>Have you seen the new Brady Bill II (H.R. 3932 and S. 1878)? Well, if you
>haven't, stand by; here it comes. This one is real bad and needs every
>effort to
>get it put away. President Clinton and Sarah Brady are at it again and this
>time
>they are going all out to make it impossible for you to protect yourself.
> Most of
>the gun stores have copies of this bill, as reported by the National Rifle
>Assn.
>
>In short, it requires things like a $300 three-year license from the BATF if
>you
>own 20 firearms or have 1,000 rounds of ammo in your home. Along with this,
>BATF can search your home unannounced three times during each year. This
>bill also outlaws most production handguns and many other weapons and allows
>you to buy only one handgun per month. It removes the sunset on the 7-day
>waiting period and makes it happen even with insta-check.
>
>What they are after is to take all your gun rights away and make it so hard
>to
>get them, and drive people out of business who sell firearms or manufacture
>them. They think they can convince you that this is the answer to crime.
> Then
>once you are dependent on the government and police for all your protection,
>who will protect you from them?
>
>One of my young Deputies came up to me after seeing this report and asked
>me what they were trying to do to him and all police officers. He then went
>on
>to point out how now the bad guy may have a cheap handgun that may or may
>not work when he attacks a police officer. This bill will only make quality
>weapons available for the bad guy and get more police officers killed.
>
>The bottom line is, they want to take all firearms away from the law-abiding
>citizen and this will only make you defenseless. Then the bad guys and the
>government will rule the day and our way of life so that we have no freedom
>left. America will come to an end as we know it.
>
>Again I say: Don't just sit back and hope someone does something. Let your
>elected representatives know how you feel and then vote for those who will
>protect your rights. Join and support the NRA before it is too late.
>
>A study done by John Lott and David Mustard, "Crime, Deterrence, and Right-
>to-Carry Concealed Handguns," in the Journal of Legal Studies, January 1997
>issue, shows that if all States in America had adopted the right to carry
>laws, approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, and over 60,000 aggravated
>assaults would have been avoided yearly. Can you imagine what the crime
>rate would look like under the new Brady Bill? We in law enforcement need
>your help to make sure we remain a free and safe people. This is as vital as
>
>anything I have ever asked for. Please take the time to tell others and get
>people involved. We will not have the same freedoms for our children and
>grandchildren, if we don't.
>
>A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to talk with a Major in the
>Russian
>Police Force from Moscow. He was here doing a study on American Law
>Enforcement. First he asked me how many homicides we dealt with each day.
>His impression from our media was that we had one about every hour. I told
>him we normally have one to six a year in Coos County and he was shocked.
>Our media does a fine job telling us we are a violent country.
>
>This Major told me that his job was to head up the division of their national
>police that deals with gun smuggling and narcotics. He then indicated that
>in Russia
>the only people allowed to have firearms are police and military. They have
>a big problem with gun smuggling and all the criminals have firearms. He
>said they are
>not afraid to attack citizens because they know they are not armed. By the
>same token, they often shoot it out with the police. He told me that in the
>past year
>they had almost 400 officers killed in Russia. In America we had only 62
>officers killed the same year.
>
>This tells me something. First, America is not a violent country, and
>second, outlawing firearms from our citizens will only make one more big
>problem for
>us. It points out that an armed society is indeed a polite society. At the
>very
>lest, a safer society. So stop and think about what I have said. This could
>be America.
