"Democrats suffer from the misconception that if they don't talk about guns, some gun advocates might support them. They are wrong. The true believers won't -- ever. But a vast middle ground of people in vote-rich urban and suburban areas will support gun-control candidates, especially when their opponents have toed the gun-lobby line. Those are the votes that can be won." --Joseph P. Sudbay, former Political Director for Handgun Control, Inc. |

""Who the blazes does the UN think it is, trying to tell a sovereign nation under constitutional law what it can or cannot do inside its own boundaries? Its handy-dandy little U.S. world-police that is paid for by American tax dollars and in American lives? ... The way the UN is acting, it would encourage freedom-loving Americans to gather up all the weaponry they can find ... just in case the UN comes in and tries to take over...." --Dorothy Anne Seese |

"Parents do a reasonably good job of making their homes safe for children, with one major exception: they don't lock their guns away where children can't get them. ... The safest way to avoid a firearm injury in the home is to remove guns from the home."
--That's interesting, since more children die each year from parents leaving POISONous chemicals where children can reach them, and from drowning in swimming pools and 5-gallon buckets, than from gunshots. |

The Internet site of the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC.de) was developed as a "help desk for practical disarmament."
The BICC recommends that surplus stocks of weapons be destroyed after a conflict so they can't be recycled and used in other fights. The center also suggested that peacekeepers offer cash, food vouchers, or farm tools as incentives for people to turn in weapons. |

Jean Saul was at home when four men broke in, robbed her at gunpoint, tied her up, and raped her. Her husband was tied up next to her during the whole thing. "They told my husband 'We've got AIDS and we're going to rape your wife,'" Jean Saul remembers.
Now ... when she drives at night, she carries a gun. "I can carry it in my hand when I am driving. I don't feel that if I am hijacked I'd have to fiddle around for a gun. I've got it in my hand and there's no surprise." |

~ The fact is, the user failed to adhere to the most basic of safety precautions: she wasn't pointing the muzzle of her loaded gun in a safe direction -- she was pointing it at the torso of her son. |

"The Americans refused to accept any language that could halt the sale of weapons to foreign militias, citing the need to keep open the option of aiding groups fighting genocidal regimes. The United States, citing the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, also demanded that the document be stripped of limits on the civilian ownership of guns."
~ And the UN conceeded. Imagine that!! |

The KansasCityStar -- Gun-control proponents fear that Ashcroft's broader interpretation may encourage legal challenges, on constitutional grounds, of federal laws denying certain types of guns to certain types of people.
"The NRA is certainly getting their money's worth from the last election," said Amy Stilwell of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence ["formerly Handgun Control, Inc.] |

"The deadly standoff July 13 raises important questions about police policies that need to be addressed... This is too good of a man for this to happen to. If it can happen to Dick, it could happen to anybody. I just thank God that we have him back."
Go to this web site and get the latest on excessive force by a swat team. Pretty scary reading when you think of it happening to you. The local media had him convicted of capitol murder before he was even charged. |

McCain's Obsession With Teddy Roosevelt Has GOP Worried He Will Bolt in 2004 And Run as an Independent
~ As far as I am concerned the Republican Party would be a better party without McCain. They should refuse to give him any support in the next election. As far as I am concerned John McCain is a Democrat. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. � Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
