How ironic the notion of women defending themselves by using a firearm, should become trendy given the PC nightmare of the past 8 years.

I was in Indianapolis past few days, & all the hotel offered in the way of cable news, was CNN.
The Leftist sleeze extruder continually ran a "news" ribbon at the screen's bottom saying gun sales in Texas are up 100%, & CC lic applications were going ballistic.

Given who it was running those ribbons I wondered, "What's CNN's angle here reporting those stats; just what are those Leftist ticks up to, anyway..."

VPC is trying to lay the blame on "American gun manufacturers" for supplying the terrorist element of Afghanis with guns.

The members of the Violence Policy Center have gone beyond the realm of tastelessness in their eagerness to exploit the grief of Americans to continue their agenda of disarming law-abiding citizens. Naomi Seligman's organization continues to utilize the fraudulent and debunked studies of Kellermann, as well as conveniently forgetting that the horror of September 11th was committed totally without the benefit of firearms.

The Violence Policy Center made no mention in their press release or on their website the U.S. government's past assistance in arming Afghanis against Soviet occupation.

VPC and Ms. Seligman have risen to their grossest level of incompetence and desperation in attempting to make their agenda an issue under these circumstances Lacking the courage to address whatever their concerns may be about our government's involvement in arming Afghanistan in the past against the Soviet Union, instead they attempt to lay blame on "the gun industry".

I know that the founders of Liberty Belles have the stomach to take up any grievances they have with the U.S. government on the issue of gun control.

Since VPC is too cowardly to do likewise with their issues, they attempt once again to underestimate the intelligence of the American people through a press release that proves nothing but the VPC's own desperation to remain relevant in the eyes of their moneyed, misinformed supporters.

(And the same goes for Sarah Brady...I'm extraordinarily sorry about what happened to her husband, but disarming the good citizens of America is NOT the answer, Sarah!!)

What hotel/chain? I'd love to send them a consumer complaint letter about their TV service.
