SEND KERRY TO PERRY TO SEE LEGITIMATE USE OF SEMI-AUTOS, SAYS SAF August 2, 2004 - Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry need only turn his attention to the National High Power Rifle championships being held this month at Camp Perry, Ohio to observe the legitimate use of semiautomatic rifles, a use that seems to elude him and other gun control proponents, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) said today. Theres no better place than Camp Perry for Mr Kerry to see hundreds, if not thousands, of registered shooters and spectators, participating in a registered competition with the kinds of legitimate firearms for which anti-gunners claim there is no legitimate use, said SAF Founder Alan Gottlieb.

In the wake of a Wednesday nights shooting of nine people during a fireworks show, a man apparently pulled a handgun and shot nine people. In response, Kilpatrick was quoted by the Associated Press insisting the man was a lone idiot.
CAN YOU TRUST LIBERALS WILLING TO SELL OUT PRINCIPLES FOR RE-ELECTION? June 23, 2004 - By Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman An intriguing phenomenon is at work right now in Canada and the United States, where political liberals are demonstrating a remarkable willingness to turn their backs on what once seemed an unshakable principle, simply in the interest of winning re-election and assuring their political survival. It appears these politicians have suddenly realized what a pity it would be for them to have to find real jobs, so in Canada and here in the states, theyve decided that it is the smart thing to be against gun control. North of the border, Canadian Liberals, according to Reuters, are scrambling to avoid defeat in the June 28 election so Prime Minister Paul Martin is promising to modify that nations gun registration law.
June 18, 2004 - By Dave Workman Remember the name Brandon Mayfield. Hes the Portland, Oregon attorney who was wrongly jailed earlier this spring because of a faulty FBI analysis of fingerprints found at the scene of a terrorist bombing in Madrid, Spain. That he was freed after spending weeks in jail maintaining his innocence all along, while it seemed like the FBI and Justice Department had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the point of admitting a mistake had been made clearly demonstrated why so many in the firearms community are skeptical of the way some people want to use fingerprints to identify crime guns.
PRESIDENT REAGAN KNEW VALUE OF GUN OWNERSHIP June 9, 2004 - By Alan Gottlieb and Joe Waldron History will remember Ronald Wilson Reagan as one of Americas greatest presidents, but long before he was recognized as the man who won the Cold War, or was the hero of countless B movies, he was a genuine hero to a woman named Melba King. According to recently-surfaced reports, when Reagan was a radio sportscaster in Des Moines, Iowa back in the fall of 1933, he came to the rescue gun in hand of King, who was then a 22-year-old nursing student. King recently recalled the incident to a Des Moines television station, noting that a mugger had come up from behind to rob her, outside the rooming house where Reagan was living.
WHEN GUN CONTROL ACHIEVES MONUMENTAL HYPOCRISY May 16, 2004 - By Dave Workman Chicagos Rev. Michael Pfleger a man Ive never personally met, but spoken with on the phone is either a remarkably good and forgiving person, or a hypocrite of monumental proportions.
MISGUIDED MOMS COME CLEAN: THEY DO WANT TO ELIMINATE FIREARMS RIGHTS May 15, 2004 - By Alan Gottlieb and Joe Waldron Finally, some honesty has surfaced from the socially-bigoted Million Mom March, an organization that-while obviously numerically-challenged-seems to have members who were unusually candid in their remarks to the National Review. In a remarkably revealing series of comments reported by National Review's Daniel J Flynn in the wake of the MMM's Mother's Day Dud in Washington, DC, a handful of die-hard extremists admitted they aren't out to simply keep guns out of the wrong hands.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported May 6 that Troutman's home, burglarized twice in the past three months, now has a police officer assigned during all shifts to watch the residence, including weekends. In a statement quoted by the newspaper, Troutman said, "Deserve it?
