KABA NOTE: The article notes that HUD said that authorities haven't shown much interest (only 100 of the 1,000 developments had been participating), and that nobody could guarantee that the "buy-backs" were getting criminal's guns off the streets.

"One of the things I've noticed lately is that the government, at all levels, seems to be going out of its way to do things that enrage the citizens... Is the idea to push us so hard that we'll inevitably fight back so they can use the army to "crush us?" It's a known fact that the first people to rebel will be those most likely to rebel. It's an efficient way to get those people to "reveal themselves" so they can be "taken out." --Ray Thomas

"Fifteen American children die from gunshot wounds every day."

--true if you count GANG BANGERS shot by cops or other GANG BANGERS

and also said:

"In 1996, 9,390 Americans were murdered by gunfire."

--which ignores the fact that most of those "murdered" simply lost a gunfight they initiated.

He bought 40 acres in the subdivision in the early 1970s after his discharge from the Army and runs a few cows, just to keep the grass down."

And his neighbors have reported to the police that they "think hes capable of going over the edge and hurting someone," and that "Theres a pattern of anti-social behavior" that they fear "is leading to a serious confrontation."
