ONE MORE PUSH TO END THE CLINTON GUN BAN With only five days to go before the September 13th expiration of the 1994 Clinton gun ban, anti-gun activists across the nation are making a last stand to re-enact this ineffective legislation. But now time is running out. Congress is only in session three more days before the sunset, and because time is short, anti-gunners will be redoubling their efforts to extend the ban. Originally enacted in 1994, the Clinton crime bill banned gun ownership by law-abiding citizens as the solution to violent crime. But anti-gun politicians were only able to pass the portion of the law banning military-style semi-automatic firearms after agreeing to "sunset" the ban in a decade.
Proponents of the ban have not been able to offer a shred of evidence over ten years that the Clinton gun ban has reduced crime. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) commissioned an independent study that concluded, "We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation's recent drop in gun violence. And, indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence." Even one extremist gun ban group, the Violence Policy Center, has admitted that continuing the ban will not "make one whit of difference one way or another . . . if it doesn't pass, it doesn't pass." (National Public Radio, 3/11/2004)
Since the gun banners are trying now to persuade Members of Congress to renew the Clinton Gun Ban, we ask you to call, fax and e-mail your Representative today. Urge your Member of Congress to publicly oppose renewal of the ban and instead to support legislation that will actually remove violent criminals from America's streets. Please urge your family, friends and fellow hunters and shooters to do the same. Help dismantle part of the anti-gun Clinton legacy by acting today!

To all of you who think that Kerry and his buddies are not dangerous to our collective rights, you should read his record in the Senate about 1) what he terms as the Assault weapon of today. 2)How he has never missed a vote restricting and limiting our freedoms as they exist, and 3) The lengths he will go to for an election win without revealing his true identity. He and the Brady people are not dead, but silent, and stealthily waiting for their chance to impose upon us all; the Draconian gun legislation of Canada, to include reloading components and the like. A vote for Kerry/ Edwards is a vote that puts crooks, terrorists and the left wingers at ease about trampling our other Civil Liberties, and GOD forbid our lives... Chasseur. |

Withing the last 10 yrs in this country alone, well over 70 people have been beaten to death with golf clubs.... Why is no one calling for their restriction or ban???
Is it because John Wayne or Charton Heston never did a golf movie? Me thinks that just may be the case..... Almost any hand held item, with a little imagination, can be used as a weapon .... or a tool. I'm guessing "some day", if they are not stopped, they'll be wanting to take away our pocket knives, framing hammers, and chain saws as well. |

did anybody see his campaign in WV where he accepted a remington 11-87 semi-auto shotgun, a gun that will be banned if he gets into office.
and did you hear how 50bmg's were banned in california monday when swarzeneger snuck it in. why would anybody with any brains ban a 50bmgi have NEVER heard of ANYBODY murdered with one, its really not a weapon of choice, weighing in 25-40 lbs, with enough muzzle blast to tear things apart, i dont think we really have to worry about anybody killing with them, not to mention the noise level.

There are some things that are core issues to the Democrats and I have never seen them go the other way, except for Bob Casey... Most Democrats give the Right to Life to the mother, not the baby because of whatever screw is loose in their head's. But they do side on the same side as those who would save the Spotted Owl from destruction, and whatever other liberal issue they can find, which is not altogether bad... Some things do have merit. Then they take the right of the people to protect themselves from an armed/unarmed home intrusion or terrorist assault, or from answering a call to an organized militia. We think that because John Kerry accepted a semi auto shotgun in public that he won't do anything against we the gun owner's of these United States, once elected in office?!?!?? Are you sure that your political scope of things hasn't been fogged, by the Very Democrat that these Email replies were designed to countdown.... The Bill Clinton Gun BAN.... Are you sure you are fully awake?? Don't get sleepy on us, without telling another of us, so we can watch your post too!! But we all have to be on guard for freedom... The Democrats did not mention those things that upset the vast majority of voters in the mainstream of things, because they want this to be a sneak attack on the White house. They never mention those things in the Convention, because they know that most American's do not favor Same Sex Marriages, and a loss of Freedom; so that we can look more like Canada in the area of gun control. I once went through a 12 hour search of my private vehicle, because the border guard thought that I was trying to smuggle a handgun into Canada. He found a magazine and 6 bullets. Before 09/11/01 Even though I assured him that I knew better and that I was not so stupid as to try this, he wanted to know what color my handgun was, the serial number's of it/them, whether they were registered by the police... All manner of things. He would take my word that I was an American citizen because of my residence in Pennsylvania, but not that I wasn't trying to smuggle illegal firearms into his country... He asked if anyone was at home who could verify that these hand guns were safely locked up... Was the ammunition separated from the gun's themselves?... Who could verify this? A full search of my being, was conducted. I was frisked. Nonetheless, after all of this,I had to call a lawyer. I complied as much as possible, considering they have no jurisdiction, nor business enforcing these things. It is our right to Privacy. I kept seeing a sign in the Custom's office. Hunting in Canada... Big experience... Small Price Only if you place so little value on your right to own and responsibly use firearms!
I guess it all boils down to this. How much do you trust that Kerry will do what he says he will do once elected?? Do you really trust him like we trusted President Bill Clinton, because we saw him carrying a shotgun on a hunt from the Duck's Unlimited hunt he was on??? Now, was it this week or last week that Kerry was for the war, and against the funding of it? Or is he for the soldiers, and against the politicians who are keeping them there? Is he warm on the concept of taking action, but short on the delivery of seeing it through to the end? Real Freedom always has a high price, otherwise everyone could have it and it would not be so valued...... That is why our flag is predominantly RED. Many paid with their very lives!
I do not think that we really thought all of this, Terrorist Hunt, through very well before we comitted ourselves to enforcing the U.N. directives, however I do know who I trust, to see us through this... And he doesn't live in Massachusettes!
I know each man must make up his own mind, and carefully weigh his decisions on this matter... But let me ask you this.... If someone hands you a firearm under Presidency of George Bush, your first obligation to yourselves and other's is to verify that it is unloaded. For safety's sake. Under John Kerry's reign, you won't be asked to handle any more firearms. They will be pointed at you demanding all of your's... Which do you want? Respectfully submitted, Chasseur106

Thanks Chris, I haven't been on this site for a while, and it feels good to be back. THe question that you asked me several months ago concerning which manufacturer required a trip overseas, because of faulty workmanship/ as well as other problems, was HAKKO. I bought one anyway because of it's light weight. Thanks. |
