Excellent! thanks for the ping!

On Wednesday night, 10-11-00, I attended an event sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW). The event was announced in the 10-08-00 edition of the Kansas City Star Sunday Metropolitan Section's Community Calender. The announcement said that Million Mom March (MMM) president would be the guest speaker and the topic was to be "Gun Violence and Gun Control Legislation".

In the article you linked, it is mentioned that the Million Mom president, Mary Leigh Blek said, that her son, who was a senior in college, was killed by 3 teenage thugs (15 yrs old) in New York. It goes on to say that Ms Blek congratulated Missouri for failing to pass legislation in 1998 that would allow Missourians to carry "...concealed and loaded ..." guns...

What she fails to realize is that NYC PROHIBITS CONCEALED CARRY for common citizens. It is precisely why her son was shot and killed, as the criminals who walk the streets of NYC have no fear of being shot due to the fact that most if not all citizens there are unarmed.

So in effect she is congratulating the very policy that led to her son's death.

The NCJW stinks (http://www.ncjw.org/). Mostly they're a pro-abort group, so the fact that they are anti-choice in self-defense doesn't surprise me at all, it seems to be a contingent cause.
 
My favorite quote of theirs (which can be found posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/659481/posts):
The widening crusade to add the slogan "Choose Life" to auto tags received a boost last week when a federal appeals court dismissed a challenge to a Louisiana program that uses $25 from each specialty license plate sold to help fund adoptions.
...
The decision ends separate lawsuits by groups that accused Louisiana of unconstitutionally sanctioning religion and infringing on their free-speech rights. Complainants included a group of taxpayers, Planned Parenthood and the National Council of Jewish Women, which charged the law advances "Christian fundamentalism."
Of course, "Choose life" appears in the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of what the Jews call the Torah, their most sacred scriptures.
