LOS ANGELES, CA - A healthy debate in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms "Gun Ownership vs. Gun Control: Which Makes Us Safer?" will feature the self-proclaimed "million" moms March vs. the Liberty Belles, a grassroots organization out of southern California. The debate is sponsored by Students for Individual Liberty and will be held at L.A. Harbor College in Wilmington, California on March 20, 2002.
Headlining the event is Liberty Belles Spokeswoman, Anna Zetchus Raetz and Million Mom March spokesman, Charles Blek. Both organizations represent women across the nation who hold diametrically opposing viewpoints on the issue of firearms ownership. Also participating in the debate are Randy Herrst of the Center for the Study of Crime and Jennifer Mendoza, a student in favor of gun control.
"You don't have to be a psychic to predict that this will be a lively and informative debate," declares Marian Hollenbeck, Director of Public Relations for Liberty Belles. "Liberty Belles is most grateful to Students For Individual Liberty for hosting this forum. It will give attendees the rare opportunity to see a representative for Million Mom March who actually agreed to engage in a formal debate with the Liberty Belles Spokeswoman, Anna Z. Raetz, an ardent defender of our Second Amendment rights. It is well past the time for students and the public to hear for themselves the arguments made for and against our right to keep and bear arms without the usual shielding of the gun control argument that the media usually practices."
L.A. Harbor College is located at 1111 Figueroa Place in Wilmington, California. The debate will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Seahawk Center. Admission is free, and all are invited to attend.

If you make him cry, please post video on the web!
The MMM's cowardice is not.
MAJOR BTTT for Anna and the Belles!
BTW, I wouldn't miss this for the world, AZR is going to kick some major league BUTT!!!!!!!
The question should be: Is Charles Blek a cross-dresser?
All things being equal, I would be inclined to agree with you. This being California, I would tend to suspect an ambush, replete with liberal hecklers disrupting the Liberty Belle's First Amendment right to free speech. Otherwise the Million Mommies would probably cut and run as you suggested.
Kellerman, who authored this pap, doesn't even believe it anymore!
Remember: Gun control increases violent crime by shifting the balance of power to the criminal while simultaneously disarming the law abiding citizen, thereby making them helpless victims.
Challenge any of them to put that sign in their front yards. Of course, they won't. The reason they won't is because the bad guys will know who doesn't have a gun. They will be less safe. Maybe they will get the point. (Have an 18 x 24 version of the sign there for the benefit of the audience. I think the gimmick will get attention.)
Interesting that MMM would not have Mary and Anna discuss the many laws that the 'thugs' that killed Matthew broke before committing murder. What 'law' did they consider as binding upon them?
An essay by Charles L. Blek, Jr., J.D.
Instead of proposing that gun owners names and addresses be recorded, those who don't believe in carrying guns are the ones that need to register. We should publish all of their names in the newspaper. WOuld they be willing to do that?
Who would you rather have living next door to you if you needed help? A million mommie or a Liberty belle.
An interesting sentence--
"Other gifts to the Mother's Day March included a $250,000 donation from CIBC World Markets Corp."
