Washington DC's low murder rate</p><p>> of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict</p><p>> gun control, and Indianapolis'</p><p>> high murder rate of 9 per 100,000</p><p>> is due to the lack of gun control.</p><p></p><p>> 3. Statistics showing high murder</p><p>> rates justify gun control but</p><p>> statistics showing increasing</p><p>> murder rates after gun control are</p><p>> "just statistics."</p><p></p><p>> 4. The Brady Bill and the Assault</p><p>> Weapons Ban, both of which went</p><p>> into effect in 1994 are</p><p>> responsible for the decrease in</p><p>> violent crime rates, which have</p><p>> been declining since 1991.</p><p></p><p>> 5. We must get rid of guns because</p><p>> a deranged lunatic may go on a</p><p>> shooting spree at any time and</p><p>> anyone who would own a gun out of</p><p>> fear of such a lunatic is</p><p>> paranoid.</p><p></p><p>> 6. The more helpless you are the</p><p>> safer you are from criminals.</p><p></p><p>> 7. An intruder will be</p><p>> incapacitated by tear gas or oven</p><p>> spray, but if shot with a .357</p><p>> Magnum will get angry and kill</p><p>> you.</p><p></p><p>> 8. A woman raped and strangled is</p><p>> morally superior to a woman with a</p><p>> smoking gun and a dead rapist at</p><p>> her feet.</p><p></p><p>> 9. When confronted by violent</p><p>> criminals, you should "put up no</p><p>> defense- give them what they want,</p><p>> or run" (Handgun Control Inc.</p><p>> Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don't</p><p>> Die - People Do, 1981, p.125).</p><p></p><p>> 10. The New England Journal of</p><p>> Medicine is filled with expert</p><p>> advice about guns; just like Guns</p><p>> & Ammo has some excellent</p><p>> treatises on heart surgery.</p><p></p><p>> 11. One should consult an</p><p>> automotive engineer for safer</p><p>> seatbelts, a civil engineer for a</p><p>> better bridge, a surgeon for</p><p>> internal medicine, a computer</p><p>> programmer for hard drive</p><p>> problems, and Sarah Brady for</p><p>> firearms expertise.</p><p></p><p>> 12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in</p><p>> 1787, refers to the National</p><p>> Guard, which was created 130 years</p><p>> later, in 1917.</p><p></p><p>> 13. The National Guard, federally</p><p>> funded, with bases on federal</p><p>> land, using federally-owned</p><p>> weapons, vehicles, buildings and</p><p>> uniforms, punishing trespassers</p><p>> under federal law, is a "state"</p><p>> militia.</p><p></p><p>> 14. These phrases: "right of the</p><p>> people peaceably to assemble,"</p><p>> "right of the people to be secure</p><p>> in their homes," "enumerations</p><p>> herein of certain rights shall not</p><p>> be construed to disparage others</p><p>> retained by the people," and "The</p><p>> powers not delegated herein are</p><p>> reserved to the states</p><p>> respectively, and to the people"</p><p>> all refer to individuals, but "the</p><p>> right of the people to keep and</p><p>> bear arm" refers to the state.</p><p></p><p>> 15. "The Constitution is strong</p><p>> and will never change." But we</p><p>> should ban and seize all guns</p><p>> thereby violating the 2nd, 4th,</p><p>> and 5th Amendments to that</p><p>> Constitution.</p><p></p><p>> 16. Rifles and handguns aren't</p><p>> necessary to national defense! Of</p><p>> course, the army has hundreds of</p><p>> thousands of them.</p><p></p><p>> 17. Private citizens shouldn't</p><p>> have handguns, because they aren't</p><p>> "military weapons", but private</p><p>> citizens shouldn't have "assault</p><p>> rifles", because they are military</p><p>> weapons.</p><p></p><p>> 18. In spite of waiting periods,</p><p>> background checks, finger</p><p>> printing, government forms, etc.,</p><p>> guns today are too readily</p><p>> available, which is responsible</p><p>> for recent school shootings. In</p><p>> the 1940's, 1950's and1960's,</p><p>> anyone could buy guns at hardware</p><p>> stores, army surplus stores, gas</p><p>> stations, variety stores, Sears</p><p>> mail order, no waiting, no</p><p>> background check, no fingerprints,</p><p>> no government forms and there were</p><p>> no school shootings.</p><p></p><p>> 19. The NRA's attempt to run a</p><p>> "don't touch" campaign about kids</p><p>> handling guns is propaganda, but</p><p>> the anti-gun lobby's attempt to</p><p>> run a "don't touch" campaign is</p><p>> responsible social activity.</p><p></p><p>> 20. Guns are so complex that</p><p>> special training is necessary to</p><p>> use them properly, and so simple</p><p>> to use that they make murder easy.</p><p></p><p>> 21. A handgun, with up to 4</p><p>> controls, is far too complex for</p><p>> the typical adult to learn to use,</p><p>> as opposed to an automobile that</p><p>> only has 20.</p><p></p><p>> 22. Women are just as intelligent</p><p>> and capable as men but a woman</p><p>> with a gun is "an accident waiting</p><p>> to happen" and gun makers'</p><p>> advertisements aimed at women are</p><p>> "preying on their fears."</p><p></p><p>> 23. Ordinary people in the</p><p>> presence of guns turn into</p><p>> slaughtering butchers but revert</p><p>> to normal when the weapon is</p><p>> removed.</p><p></p><p>> 24. Guns cause violence, which is</p><p>> why there are so many mass</p><p>> killings at gun shows.</p><p></p><p>> 25. A majority of the population</p><p>> supports gun control, just like a</p><p>> majority of the population</p><p>> supported owning slaves.</p><p></p><p>> 26. Any self-loading small arm can</p><p>> legitimately be considered to be a</p><p>> "weapon of mass destruction" or an</p><p>> "assault weapon."</p><p></p><p>> 27. Most people can't be trusted,</p><p>> so we should have laws against</p><p>> guns, which most people will abide</p><p>> by because they can be trusted.</p><p></p><p>> 28. The right of Internet</p><p>> pornographers to exist cannot be</p><p>> questioned because it is</p><p>> constitutionally protected by the</p><p>> Bill of Rights, but the use of</p><p>> handguns for self defense is not</p><p>> really protected by the Bill of</p><p>> Rights.</p><p></p><p>> 29. Free speech entitles one to</p><p>> own newspapers, transmitters,</p><p>> computers, and typewriters, but</p><p>> self-defense only justifies bare</p><p>> hands.</p><p></p><p>> 30. The ACLU is good because it</p><p>> uncompromisingly defends certain</p><p>> parts of the Constitution, and the</p><p>> NRA is bad, because it defends</p><p>> other parts of the Constitution.</p><p></p><p>> 31. Charlton Heston, a movie actor</p><p>> as president of the NRA is a cheap</p><p>> lunatic who should be ignored, but</p><p>> Michael Douglas, a movie actor as</p><p>> a representative of Handgun</p><p>> Control, Inc. is an ambassador for</p><p>> peace who is entitled to an</p><p>> audience at the UN arms control</p><p>> summit.</p><p></p><p>> 32. Police operate with backup</p><p>> within groups, which is why they</p><p>> need larger capacity pistol</p><p>> magazines than do "civilians" who</p><p>> must face criminals alone and</p><p>> therefore need less ammunition.</p><p></p><p>> 33. We should ban "Saturday Night</p><p>> Specials" and other inexpensive</p><p>> guns because it's not fair that</p><p>> poor people have access to guns</p><p>> too.</p><p></p><p>> 34. Police officers have some</p><p>> special Jedi-like mastery over</p><p>> hand guns that private citizens</p><p>> can never hope to obtain.</p><p></p><p>> 35. Private citizens don't need a</p><p>> gun for self-protection because</p><p>> the police are there to protect</p><p>> them even though the Supreme Court</p><p>> says the police are not</p><p>> responsible for their protection.</p><p></p><p>> 36. Citizens don't need to carry a</p><p>> gun for personal protection but</p><p>> police chiefs, who are desk-bound</p><p>> administrators who work in a</p><p>> building filled with cops, need a</p><p>> gun.</p><p></p><p>> 37. "Assault weapons" have no</p><p>> purpose other than to kill large</p><p>> numbers of people. The police need</p><p>> assault weapons. You do not.</p><p></p><p>> 38. When Microsoft pressures its</p><p>> distributors to give Microsoft</p><p>> preferential promotion, that's</p><p>> bad; but when the Federal</p><p>> government pressures cities to buy</p><p>> guns only from Smith & Wesson,</p><p>> that's good.</p><p></p><p>> 39.
