Once Again?: I'm not sure if I shared this a few years back but it's
certainly worth a second look -

It's amazing what one has to believe to believe in gun control:

That the more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.

That Washington DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to gun
control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to
the lack of gun control.

That "NYPD Blue" and "Miami Vice" are documentaries.

That an intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if
shot with a .44 Magnum will get angry and kill you.

That firearms in the hands of private citizens are the gravest threat to
world peace, and China, Pakistan and Korea can be trusted with nuclear
weapons.

That Charlton Heston as president of the NRA is a shill who should be
ignored, but Michael Douglas as a representative of Handgun Control,
Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is entitled to an audience at the UN
arms control summit.

That ordinary people, in the presence of guns, turn into slaughtering
butchers, and revert to normal when the weapon is removed.

That the New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice
about guns, just like Guns and Ammo has some excellent treatises on
heart surgery.

That one should consult an automotive engineer for safer seatbelts, a
civil engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for spinal paralysis, a
computer programmer for Y2K problems, and Sarah Brady for firearms
expertise.

That the "right of the people peaceably to assemble," the "right of the
people to be secure in their homes," "enumeration's herein of certain
rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the
people," "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states
respectively, and to the people," refer to individuals, but "the right
of the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the states.

That the 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1787, allows the states to have a
National Guard, created by act of Congress in 1917.

That the National Guard, paid by the federal government, occupying
property leased to the federal government, using weapons owned by the
federal government, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a state
agency.

That private citizens can't have handguns, because they serve no militia
purpose, even though the military has hundreds of thousands of them, and
private citizens can't have assault rifles, because they are military
weapons.

That it is reasonable for California to have a minimum 2 year sentence
for possessing but not using an assault rifle, and reasonable for
California to have a 6 month minimum sentence for raping a female police
officer.

That it is reasonable to jail people for carrying but not using guns,
but outrageous to jail people for possessing marijuana.

That minimum sentences violate civil rights, unless it's for possessing
a gun.

That door-to-door searches for drugs are a gross violation of civil
rights and a sign of fascism, but door-to-door searches for guns are a
reasonable solution to the "gun problem."

That the first amendment absolutely allows child pornography and threats
to kill cops, but doesn't apply to manuals on gun repair.

That Illinois' law that allows any government official from Governor to
dogcatcher to carry a gun is reasonable, and the law that prohibits any
private citizen, even one with 50 death threats on file and a
million-dollar jewelry business, is reasonable. And it isn't a sign of
police statism.

That free speech entitles one to own newspapers, transmitters,
computers, and typewriters, but self-defense only justifies bare hands.

That gun safety courses in school only encourage kids to commit
violence, but sex education in school doesn't encourage kids to have sex.

That the ready availability of guns today, with only a few government
forms, waiting periods, checks, infringements, ID, and fingerprinting,
is responsible for all the school shootings, compared to the lack of
school shootings in the 1950's and 1960's, which was caused by the
awkward availability of guns at any hardware store, gas station, and by
mail order.

That we must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a
shooting spree at any time and anyone who owns a gun out of fear of such
a lunatic is paranoid.

That there is too much explicit violence featuring guns on TV, and that
cities can sue gun manufacturers because people aren't aware of the
dangers involved with guns.

That the gun lobby's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign about kids
handling guns is propaganda, and the anti-gun lobby's attempt to run a
"don't touch" campaign is responsible social activity.

That the crime rate in America is decreasing because of gun control and
the increase in crime requires more gun control.

That 100 years after its founding, the NRA got into the politics of guns
from purely selfish motives, and 100 years after the Emancipation
Proclamation, the black civil rights movement was founded from purely
noble motives.

That statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control, and
statistics that show increasing murder rates after gun control are "just
statistics."

That we don't need guns against an oppressive government, because the
Constitution has internal safeguards, and we should ban and seize all
guns, therefore violating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments of that
Constitution, thereby becoming an oppressive government.

That guns are an ineffective means of self defense for rational adults,
but in the hands of an ignorant criminal become a threat to the fabric
of society.

That guns are so complex to use that special training is necessary to
use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.

That guns cause crime, which is why there are so many mass slayings at
gun shows.

That guns aren't necessary to national defense, which is why the army
only has 3 million of them.

That banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, and Chicago cops
need guns.

That the Constitution protects us, so we don't need guns, and can
confiscate them, thereby violating the 5th amendment of that constitution.

That women are just as intelligent and capable as men and a woman with a
gun is "an accident waiting to happen".

That women are just as intelligent and capable as men, and gun makers'
advertisements aimed at women are "preying on their fears."

That a handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the
typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has 20.

That a majority of the population supports gun control, just like a
majority of the population used to support owning slaves.

That one should ignore as idiots politicians who confuse Wicca with
Satanism and exaggerate the gay community as a threat to society, but
listen sagely to politicians who can refer to a self-loading small arm
as a "weapon of mass destruction" and an "assault weapon."

That Massachusetts is safer with bans on guns, which is why Teddy
Kennedy has machinegun toting guards.

That most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns,
which most people will abide by, because they can be trusted.

That a woman raped and strangled with her panties is morally superior to
a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.

That guns should be banned because of the danger involved, and live
reporting from the battlefield, which can keep the enemy informed of
troop deployments, getting thousands of troops killed and perhaps losing
a war, is a protected act that CANNOT be compromised on.

That the right of online child pornographers to exist cannot be
questioned because it is a constitutionally protected extension of the
Bill of Rights, and the claim that handguns are for self defense is
merely an excuse, and not really protected by the Bill of Rights.

That the ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts
of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts
of the Constitution.

That police operate in groups with backup, which is why they need larger
capacity magazines than civilians, who must face criminals alone, and
therefore need less ammunition.

That we should ban "Saturday Night Specials" and other inexpensive guns
because it's not fair that poor people have access to guns too.

That guns have no legitimate use, but alcohol does, which is why we
issue cops beer instead of guns.

That police and soldiers are the dregs of society who were unfit to get
any real job, which perfectly qualifies them with the high moral
standards and keen intellects to handle these complicated tools and be
our guardians.

From The NRA-ILA:

NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 12, No. 22 6/03/05

CONTINUE YOUR SUPPORT
FOR S. 397 AND H.R. 800

Last week, the House Judiciary Committee passed H.R. 800 (the House
version of the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," and the
companion bill to the Senate's S. 397) by a vote of 22-12 and ALL
proposed anti-gun amendments were defeated! This critically important
legislation would protect law-abiding firearm manufacturers from
reckless, predatory, and potentially bankrupting lawsuits.

The bill currently has 255 cosponsors in the House, 56 cosponsors in the
Senate, and has the full support of President Bush and numerous other
groups and associations.

As we continue to emphasize, it is imperative that you contact your U.S.
Senators and your U.S. Representative and ask them to cosponsor and
support S.397 and H.R. 800--without any anti-gun amendments--and put a
halt to these reckless lawsuits once and for all. Again, please be sure
to let your lawmakers know that you consider any votes in support of
anti-gun amendments to this legislation as votes against the bill itself.

To access the most up-to-date information on this issue, and to find out
if your lawmaker is a cosponsor, please go to the "Help Save America's
Firearms Industry" heading at, www.NRAILA.org <http://www.nraila.org/>.

TEXAS LEGISLATURE PASSES NINE PRO-GUN BILLS
IN THE 79TH REGULAR SESSION

Thanks to your phone calls and e-mails, the Texas Legislature adjourned
sine die on May 30, after having passed an unprecedented number of
pro-gun bills to protect hunting, benefit our troops in Iraq and
Afghanistan, further reform the state's Right-to-Carry law, and--at the
same time--expand your right to self-defense without a license:

* SB 734 by Sen. Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands) and Rep. Anna Mowery
(R-Fort Worth) protects hunting opportunities on private lands annexed
by municipalities (already signed by Governor Rick Perry (R));

* HB 225 by Rep. Joe Driver (R-Garland) and Sen. Bob Deuell
(R-Greenville) extends term of renewed concealed handgun licenses (CHLs)
from four to five years;

* HB 322 by Rep. Suzanna Hupp (R-Lampasas) and Sen. Craig Estes
(R-Wichita Falls) reduces fees and lowers the minimum age requirement
for a CHL from 21 to 18 for active military personnel;

* HB 685 by Rep. Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) and Sen. Leticia Van
de Putte (D-San Antonio) eliminates the range instruction portion of CHL
course for military personnel with handgun training (already signed by
Governor Rick Perry );

* HB 823 by Rep. Terry Keel (R-Austin) and Sen. Juan Hinojosa
(D-McAllen) legalizes the carrying of concealed handguns in private
vehicles without a CHL;

* HB 1038 by Rep. Carl Isett (R-Lubbock) and Sen. Kim Brimer (R-Fort
Worth) reduces CHL renewal fees for senior citizens;

* HB 1066 by Rep. Glenn Hegar (R-Katy) allows residents of all other
states to apply for Texas CHLs and streamlines requirements for other
states to qualify for CHL reciprocity with Texas (passed as an amendment
to HB 225 by Rep. Joe Driver and Sen. Bob Deuell);

* HB 1483 by Rep. Stephen Frost (D-Atlanta) and Sen. Kevin Eltife
(R-Tyler) expands possible methods of payment for CHL application fees, and

* HB 1831 by Rep. Robert Talton (R-Houston) and Sen. Juan Hinojosa
(D-McAllen) exempts certain deferred adjudications from definition of
"convicted" for CHL eligibility.

Special thanks go to House Speaker Tom Craddick (R) and Lt. Governor
David Dewhurst (R) for their leadership on these issues which are so
important to Texans' Second Amendment rights!

Governor Rick Perry (R) has until June 19 to sign the measures that he
has not yet already signed.

Additionally, all anti-gun measures were defeated this session!

DELAWARE CLUBS TO HOST NRA DAY

The Delaware State Sportsmen's Association will sponsor "NRA Day"--a
free day of gun safety and recreational shooting instruction for the
entire family--on Saturday, June 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the
Brandywine Hundred Rod & Gun Club, located on DE Route 9 and Thorntown
Road in Port Penn, DE.

"This event is an ideal opportunity for our community to learn what NRA
is all about-the safe, responsible use of firearms," said John Thompson,
President of the Delaware State Sportsmen's Association, the NRA state
affiliate. "Parents and youngsters who are new to shooting can learn gun
safety and basic marksmanship from NRA Certified Instructors. Those with
shooting experience will get the chance to try different disciplines and
socialize with other gun owners and NRA members."

NRA Day activities to be held include: shooting safety instruction;
rifle, shotgun, and pistol shooting; plus demonstrations of cowboy
action shooting and archery. All firearms, targets, ammunition, and eye
and ear protection will be provided. The event is open to the public and
admission is free. Refreshments will be available.

For more information, please call John Thompson at (302) 658-3070. To
learn more about other NRA programs, please go to www.nrahq.org

ARIZONA
A workshop sponsored by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) will be held Saturday, June 11, at the Lew Sorenson Recreation
Center, located at 11100 East Tanque Verde, near the Tanque Verde Loop
in Tucson. This is the second such workshop discussing shooting on
public lands in the Tucson area. The Forest Service and BLM will address
the public's involvement in the land use planning process, as they are
due to update their land use plans in the next year or two. In addition,
the Forest Service will state that they will be processing the permit
application of Tucson Rod and Gun Club for a new shooting range to be
built on the northeast side of Tucson. For further information about the
new shooting range please visit www.trgc.org <http://www.trgc.org/>. The
workshop is set to start at 1:00 p.m., and plans to adjourn by 4:00 p.m.
Please attend this important meeting.

CALIFORNIA
Anti-gun legislation, Senate Bill 357, was voted out of the Senate and
is to be considered in the Assembly. This bill would establish a program
requiring serialization of handgun ammunition to be enforced by the
Department of Justice. The manufacture, transfer, and possession of
non-serialized handgun ammunition after July 1, 2007, would be
considered a crime. SB 357 would also require ammunition vendors and
manufacturers to register with the Department of Justice. Please contact
members of the Assembly and ask them to oppose SB 357. Assembly Members
can be reached at (916) 319-20 (plus your 2-digit district number for
the last two numbers). Please make the call today! Assembly Bill 352 was
voted out of the Assembly and now moves to the Senate. AB 352 expands
the definition of "unsafe handguns" to include semi-automatic pistols
that are not designed and equipped with an array of microscopic
characters which identify the make, model, and serial number of the
istol by imprinting the characters on each cartridge case when the
firearm is discharged. This legislation could essentially ban all
semi-automatic pistols commonly used by California gun owners. Please
contact members of the Senate, and ask them to oppose AB 352. Please
encourage your friends, family, and fellow sportsmen to contact their
State Senators as well. Assembly Bill 996 is expected to be considered
by the Senate Public Safety Committee on June 7, at 9:30 a.m. AB 996
would require all retailers to display and sell ammunition in a manner
that is only accessible by an employee, not the purchaser. Any violation
of this measure would result in a misdemeanor. This bill has been voted
down twice during the 2005 Legislative Session because existing law
already makes it a crime to sell ammunition to a minor, or ammunition
designed for a handgun to anyone less than 21 years of age. Please
contact members of the Senate Public Safety Committee at (916) 651-4118
and ask them to oppose AB 996.

CONNECTICUT
SB 1195, which now contains the "Gun Traffickers Protection Act"
language, is headed to the House Floor for consideration. This bill
would make the failure to report a lost or stolen firearm within 72
hours a crime. Please call your State Representative today and urge
him/her to oppose SB 1195, the "Gun Traffickers Protection Act."

DELAWARE
On May 25, Governor Ruth Ann Minner (D) signed into law Senate Bill 46,
establishing a handgun deer hunting season in Delaware. The season will
be scheduled to run every January, from the first Saturday until the
second Saturday. To view the signed version of SB 46, which details
which handguns and calibers may be used in this special season, please
visit www.legis.state.de.us <http://www.legis.state.de.us/>. A special
thank you goes out to Governor Minner for her support of the bill, and
to Senator Robert Venables (D-21) for all of his hard work that went
into making this bill a great victory for Delaware's sportsmen!

ILLINOIS
The Illinois General Assembly adjourned this week, and the pro-gun
community fared exceptionally well. Several pro-gun bills were sent to
Governor Rod Blagojevich (D), and countless anti-gun bills were
defeated. Sent to Gov. Blagojevich were: SB 53, which allows for the
mail-order sale of ammunition to valid FOID Card holders; SB 57, a
watered down gun show bill that also calls for the destruction of the
State Police database on lawful firearm purchases; SB 123, which
requires that Social Security Numbers no longer be included on hunting
licenses; SB 251, which limits the liability a land owner can face if
someone is injured while hunting (or involved in hunting-related
activities) on the land owner's property; SB 2103, which makes
improvements to the existing range protection law; SB 2104, which sets
statewide standards for transporting firearms in vehicles; HB 132, which
establishes that the waiting period on firearm transfers starts when an
agreement to transfe is made, rather than when a background check is
called in; and HB 340, which waives the waiting period requirement when
trading one operating firearm for another. Unfortunately, also sent to
the Governor was SB 1333. This bill is similar to SB 57, but does not
contain the language requiring the destruction of the State Police
database on lawful firearm purchases. Fortunately, anti-gun extremists
failed to pass any of the gun show bills they originally called for,
which contained language far more restrictive than SB 57 and SB 1333. As
is generally the case with these gun banners, though, they tried to
present their failures as an actual victory. A recent release by the
Brady Campaign (the gun-ban organization formerly known as HCI) tried to
make lemonade out of the lemons handed them by the Illinois General
Assembly, and also misrepresented NRA's position. The Brady Campaign,
through its anti-gun collaborators in Illinois, the Illinois Council
Against Handgun Violence (ICHV), were actually promoting B 794
throughout this session, not the language contained in SB 57 and SB
1333. HB 794 contained far more restrictive language than what actually
passed, with the Brady Campaign/ICHV promoting it as a means to close
the imaginary Illinois gun show "loophole" these groups have recently
been touting. Even though anti-gun groups have historically admitted
there is no gun show "loophole" in Illinois, these extremists seemed
desperate to point to any sort of "victory" in the Land of Lincoln,
where their agenda was rejected time and time again. Crowing over the
passage of a severely watered down gun show bill seems to be the best
Brady/ICHV can hope for, at this time. But in an even more desperate
move, the Brady release falsely claimed NRA supported the watered down
language. In fact, NRA opposed SB 1333, the stand-alone bill, and only
supported SB 57 because of the language requiring the database
destruction. NRA has consistently said that there is no gun show
"loophole," either in Illinois or anywhere els, and we never supported
any language that creates new restrictions for gun shows in Illinois.
However, facing the real possibility that a gun show bill in some form
could pass (as exhibited by the passage of SB 1333), we did what we
could to ensure the language was as benign as possible, and that
law-abiding gun owners could benefit in some way. Thus, we ensured SB 57
contained the database destruction requirement. Just some of the other
anti-gun bills the General Assembly either defeated or failed to bring
up this year include: SB 219, which sought to make it an offense for
failing to report to the State Police the theft of a lawfully owned
firearm; SB 317 & SB 1332, one-handgun-a-month restrictions; SB 332 and
HB 990, which would have required FFL holders to obtain a dealer license
issued by the state; SB 546 and HB 794, the far more restrictive gun
show bills the anti gunners were actually promoting; HB 1098, which
sought to ban .50 cal. rifles; and HB 2414, which sought to ban certain
semi-automati rifles and shotguns, as well as .50 cal. rifles. We expect
anti-gun organizations to misrepresent the facts. But looking at this
scorecard, it's hard to imagine how the Brady Campaign/ICHV can be very
happy with what gun-banners experienced in Springfield this year.

NEW JERSEY
Tuesday, June 7, is Primary Election Day. To find out more information
about NRA-PVF-endorsed candidates, please call the NRA-ILA Grassroots
Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683).

NEW YORK
The Assembly approved several anti-gun bills last week. They include A
673, which creates the crimes of failure to store a weapon "safely" and
criminally negligent storage of a firearm; A 2302, which would prohibit
the retail sale of a handgun that does not contain a "child proofing" or
integrated safety device; A 4471/S 2590, which would ban the sale, use,
and possession of .50 caliber firearms; A 2345, which would impose new
restrictions on firearm dealers; and A 2466, an expansion of the state's
ban on so-called assault weapons. These measures now move to the Senate.
In addition, last Friday, Senator Frank Padavan (R-11) introduced S
5504, which is another bill to expand the state's ban on so-called
assault weapons. This bill is similar, but not identical to, A 2466.
Please contact your State Senator today and ask him/her to oppose all of
the above measures! You can reach your Senator by calling (518)
455-2800. A 4853-A, which would allow the use of rifles or hunting in
certain parts of the state, and A 6608, which would exempt shooting
ranges already in existence from new local noise ordinances, are two
NRA-supported measures in the New York Assembly. A 4853-A has been
referred to the Assembly Rules Committee, and A 6608 is now in the
Assembly Codes Committee. Please contact your Assemblymembers today and
urge him/her to support A 4853-A and A 6608! Your Assembly member can be
reached by calling (518) 455-4100. Finally, please make plans to join
NRA-ILA Election Volunteer Coordinator (EVC) Rich Mullin (NY-22), and
fellow NRA activists for a volunteer meeting on June 18, at 5:00 p.m.
The meeting will be held at Gander Mountain in the Seminar Room, located
at 528 Harry L. Drive, Johnson City, NY 13790. Please call Rich Mullin
at (607) 757-9657, or e-mail David Decker at [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> with any questions.

OKLAHOMA
House Bill 1243 has passed the Oklahoma Legislature and is now heading
to Governor Brad Henry's (D) desk for his signature. HB 1243 provides
employers and employees legal protection if a gun is taken from an
employee's vehicle and used to commit a crime. NRA-ILA would like to
give special thanks to Representative Greg Piatt (R-48) for his
dedication and persistence. We would also like to thank Senator Jay Paul
Gumm (D-6) the Senate sponsor, with final thanks to Speaker Todd Hiett
(R-29) and Senate Pro Tempore Mike Morgan (D-21), for bringing the bill
to the floor for its final vote. Please call Governor Henry at (405)
521-2342 and respectfully ask him to sign HB 1243.

OREGON

donations, or to assist the committee, please call Jim Jacobe at (503)
931-1629 or Wendy Coombs at (503) 871-0634.

SOUTH CAROLINA
The South Carolina General Assembly adjourned this week, and the
conference committee assigned to iron out the differences between the
House and Senate versions of H 3110, the Right-to-Carry reciprocity
bill, failed to come to a resolution. NRA has been working very closely
with legislators throughout this process, and will continue to do so.
The bill is still, technically, a viable piece of legislation, and NRA
remains committed to the passage of a clean bill that will correct the
current problems with South Carolina's Right-to-Carry reciprocity
situation.
