This forward from a USSC officer makes a good point. We already have
enough gun laws to cover everything. But they must be enforced.
-------------------------
Here is a prime example of the sort of nonsense we need
to highlight when people propose more gun laws.
It would be good if USSC went on record demanding that the any gun
charges not be dropped, and that the gun enhancement be imposed.
Probably an email from Woody to the reporter (his address is at the
bottom of the story) would get some publicity. Notes to the prosecutor
and judge (if not ethical for lawyers to do so, get a USSC nonlawyer
board member to make the contact).
We can then use our position on this along with the details of
the case as something to pass out to every legislator as reasons
NOT to pass any new gun laws.

Man may accept plea in shooting
By Jim Rayburn <http://deseretnews.com/dn/staff/card/1,1228,122,00.html>
Deseret News staff writer
PROVO A man accused of shooting at his girlfriend last month as she
fled in her car is considering accepting a plea deal offered by Utah
County prosecutors.
Police say Robert W. Snow, 39, fired at least eight shots at his girl-
friend Aug. 10 as she was fleeing a domestic dispute between the two.
Investigators say that during an early morning argument, the woman
ran from her south Provo apartment and sped away in her car.
Snow allegedly chased her in his car and fired a handgun at her as
he chased her through south Provo. Five shots struck the woman's car,
but none hit her.
Police said that at one point during the 10-minute chase Snow's car
actually collided with his girlfriend's car.
Snow is charged with attempted murder, possession of a controlled
substance, possession of a dangerous weapon, second-degree felonies;
aggravated assault, a third-degree felony; and misdemeanor charges
of driving while intoxicated and driving on a denied license.
Snow, who has 17 prior arrests, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
However, he waived his right to a preliminary hearing and will enter
a plea on the case next week. Prosecutors have offered to dismiss some
of the charges if Snow pleads guilty to the others. If Snow does not
accept the deal, the case will be set for trial.
The second-degree felony charges carry a possible sentence of one to
15 years in prison. Snow remains incarcerated at the Utah County Jail.

I received the following from Dana Dickson:
I was just looking through my new edition of Consumer
Reports and spotted the following on the RECALLS page
at the top of the "Household Products" section:
"Master Lock and Smith & Wesson trigger gun locks -
Could be opened without key, giving children access to
weapon."
I then noticed that the recall affects no less than
752,000 (that must hurt!) locks. Further reading
revealed the cause: The locks were made to exclusive
Master Lock specifications IN CHINA. I wonder what the
heck they tested them on while they built them?
The do-gooders deserve themselves.

Subject: Anti-gun initiative in Colorado--GOA alert
Date: 14 Sep 2000 11:33:26 -0600
==================================================================

-----Forwarded From GOA------
Dear Gun Rights Supporter,
Last year we all watched in horror at the tragedy at Columbine High
School in Littleton, Colorado. Nearly as horrific was the feeding
frenzy of the anti-gun media and the drum beating of the gun control
advocates who used this incident as an excuse to call for draconian
new limits on our freedom.
In Colorado, almost all of those gun control proposals were defeated
by GOA and our local partners in freedom, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners
(RMGO).
But our friends in Colorado are now in a fight for their lives: they
must defeat a statewide initiative, sponsored by the father of one
of the Columbine victims, to close the so-called "Gun Show
Loophole."
Earlier I alerted you to a ballot initiative in Oregon. Frankly,
the battle in Colorado may be even more important to you and me.
That's why I ask you right now -- today -- to send a contribution to
RMGO either by mail to PO Box 3114, Denver Colorado, 80201 or at
http://www.rmgo.org/donate.html on the web.
Why is this important to you?
First, RMGO is a true grassroots organization that has fought all
the right battles and done remarkably well.
But their funding, from activists in Colorado, isn't sufficient to
overcome the incredible tide of out-of-state cash being raised by
their opponent, SAFE (we believe SAFE is more accurately
called "UnSAFE" since they advocate the disarming of citizens).
SAFE is raising money from huge foundations, liberal trusts, and
outside groups to fund their power grab -- a funding source our
Colorado allies do not have.
The entire nation is watching Colorado. It has been considered
a "pro-gun state" until now, and the media is building up this
initiative battle as the granddaddy of political wars. RMGO's
Executive Director Dudley Brown has been a guest on countless
national news programs during the last year, defending our rights
in the face of blistering attacks from the left-wing media. Brown
always concludes that the Columbine shooting might have been
stopped had a teacher been carrying a concealed weapon.
Because of this national spotlight, Colorado is now the battleground
for our rights. And if we -- you, me, and every citizen who is
concerned with freedom -- won't help RMGO fight off this attack on
our gun rights, who will?
Below is a note from RMGO's Dudley Brown to tell you how you can get
involved.
Please help out now.
Sincerely,
Larry Pratt
P.S. RMGO deserves your most generous support. Please send a
contribution to RMGO at PO Box 3114, Denver Colorado, 80201 or give
online at http://www.rmgo.org/donate.html on the web.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners
PO Box 3114
Denver, Colorado 80201

Dear Friend,
My fight is yours, and yours is mine: wherever the attacks are
launched on our freedoms, I am willing to fight.
It took only a few hours for the national media to start talking
about gun control the day two murderous thugs entered Columbine
High.
Rather than cower and apologize for our freedoms, Rocky Mountain
Gun Owners answered the call to defend our Constitutional rights.
While we didn't win every battle in the state legislature, we did
make our enemies pay for every inch. And one issue they couldn't
pass was to force private sales at gun shows through their Brady
Registration check.
SAFE -- Colorado's top front group for disarming law-abiding
gun owners -- immediately turned to a ballot initiative, knowing
they would have willing accomplices in the media and a torrent
of cash from every left-wing "public interest" group.
This week, RMGO is kicking off its fund raising efforts to fight
this initiative.
We make this plea to gun rights supporters across our great
country: stand up with us, and oppose this scheme.
Now, the radicals at SAFE raise their money from just a few
contributors in $1000 chunks: we, on the other hand, have to raise
our money by thousands of donors in small amounts.
Your donation of $100, $75, $50 or even $25 will show our opponents
that America isn't going to let them get away with buying out our
civil rights.
You can make a donation online at http://www.rmgo.org/donate.html
or by mail at PO Box 3114, Denver Colorado, 80201.
There is no time to waste -- we must gather the resources necessary
to fight this gun control proposal as soon as possible.
All eyes are watching to see what Colorado does. We ask for your
assistance, and your prayers.
Standing firmly for freedom,
Dudley Brown
Executive Director
P.S. Colorado has become the battleground for our gun rights, and
we need help. The gun-grabbers are raising money hand-over-fist
from liberal out-of-state organizations, and I am certain we cannot
compete without your assistance.
Please donate whatever you can afford -- $25, $50, $75, $100 (there
are no limits) -- to RMGO as soon as possible to help us fend off
this attack on our freedoms.

FROM MOUNTAIN MEDIA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATED SEPT. 17, 2000
THE LIBERTARIAN, By Vin Suprynowicz
Will rewrite nation's history to suit new tenant
Some publicity has been generated by the prominent play given leftist
college professor Garry Wills' review of the new book "Arming America:
The
origins of a National Gun Culture," by The New York Times.
I have not yet received a review copy of "Arming America," by Michael
A.
Bellesiles, though the folks at Alfred A. Knopf have promised me one.
Both Mr. Bellesiles and Mr. Wills embrace the theory that the old
notion
of America being "an armed nation" from 1750 to 1850 -- that America was
conquered and defended by a rural, civilian populace mostly armed -- is a
myth. They go further, asserting that this myth has been invented on
purpose by a modern right-wing conspiracy which they call "the gun cult."
I think it would thus be fair to characterize "Arming America" as an
"anti-gun book."
Mr. Bellesiles, a colonial historian at Emory University, examined more
than 1,000 probate records from New England and Pennsylvania for the
years
1763 and 1790, discovered only 14 percent of these estates conveyed
firearms to the decedents' heirs, and that "over half of them were
unusable."
From that, both Mr. Bellesiles and his happy reviewer, Mr. Wills of
Northwestern University, conclude that only 14 percent of Americans in
the
period 1763 to the Civil War owned firearms.
What Mr. Bellesiles has proved, Mr. Wills instructs us, is that,
"Before
the Civil War ... the average American had little reason to go to the
expense and trouble of acquiring, mastering and maintaining a tool of
such
doubtful utility as a gun."
Clayton Cramer, who earned his master's degree in history at Sonoma
State
University in 1998, has been on the trail of Mr. Bellesiles' thesis for
some time. He explodes it completely in his recent essay "Gun Scarcity in
Antebellum America" (www.ggnra.org/cramer/GunScarcity.pdf).
Rather than extrapolating from probate records, Cramer goes to
original,
contemporary sources.
He finds Philip Gosse, an English naturalist visiting Alabama in the
1830s, writing: "The long rifle is familiar to every hand: skill in the
use
of it is the highest accomplishment which a southern gentleman glories
in;
even the children acquire an astonishing expertness in handling this
deadly
weapon at a very early age."
Gosse goes on to note that marksmanship skills were so "universally
high"
that young men had to resort to "curious tests" to prove their skill,
such
as driving a stout nail halfway into a post, whereupon the young men
"stand
at an immense distance and fire at the nail: the object is to hit the
nail
so truly on the head with the ball as to drive it home."
Yep. I guess those southern boys had pretty much never seen a rifle
before.
Touring the young nation in 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville reported that in
Tennessee, "There is not a farmer but passes some of his time hunting and
owns a good gun."
In 1839, Englishman Charles Augustus Murray wrote for his British
readership of visiting a farmhouse in rural Virginia: "Nearly every man
has
a rifle, and spends part of his time in the chase."
Nor was this merely a rural phenomenon. In Charles H. Haswell's
"Reminiscences of New York by an Octogenarian" (1896), he recalls that in
February of 1836 a mob gathered to burn "Saint Patrick's Church in Mott
Street." The effort came to naught, however, because, "The Catholics ...
not only filled the church with armed men," but put so many armed men on
the walls that Haswell describes the roof-line as appearing "crenellated"
with them.
Does Mr. Wills embrace Mr. Bellesiles' evident nonsense because it
confirms preconceived notions he wants desperately to believe? If so, was
he a miserable choice to provide Times' readers with a reasonably
skeptical
analysis of the flaws in Mr. Bellesiles' methodology?
Were Joe Stalin's men ever any better at revising truth and history --
cutting unwanted middlemen out of the old photos and sliding Comrade Joe
over till he appears to be whispering in Lenin's attentive ear?
As to the flaws in Mr. Bellesiles' method, they should be fairly
obvious.
My own grandfather died only a decade ago, after a long infirmity. He
left
no written will that my mother can recall, and conveyed no firearms
through
probate. Mr. Bellesiles would thus conclude Clarence Edward Higginbotham
never owned any guns, and had no skill in their use.
In fact, my grandfather was an accomplished and dedicated deer hunter,
with a large gun closet. He taught me to shoot the rifle. As he grew
older,
he entrusted these weapons, one at a time, to friends and relations. If
he,
a 20th century resident of Ohio, saw no need for a will to convey these
familiar but valued assets, how much less occasion did the average
frontier
American of the late 1700s have to bring lawyers and courts into the
transfer of household goods to the next generation?
Finally, for the sake of argument, let us ask: If it could be
demonstrated that only 14 percent of antebellum Americans had been
churchgoers, could we therefore safely conclude the notion of Americans
having long been a "God-fearing people" has been newly cooked up by some
weird right-wing cult? And would it therefore become more acceptable to
infringe the First Amendment freedom of religion -- the Second Amendment
being the real target of the bizarre revisionism we have been examining
here today?
Americans without guns! These guys (start ital)must(end ital) be
college
professors.

The following is from today's public opinion page of the Deseret News.
If the allegations are true, Rocky and SLC need to be put back in line.
Asside from the obvious back door gun control posed by the S&W

Over the past several weeks, we have been told how
hizzoner, Mayor Anderson, looked far and wide before he found a suitable
candidate to appoint as Salt Lake City police chief.
It isn't easy to find a qualified police officer who will commit to
subordinate himself without question or comment to what would appear to
be the "mood swings" of the mayor. Or, more correctly, to the mayor's
only mood when dealing with subordinates: Bow down, be quiet or be blown
away.
What has some of us wondering is whether the new chief will vigorously
implement the mayor's agreement with Washington, D.C., pal Secretary of
HUD Andrew Cuomo, who is leading the fight for Clinton-Gore in their
private war on our Second Amendment rights.
Anderson, without his usual fanfare, has become a partner in Cuomo's
"Smith & Wesson" sell-out of last spring by pledging to Secretary Cuomo
that Salt Lake City will give preference to Smith & Wesson in securing
weapons for the police force. Whatever happened to competitive bidding?
Or did its definition become a casualty along with the definition of
"is"?
