It's nice to see NRA management's Project Gulag being described as what it is -- an ANTI-GUN program.
Check out the quote by the NRA flack. Instead of refuting the study with facts and counter-statistics, he attacks the character of the study authors, calling them ivory tower stuffed shirts.
This is the typical tactic of someone who can�t refute an argument with truth and logic, so he resorts to name-calling.
This is the best they can do? Just pathetic. |

"Since the Government's 'total ban' five years ago, there are more and more guns being used by more and more criminals in more and more crimes. Now, in the wake of Birmingham's New Year bloodbath, there are calls for the total ban to be made even more total: if the gangs refuse to obey the existing laws, we'll just pass more laws for them not to obey. According to a UN survey from last month, England and Wales now have the highest crime rate of the world's 20 leading nations..." |

The headline is misleading.

Benjamin Franklin was confronted with the same dilemma we face today: war with a foreign power, Americans dying, and some of his countrymen saying that national security would have to take precedence over civil liberty." |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
