"When we had scores of kids legally carrying guns to school every week, there were no shootings. Now guns are absolutely forbidden in schools � even administrators and teachers can�t have them � and we do have shootings. And the left is blaming this on "easy availability of guns."
Sorry, doesn�t compute.

"One of President Clinton's favorite boasts is his claim he put 100,000 new cops on the streets."
"But, despite $9 billion in federal spending, the Community Oriented Policing Service's (COPS) 100,000 new police claim is another Washington fraud. "Voodoo math" was how one Florida police chief characterized the Clinton administration's success claims."
"Mr. Clinton's new cops are often nothing more than federally paid purchases of laptop computers." |

The surrealistic level of over taxation simply does not strike a clear chord with most people. The hidden taxes, the income tax withholding structure, the taxes of unfunded mandates for citizens..."
"...The percentage of national income gobbled by government is at the highest level since the Second World War; soon it will surpass that feverish level of guns before butter expenditures and become the highest percentage in our history..." |

"Federal appellate judges want the California Supreme Court to answer a question it has managed to avoid: Can cities and counties in the state pass their own gun-control laws?"
"...the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday it needed to know how much leeway California law gave local governments to regulate firearms...."
"A state appellate court struck down San Francisco's local ban on handgun possession in 1982 and ruled that cities and counties had no authority to regulate gun possession. But another appellate court upheld West Hollywood's ban on cheap handguns known as Saturday Night Specials in 1998 and ruled that a city could outlaw a gun that was legal in other parts of the state." |

"Gun prohibitionists endlessly repeat the mantra that high rates of juvenile gun crime are due to the increased availability and lethality of firearms. This theory is dangerous. And it's nonsense."
"First, mere availability of firearms does not turn juveniles into criminals..."
"Moreover, the assumption that firearms are more available to young people is not true..."
"...youths have had ready access to deadly weapons from the first day that Indian settlers crossed the Bering Strait." |

"Four hulking, rapid-fire machine guns the State Department reluctantly bought for drug-fighting helicopters in Colombia were pulled from service after they repeatedly malfunctioned and threw the aircraft off-balance."
"The Gau-19 Gatling guns, which the administration bought for a total of $2.1 million at the urging of key Republicans and Colombian police, are so expensive to operate they threaten to "eat up our budget ... faster than it could possibly chew up narco-terrorists..."

"Sen. John McCain, chairing the Commerce Committee hearing, said it was up to the industry to clean up its act and criticized Hollywood executives for declining to testify at the hearing."
"By some uncanny coincidence every single studio executive was either out of the country or unavailable," the Arizona Republican said in prepared testimony. "I can only conclude the industry was too ashamed of, or unable to defend, their marketing practices."

"When three armed robbers burst into St. Matthew's Anglican Traditional Church 20 minutes into the Sunday morning service, Sheena Shirley dropped to her knees and began praying the "Our Father."
"As one of the robbers pressed the barrel of his gun against her salt-and-pepper hair, the retired schoolteacher paused from prayer long enough to dig into her purse and hand over her money..."
Gov. Bush in Texas signed law allowing carry in churches. Bethca won't see this happening in Texas! These South Africans are reaping the "benefits" of gun restrictions. |

Anti-self-defense people beating up Colorado legislator Tancredo (Rep.) - who lives IN Columbine. He didn't take kindly to it:
"I need no one to remind me how it (Columbine) happened or what happened," the freshman lawmaker tersely replied. He called his colleagues' references to the shootings "disrespectful."
"Tell me about Columbine? You don't have to tell me a thing about Columbine. . . . I've had it. I'm not going to let them get by with it." |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. � James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
