Million Mommies To Get Their Belles Rung in Gun Debate
By Sierra Times

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.

As of today he is still confirmed. If he backs out now we win, if he shows up we win, I like these odds!

Mary Leigh Blecch is still smarting from her last debate (with John Lott). So, Frau Direktor is sending her husband to debate in her place. After all, he is a lawyer and therefore knows some big words. I suspect that they are resorting to the old "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh!t" ploy. Sadly, it works for them, at least enough to keep the breath of life in the organization.

I sure hope Anna asks why the Marxist Moms couldn't find a single mom up to debating, why they have to hide behind a big mean ole man.

... whose son Matthew was shot in the 1990s in New York during a robbery by teenagers using a handgun.

This is why they are sending a man. So he can be a victim and change the discussion from logic to emotion simply by bringing up his son. And you know he will.

Well, since a posse of FReepers attended, I surmise a report will appear. I'll ping you.
