Right out of the gate in his opinion piece about so-called �smart guns� in the New York Daily News� Sunday edition, Washington Ceasefire�s Ralph Fascitelli perpetuates the false impression that �gun violence� somehow accounts for the �almost 34,000 Americans (that) die from firearms annually.�
Fascitelli knows that roughly two-thirds of annual firearms-related deaths are suicides, not criminal violence. That�s why Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, has been a driving force in creating a �Safer Homes� suicide prevention project in the Evergreen State. |

TO REMEMBER |
| These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women. � Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Intro. (Dec. 1776). |
