- July 19, 2000: Government requires 11-year-old girl to pay $335 license fee and install sink in front-yard lemonade stand. Apparently, the doting parents of eleven year old Caitlin Rezak made her front-yard lemonade stand look too professional in Longmont, Colorado. Her father built her a neat little kiosk and her mother sewed her a good-looking awning and sign to go with it. Next thing she knows there is a bureaucrat from the health inspector's office sitting in a car across the street looking her over. Next, she was "inspecting" her operation and demanding that Caitlin install a sink and pony up a $335 license fee. Naturally, she couldn't, so she was out of business until a front-page picture in the Denver Rocky Mountain News brought her plight to the attention of Denverites, who offered to come up with the money and the sink. So now she's back in business making some extra summer money as do many youngsters. But she's now licensed and has a shiny new sink, thanks to the bureaucrat who tried to put her out of business. How long do you suppose it will take her to sell enough lemonade to pay for the cost of the sink and license? (Source: Denver Rocky Mountain News, July 19, 2000)

- June 29, 2000: California Supreme Court rules there is no right to keep and bear arms in California. Here is an excerpt from their decision:
‘‘This fundamental right plaintiffs locate in article 1, section 1 of the California Constitution, which provides: ‘‘All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.’’ If plaintiffs are implying that a right to bear arms is one of the rights recognized in the California Constitution’s declaration of rights, they are simply wrong. No mention is made in it of a right to bear arms. (See In re Rameriz (1924) 193 Cal. 633, 651 [‘‘The constitution of this state contains no provision on the subject.’’].) Moreover, ‘‘[i]t is long since settled in this state that regulation of firearms is a proper police function.’’ (Galvan v. Superior Court (1969) 70 Cal.2d 851, 866.) We reject any suggestion that the regulations at issue here impermissibly infringe upon the right to defend life or protect property guaranteed by the California Constitution.’’
