Uses suicide, domestic violence and victim death statistics to argue against self-defense with handguns. Advocates relying on technology, avoidance and ignorance for safety instead of studying proper gun usage. No mention of unreported defensive use of firearms. |

"Two gunmakers who challenged Congress' authority to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of semiautomatic assault weapons lost a Supreme Court appeal Monday."
"The court, without comment, rejected an appeal that said Congress exceeded its power to regulate interstate commerce when it outlawed such weapons in 1994." |

"For some, attending a candlelight vigil at Esther Short Park was an opportunity to spread the word about more gun control and safety."
"For others, it was a chance to rally for gun owners."
"But for all attending the Million Mom March demonstration ---- whether in protest or support ---- the vigil was a time to voice concern about children and guns." |

The pro gun quote from an anti-gun article:
``We want to stress that these people's hearts are in the right place but they are totally misguided,' said Larry Savage, organizer of the pro-gun protesters. ``We favor education over fear. We need to teach our children what to do if they find a gun.'

"A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by gun owners who said a state law banning target practice on human images violates their rights."
"In a terse, two-page opinion issued Sept. 28, U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole dismissed the challenge of the Massachusetts Gun Control Act of 1998, brought by the Gun Owners Action League and other pro-gun groups." ===== Clinton targets would sell like hotcakes...Reno and Hillary a close second and third. |

REALLY nasty article against Bush and the Texas concealed carry law:
"More than 400 people were issued licenses to carry concealed guns in Texas despite prior convictions under a law Gov. George W. Bush, the Republican presidential nominee, signed in 1995, saying it would make the state ``a safer place.' ===== When it comes down to it, I'd rather have a few felons accidentally get guns and have 200,000 good guys have them than none of them at all... |

The boy told deputies and school officials he brought the gun because he was having problems with other students.
"We were very surprised at what happened. This is very uncommon," said Robert Clouatre, Ascension Parish school superintendent. Clouatre said the system has experienced only one similar incident in the last 10 years. ===== Thank you, Media, for widely spreading the word about taking guns to school. Thank you, Hollywood, for glorifying gun misuse. |

"The LSU School of Social Work and the Alliance for Justice erected 60 crosses draped in children's clothing to represent the number of school-age children who die weekly from gun violence in the United States." ===== Where they get their numbers is a mystery, but they ain't gettin' 'em from REALITY. A coke dealing 15 year old shooting at somebody IS NOT a kid anymore. Yes, kids die, but nowhere NEAR that number... |

"A bank robbery suspect being held in leg irons in a hospital allegedly grabbed a guard's gun, shot off his chains and fled in the nude, leading police on a car and foot chase that ended with officers shooting him in his buttocks." ===== They still haven't even charged the guy. Wonder if he's innocent and simply trying to get free...but not sitting down too well right about now... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
