What Part Of "Shall Not Be Infringed" Don't You Understand?: Laurel (MS)
PDt Detective Michael Reaves is a supporter of the Second Amendment,

point he is looking down the barrel of an assault rifle, then his
support naturally wavers...

Why Invest In A Good Holster: Police said a gun fired after a church
service Sunday when the owner hugged his granddaughter. Danny Newton was
carrying his handgun in a holster at Trinity Baptist Church Sunday when
the gun went off. When his 7-year-old granddaughter gave him a hug, she
touched the butt of the gun, causing the gun to go off.

From California Rifle & Pistol Association: As a life member of the
CRPA, I continue receiving their monthly magazine, despite my exodus
from that state seven years ago. The August issue contains a useful tip
for those who may not have an electronic home-alarm system but have a
vehicle with a keyless remote device:
"Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside
your home or someone trying to get into your house, just press the panic
button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will
continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies."
(Actually, I think most systems now have a time limit.)

A Clear Choice: Second Amendment Champion vs. Politician Who Treats Your
Rights With Disdain

Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,
Our Second Amendment rights are at stake in the Republican primary in
Michigan's 7th congressional district, and the choice is clear: Tim
Walberg is a consistent defender of second amendment rights, while
Congressman Joe Schwarz is not.
The election is coming up soon, on August 8th, so please read on and act
quickly.
Tim Walberg vigorously defended our Second Amendment rights during his
16 years in the Michigan House of Representatives. He is an avid
sportsman and understands the Second Amendment is a constitutionally
protected individual right. Tim is the type of principled, bold fighter
for gun owner rights that we need in Congress.
Tim's opponent, Congressman Joe Schwarz is no friend of gun owners.
Schwarz does not believe the Second Amendment is an individual right
(Detroit Free Press, 7-5-02). Schwarz opposed Michigan's concealed-carry
law and even called it "nuts" (MIRS, 8-31-02). Beyond opposing
pro-Second Amendment legislation, Schwarz called gun
owners "bubbas" (MIRS, 8-31-02) and described gun owners as "the
foaming, salivating concealed weapons crew" (MIRS, 8-31-02).
Joe Schwarz has brought his anti-gun philosophy to Congress. On June 28,
Schwarz opposed a pro-gun amendment to repeal a mandatory trigger lock
requirement.
Gun Owners of America is dedicated to preserving and defending our
Second Amendment rights. Firearms ownership is a freedom issue and Tim
Walberg is the only consistent defender of freedom in this race. GOA-PVF
proudly endorses Tim Walberg for Congress.
However, one person alone cannot win an election, so please join me in
supporting Walberg for Congress. This primary race is highly
competitive, and the side that mobilizes best will win.
The election is fast approaching. Your donation of $100, $75, $50, or
$35 will go a long way in helping Tim reach out to undecided voters.
Even if you don't live in Michigan, it is important that you help to
elect this pro-gun champion.
You can use the enclosed reply form and mail a contribution directly to
the campaign at 6769 Teachout Road, Tipton, MI 49287.
Even better since time is short, visit the special webform just for GOA
supporters at
http://www.walbergforcongress.com/goa/ to make an online
contribution.
GOA supporters have come through in the past. With your help, over 15
GOA-backed candidates won in the previous congressional elections.
Now we have an opportunity to improve our numbers even more in this
August 8th primary.
By working together we will send Tim Walberg to Congress, where he will
be a leader and trusted fighter for the Second Amendment rights of all
Americans.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy
Vice-Chairman
P.S. If you live in the 7th Congressional District, please remember to
vote in the August 8 Republican primary.
Even if you live outside the district, Tim will be ardently representing
your views in Washington. Please consider a generous contribution to the
Walberg campaign using either the online form at
