courtrooms and schools, a misdemeanor offense."

"analysts found a dramatically tilted debate in favor of gun control. In 653 gun policy stories, those advocating more gun control outnumbered stories opposing gun control by 357 to 36, or a ratio of almost 10 to 1, while 260 were categorized as neutral. Anti-gun soundbites were twice as frequent as pro-gun ones--412 to 209--while 471 soundbites were neutral. Gun control advocates appeared on the morning shows as guests on 82 occasions, compared to just 37 for gun-rights activists and 58 neutral spokesmen."
