"This action is proof positive that the worst fears about Attorney General Ashcroft have come true: his extreme ideology on guns has now become government policy," said Michael Barnes, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which promotes gun control.

These people are just unbelievable.

(This opinion comes from someone who used to think it would probably be a good idea to remove as many handguns from society as possible.)

Was it REALLY the position of former administrations to state the opposute? Bizarre.

In the case of the Klinton administration, absolutely. Believe it or not, Reno's Justice Dept issued a public statement that the official position of the United States government was that individual citizens had NO Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

well said. My father always taught me the same:

An armed society is a polite society.

"At the same time, the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer said the high court need not test that principle now."

"This is not good news; we needed that test."

It's still amzing to watch the pom pom shakers.

LAURA BUSH:
"During her San Diego speech, for instance, she said nothing about the school shooting that occurred 20 miles away in El Cajon the day before, although in a television interview she condemned it, adding that she thinks more gun control laws are needed.

"I think that's very important," she said when asked by CNN whether stronger gun laws are needed."

Yup. It ain't what any rational person would call "complex"; at least not so far as guns are concerned. The real question is, how far does it go? Individual rights to keep and bear tanks? F-14s? Nuclear weapons? Setting limits is where an individual right gets tricky.

A Problem With Guns?

"W. Wimps Out on Guns"
The Bush package includes several pet causes of the gun-control lobby, including $75 million for gun locks; $15.3 million for 113 new federal attorneys to serve as full-time gun prosecutors; and $19.1 million to expand a program by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms aimed at preventing youths from obtaining guns. Although Bush stressed that he simply wants to "enforce existing laws," the fine print of Project Safe echoes the gun-grabbing Left's call to ban the importation of high-capacity ammunition clips."

Mrs Ruth Price DIED HARD.

Mrs Turner self defense rights were taken away.

Now here in May of 2002, it is Ronyale White of Chicago.

*IL Chicago woman waits 17 minutes for 911 police call.*

Cut and Paste URL http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/680581/posts

No Judge's restraining order will ever stop an evil man with intent to kill a spouse.

Mayor Daley should be ashamed of his disarming of the poor.

Chicago residents (especially the poor) should be asking Mayor Daley why he is violating the Second Amendment rights of the poor and handicap of their self defense rights?

No honest citizen in America should be disarmed by politicans or state govt so they can be killed by felons, and scum with evil intent.

Other women who know how Mrs. Price was lied too by the government false statements that 911 will protect you.

* Women who defend their sons daughters and husbands *

Cut and paste load to Second Amendment Sisters http://www.sas-aim.org/home.htm

Bad guys don't live by the rules. Here is Mrs. Ruth Price story and I would think that you would agree she disagrees with this leftist extremist, anti-gun views. Here is Mrs. Price story. Another disarmed voice.

Mrs. Price speaks directly to the gun control extremists.

Have we forgotten already.

Women's talk about self defense.

From a woman's point of view

The best news link on the planet for self defense.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Who needs protection? The women of our lives, and our children, the poor who have little police protection, our grandparents, and parents, our wife, and our daughters need the right to self-defense at home and on the street. 2.2 million felons in jail, 3.5 million felons on probation, and 14 million drug abusers looking for their next fix. Do you think they are living in your city? Guns save lives. Gun free zones are killing zones for criminals. Most anti gun liberals are one mugging away from conservative views.

Dail 911 and die is more than a cute saying. It is life or death.

The actual 911 call is Mrs Price voice. Take this recording to every MMM and anti gun rally in the nation. Perhaps the MMM anti guns will be the next Mrs Price.

Another Mrs Price story in Columbus OHIO -- Dialed 911 and Died.

Mrs. Turner's story. Restraining orders, Killer telling police he was going to kill her, begging for life for several minutes, nor did phone call to 911 save this woman's life.
