At a hearing to dismiss charges against Guzman last month, Miami Federal Judge William Hoeveler posed a pointed query: "Is there any question in anybody's mind that this man is not only a thief but a scoundrel?" After defense attorneys began compiling Portell's history, the DEA removed him from its payroll. Guzman, who returns to court this week, may not be the last woman to fall for the dashing Don Juan...

Nowhere does the Constitution say the right to bear arms means the right to bear any or all arms. Which arms is the real issue. At present, firepower has outstripped the law's power to contain it within rational limits...
