"The recent spate of horrifying and highly publicized attacks in schools has once again brought attention to a longstanding problem. Unfortunately none of the 'solutions' being suggested touch on one of the real core issues of the matter. The inalienable human right to self-defense and the just and righteous use of violence in exercising that right - even for children."
"For decades the teacher unions, national PTA, and a variety of other educational/behavioral 'experts' have actively worked to instill the notion ... that, 'violence never solves anything.' They have instituted 'Zero Tolerance' policies for violence in schools, which mandate suspension or expulsion for anyone participating in any violent behavior such as fighting." ... |

"As another election draws near, it is important to remember why every gun owner must get themselves, their family, and their friends to the polls. Alan Korwin, distinguished author of several books focusing on the political climate concerning firearms, is helping to remind us. He has reproduced 'The Left Wing's Gun Plan' describing goals of certain political leaders' plans to further erode our firearm rights. He claims that the list of goals was widely circulated during the Clinton Administration and was adopted as a Five Year Plan. Voting the wrong people into office next month could set this Five Year Plan into motion. How would you feel about some of the items on this list that have been included below:" ... |

"It's that time of year about the election and one big topic I'm always hearing about is gun control or anti gun talk. These are brought up by people who have never fired a gun nor understand the whole point of a gun. A gun is not meant as a self defense tool although many people believe it is. It's a sport, a game. You and a few buddies take the guns out and have small competitions. Nothing different then shooting basketball or playing baseball. The reasons people think guns are bad are because of two reasons which I�m going to address." ... |

"It may have been a joke, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg generated new buzz Monday about a possible run for the White House."
"'I don't want to fuel speculation, but I'd be thrilled to be a constituent of the mayor's,' said Bloomberg standing with Washintgon, DC mayor hopeful, Adrian Fenty."
"The mayor has repeatedly denied rumors he wants to be president."
"The Republican billionaire has said when his second term ends he will leave politics for philanthropy. But one of the mayor's top advisors says Bloomberg should consider running as an independent." ...
"Bloomberg has been busy raising his national profile, traveling the country, speaking out on issues like gun control and the environment."
"Despite what the mayor says in public, it's the right strategy for someone thinking of running for president." |

"The Glock .45 that killed little Tylib Bailey-Henderson is a powerful handgun with a light trigger-pull, according to the experts."
"But Chad Ramsey, Pennsylvania field director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said a gun owner can put an external safety lock on the weapon to prevent it from being fired."
"'There is also an internal safety on the trigger that prevents it from going off if it is dropped,' he said."
"Ramsey said the firearm weighs about 2 pounds fully loaded and is 6 to 7 inches long."
"'For this type of weapon it takes about 5 � pounds of pressure to squeeze the trigger, whereas on a normal semi-automatic it can take up to about 9 pounds of pressure,' Ramsey added." ... |

"Sayers' attorney, Daniel Ellis, had filed a motion with the court to dismiss the charges, which was denied. Ellis then filed a Motion to Reconsider and Clarify alleging that the court did not address three issues:"
"1)Sayers was the subject of a felony stop and that the requirement to inform police he was carrying a firearm would have been self-incrimination ..."
"2)The Oregon ordinance prohibiting carrying of all firearms is unconstitutional"
"3)The distinction of carrying open vs. concealed"

"The United States' violent crime rate is similar to that of other modern nations, but our lethal violence rate dwarfs theirs."
"Easy gun access is a major factor that must not be ignored. Most Americans favor common-sense laws that hold people accountable when they irresponsibly put guns into the wrong hands. But because of misinformation, many people believe that guns are already heavily regulated. In Minnesota, anyone can buy a firearm at a gun show or flea market or through a newspaper ad ..." ...

"Aug. 1, 1966. On the campus of the University of Texas stood the Austin Texas Tower, 300 feet tall. It was a hot summer day, and in 96 minutes, 14 people were shot and killed, and another 40 wounded." ...
"Since then, this country has experienced countless other school shootings. The same cries have arisen from these acts of brutality. Anti-gunners scream for more laws. Schools have tried to protect the students from outsiders, and from other students. Legislators have enacted laws preventing guns on school grounds. The press drums the images into our heads. We are bombarded with the sad, the grieving ... and speculate what made these normal people turn into monsters. No answer because there is none." ... |

"The program is called 'Response Options' and involves kids and teachers attacking an armed intruder as soon as he enters their classroom."
"They're told to run at the gunman, grab him by the legs, stab him with pens and pencils, throw stuff at his head, and scream the whole time."

"I knew it was going to happen. Someone eventually was going to call for more gun control after the recent school shootings."
"Guns are not evil; people are. Guns don't point themselves at anyone; people point them and pull the trigger. Stop thinking of it as "gun violence," think of it as violence! That is what we need to address in this country."
"Each of us has a God-given right to self-defense, and a constitutional right to self-defense with a firearm. You cannot deny someone's rights just because you prefer to trust the government to protect you. I don't. Look what trusting the government did for Teri Lee, a mother killed by an ex-boyfriend. ... She followed the legal system to the letter and the result was her death." |

The militia of our Constitution is predicated upon individuals owning their own firearms." ...

The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
