Starr Report - Online There are several copies on the internet of the Starr report that was submitted to Congress. One I have been able to reliably access is the CNN copy. Very interesting and VERY in depth. Also interesting is the Clinton rebuttal, available here. Check them out! |

Gun Control Works? A Hollywood man turns the tables on a burglar. The suspect escapes with 40 dollars and his life. Police say the un-named homeowner was sleeping when the burglar climbed through a window. Investigators say the suspect grabbed a large kitchen knife and went into the bedroom and tried to steal a gun from a bedside drawer. The victim awoke, grabbed the gun from the burglar and chased him from the house without firing any shots. The suspect is still being sought. Goes to show that Gun Control is a steady hand - or a faster one! |

Pres Threatens to Veto "Anti-Brady" Amendment The President has begun to draw the line in the sand, and has stated that he will oppose any bill that contains the "Anti-Brady" provision. That's why we need to bolster the resolve of our elected legislators more than ever. Don't let them think that the interest over stopping gun owner registration has died down. Let's ring their phones off the hook, and empty the paper out of their fax machines. HERE'S WHAT TO DO: Call you Representatives and Senators (202-224-3121), and ask them to support the Smith amendment. Moreover, ask them to vote against any version of the Commerce-Justice-State bill that has watered-down (or eliminated) the Smith provision. For information on who and how to contact legislators, visit the GOA website. |

Other Important Bills Gun owners should remind their Senators that they do NOT want Hatch's anti-gun crime bill (S. 10). This bill still applies RICO (racketeering) penalties to minor gun infractions and would increase penalties on gun owners who take their kids handgun shooting without a written note of permission. Also, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) promised a vote on the Incumbent Protection Bill which would restrict the free speech rights of citizens that organize together (like GOA, NRA, JPFO, etc.) to influence legislative policy. While this legislation claims to reform campaign finance laws, it would really prevent the ability of groups like the above to keep you informed on how your legislator is voting. Urge your Senators to oppose Hatch's Horror Bill (S. 10) and the McCain-Feingold restrictions on free speech (so-called "campaign finance reform"). Call 202-224-3121. |

Berkeley Bans Investment in Guns A California city is making an anti-gun statement. Berkeley has decided it won't invest city money in companies that manufacture guns, even though it doesn't have any investments like that. An ordinance approved by the city council last night also instructs the city to discourage the state public employees retirement system from investing in firearm manufacturers. Where do these people come from? The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard... |
