THE LAW-ABIDING GUNOWNER

ISSUE #8                               FEBRUARY 21, 1995

        Given the reaction of the defeated members of the United States 
Congress, President Clinton, the various political experts and the mass 
media of this nation to the events surrounding the unprecedented rea-
lignment of the Congress last November, one might get the impression 
that the repudiation of the big government-grandiose social engineering- 
big taxes legislative body of the previous Congress was due to the 
efforts of the "gun lobby" bloc alone. President Clinton, in two sepa-
rate interviews with the mass media in Cleveland, Ohio, blamed the 
National Rifle Association and the "gun lobby" for the loss of 20 seats 
in the House of Representatives, an idea has been reiterated in one way 
or another by other political pundits and the mass media as the near-
sole cause of the defeat of the formerly largely Democratic Legislature 
and Admin- istration.  Law abiding gunowners who made the effort of 
making their views known by casting their votes can certainly take some 
pride in knowing that they were part of a phalanx which sent the clear 
message to the central powers-that-be that they are unwilling to toler-
ate any further erosion of the rights of individuals and the states they 
live in by an increasingly removed, thought-tight central State, and are 
in all likelihood directly responsible for the toppling of the sitting 
speaker of the House of Representatives, Thomas Foley (an event that 
last occurred in 1856); however, the assignment of "sole blame" for the 
composition of the 104th Congress is, in the final analysis, somewhat 
exaggerated, and the sense of accomplishment all law-abiding, gunowning 
voters are entitled to feel at the turn of events should be tempered by 
the reality that there are significant forces still in place whose 
agenda is the abolition of lawful gun ownership in America.

        All lawful gunowners and the groups they have joined to fight 
for their liberties do indeed have the right to gloat in the aftermath 
of the 1994 elections.  In the aftermath of the passage of laws like the 
Brady Law and the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1994 which contained the ban on 
over 200 semiautomatic rifles and other firearms (the so-called "assault 
weapons" b an), a consensus of opinion developed which termed pro-gun 
rights groups like the National Rifle Association (and the people who 
make up their membership) as paper tigers, unable to affect either the 
decisions or the careers of the professional politicians in our national 
and state capitols, an assertion which was quickly and repeatedly broad-
cast by the mass media in the United States.  Ignored in this is the 
fact that, just prior to the enactment of both the Brady Law and the 
"assault weapons" ban, huge numbers of ordinary, law-abiding citizens 
expressed their concern- and their contempt--for both of these new laws 
(and the lawmakers who enacted them) by engaging in what amounted to a 
buying spree of the guns which would be affected by those same laws; at 
the same time pro-gunowner rights groups like the National Rifle Asso-
ciation enjoyed an remarkable influx a new members which strengthened 
their financial bases and their political clout. Some suggested that the 
National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, the Second Amendment 
Foundation, et al., would be wiser to adopt compromise with the anti-gun 
ownership clique, arguing that it would be best to preserve some of the 
lawful gunowners' rights then to lose all to hostile legislators and a 
hostile administration; the pro-gunowner rights groups instead con-
centrated on a grassroots political campaign which urged all active 
members to participate in the democratic process and encourage other 
gunowners to do so, using electronic media to inform and support the 
efforts of the individual citizens involved.  

        The efforts of the individual gunowning voter on November 8, 
1994, in combination with a phalanx of other, largely conservative 
groups, transformed the political establishment in Washington,  changed 
the political climate in 28 of the 50 states, and left the mass-media 
elite of America open-mouthed in stunned astonishment.  It is appealing 
to think that voting gunowners, informed and abetted by pro-gunowner 
rights groups, were the hand which helped topple the pedestal upon which 
the Democratic- controlled U. S. House of Representatives and Senate, 
and there is empirical evidence that gunowners are at least partially 
responsible to that end-- certainly the mass media, in their effort to 
"explain" the result of the November elections pointed towards gunowners 
and the organizations that lobby for them as the cause of their favorite 
candidate's defeat:

     "As candidates who backed gun control legislation fell one by one 
across the nation Tuesday night, the National Rifle Association reemerged
as a high-caliber political force that politicians cross at their own peril." 

--The Hill, a Washington political publication, 11/10/94.

        Such statements are a candid if belated admission of the 
strength of the pro-gunowner rights movement in the United States, all 
previous opinion to the contrary; these same statements also serve, in 
the liberal ether in which the mass media and their favorite causes 
exist, as an accusation against that same pro-rights movement against 
what is termed "reasonable" gun control--and a warning to all law-abiding
gunowners that the fight to preserve their rights and to reverse the 
ridiculous provisions of supposed "crime control" measures like the 
five-day national waiting period and the ban on firearms with semiautomatic
actions and "excess" magazine capacities is still an uphill one.  

        The new Congress, under the leadership of Senator Robert Dole 
and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, does represent a sea change (to 
borrow an overused word currently in vogue among the current occupants 
of the White House) in the government of this country, a change echoed 
in the partial to total shift of control in 28 state governments.  It is 
to be expected that the unseating of the party which is principally 
responsible for much of the modern gun control laws in the United States 
is inimically beneficial to gunowning citizens; this good news is exem-
plified in a personal letter sent by Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives Newt Gingrich to Tanya Metaska, Executive Director of the National 
Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA/ILA), in which 
Mr. Gingrich (R-GA) affirmed that, as long as he is Speaker of the 
House, "no gun control legislation is going to move in committee or on 
the floor of the House (of Representatives)", and he emphasized that his 
intention as Speaker is also to "remove ill-conceived and unnecessary 
government interference in those (Second Amendment) rights"; additional-
ly, leaders of the NRA met with the Republican leadership in Washington, 
where they received a commitment to work for "a coherent Second Amen-
dment strategy to define gun ownership as a Constitutional right."  
According to the information released via the NRA-ILA Fax Network 
(2/3/95), this is the first time in American history that any Speaker of 
the House has ever committed himself to such support of the individual 
citizens' Second Amendment rights.  This is happy news to America's 
gunowners, who have suffered one gun control ("crime control") law after 
another, but a friendly leadership in the Government does not necessarily
mean the provisions of the Brady Law or the "assault weapon" ban will 
be repealed anytime soon--and certainly not without the continued and 
unwavering support of the gunowning voter.

        The national leadership of the 104th Congress has promised the
following:

>>> Continued from previous message
  Proposal of the repeal of the ban on so-called "assault weapons" as 
contained in the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1994.  One of the repeal bills is 
HR 698, sponsored by Representative Jim Chapman (D-TX), which currently 
has some 50 co-sponsors, and HR 424, introduced by Representatives 
Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) and Steve Stockman (R-TX).  Both proposals are in 
the process of being combined into one, and both are endorsed by pro-gun 
rights groups like the National Rifle Association and the Citizen's 
Committee on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  
  The House leadership has also promised to hold a series of oversight 
hearings on federal law enforcement abuses, especially those abuses 
committed under the auspices of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and 
Firearms (BATF).  Speaker Gingrich has threatened to defund any federal 
agency which has turned rogue and has abused its power.

  They have also promised to grant pro-gun rights representatives and 
experts equal time in hearings and in testimony on gun control issues, 
an important statement for all gunowners, as it means our point of view 
will have equal weight when any gun control, "crime control" law is 
considered.  
        Some specific, lawful gunowner-friendly bills submitted in the 
104th Congress include: 

  HR 659--Rep. James Oberstar (D-MN), a bill to amend title 18, US Code, 
to permit Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL holders) to conduct firearms 
business with other such licensees at out-of-state gun shows. (Cmte. on 
the Judiciary) 

  Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), with 32 co-sponsors, a bill to protect 
the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use firearms in defense 
of self, family, or home, and to provide for the enforcement of such
rights. (Cmte. on the Judiciary)

  H. Concurrent Resolution 5--Rep. Philip Crane (R-IL), a concurrent 
resolution expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to the 
rights of all Americans to keep and bear arms in defense of life or 
liberty, and in the pursuit of all other legitimate endeavors. (Cmte. on 
the Judiciary)

        Alas, the anti-gunowner rights forces are still hard at work in 
the Congress.  President Clinton has promised to veto ANY bill which 
contains provisions that "weaken" or repeal the "assault weapon" ban.  
Some examples: 

  HR 915, the "Firearms Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 1995" -- 
Rep.  Charles Schumer (D-NY), fresh from his denunciation of the high-
tech, hyperbarically promoted--and then nonexistent-- "Black Rhino" 
ammunition, has introduced a bill to EXPAND the powers of the BATF to 
"regulate the manufacture, distribution and sale of firearms and ammuni-
tion" and to expand the jurisdiction of the BATF to include "firearm 
products and non- powder firearms", placing the manufacture, sale and 
ownership of BB guns and air guns under Federal control; "restrict the 
availability of weapons that pose an unreasonable risk of death and 
injury...[or] that pose a threat to public safety" by "developing safety 
standards for firearms and related products".  (Cmte. on the Judiciary) 

   HR 492--Rep. Fortney Stark (D-CA), a bill to impose a tax and import 
controls on bullets "expressly designated to penetrate law enforcement 
personnel bullet-proof vests". (Cmte. on Ways and Means) 

  HR 385--Rep. James Traficant (D-OH), to establish a commission respon-
sible for making recommendations for laws "that will control crime" and 
formulating "a national firearms policy without denying Second Amendment 
rights".  (Cmte. on the Judiciary)

  HR 169--Rep. Cardiss Collins (D-IL), a bill to provide for the manda-
tory registration of handguns. (Cmte. on the Judiciary) 

  HR 174--Rep Cardiss Collins (D-IL), a bill to provide for the manu-
facturer, importer or dealer of a handgun or "assault weapon" to be 
"held strictly liable" for damages that result from the use of the 
handgun or "assault weapon".  (Cmte.  on the Judiciary)

  HR 221--Rep. Peter Deutsch (D-FL), co-sponsored by Lantos (D-CA), 
Meehan (D-MA), and Pallone (D-NJ), a bill to amend title 18, US Code, to 
regulate the manufacture , importation and sale of "polymer plastic 
ammunition". (Cmte. on the Judiciary)

  HR 250--Rep, Louis Gutierrez (D-IL), a bill to prohibit the possession 
or transfer of "non-sporting" handguns. (Cmte. on the Judiciary) 

  HR 444--Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY), co-sponsored by Shays (R-CT), 
Slaughter (D-NY), Roukema (R-NJ), Markey (D-MA) and Deutsch (D-FL), a 
bill to amend title 18 , US Code, to regulate the manufacture, importa-
tion and sale of ANY projectile that "may be used in a handgun" and "is 
capable of penetrating police body armor".  (Cmte. on the Judiciary)

  S 200--Sen. Bill Bradley (D-NJ), with Sens. Kohl (D-WI) and Simon (D-
IL), a bill to amend title 18, US Code to regulate the manufacture, 
importation and sale of ANY projectile that "may be used in a handgun" 
and "is capable of penetrating police body armor". (Cmte. on the Judiciary) 

        Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) has filed the following 
three bills dealing with ammunition: 

  S 20--a bill to amend title 18, US Code, with respect ot the licensing 
of ammunition manufacturers and for other purposes. (Cmte. on the Judiciary) 

  S 188--A bill to amend chapter 44 of title 18, US Code, to prohibit 
the manufacture, transfer or importation of .25, .32, and 9 mm. ammuni-
tion. (Cmte.  on the Judiciary)

  S 122--A bill to prohibit the use of certain ammunition, and for other 
purposes. (Cmte. on the Judiciary)

        When such polarized viewpoints are expressed within one legislating 
body, the most likely result of any debate on either new or existing gun 
control laws, when combined with an Executive hostile to gunowners' rights 
which will inevitably be abetted by the elite mass-media which has 
championed gun control for decades, is stalemate.  Steven A Silver, Vice 
President and founding member of the Lawyer's Second Amendment Society 
(LSAS), expressed the difficulty well: 

     "While new 'gun control' may be unlikely, it is equally unlikely 
that existing 'gun control' will be loosened or repealed.  A repeal of 
the Brady Bill or the 'assault weapon' ban was conspicuously absent from 
the Republicans' 'Contract with America'.  More importantly, President 
Clinton would almost certainly veto any such legislation and it seems 
unlikely Congress could override such a veto...our opponents take the 
long view of the battle to infringe our civil rights...they...recognize 
that over the past 30 years, 'gun control' had gone in only one direction:  
more repression and more restrictions...quite simply, despite the occasional 
setback to our opponents, Americans will continue to face ever stricter 
'gun control' until and unless the right to keep and bear arms, guaranteed 
by the Second Amendment, is formally recognized by the Supreme Court as an 
individual right.  Once that happens, Federal-level, and most state-level, 
'gun control' will be cut-off at the knees."

        The solution to the long-term health of the Second Amendment of 
the Constitution of the United States as an individual right lies in the 
education of the public and of the legal system in the United States. 
This can be done at the grassroots level--where American gunowners 
enjoyed some success in the 1994 elections.  Our best armament against 
the shrill emotionalisms and traditional power of the anti-gun rights 
clique are facts, honesty, preparation, and respect for any opposing 
point of view.  Our best forms of expression are in letters to the 
editor, through magazine articles, the talk shows the computer networks, 
and even word of mouth.  We must continue to support those representa-
tives who have expressed their resolve to preserve and defend our gun-
ownership rights.  We must work even more to remove those who would 
strip us of those rights.  We must refute the emotional generalities 
offered as rational arguments for the mass disarming of the American 
public by the elite press with the cold, hard facts of the reality of 
gun ownership, lawful hunting, sport shooting, and armed self-defense.

Anything You Can Do,
I Can Do Better:
The "New" Gun Control Proposals in Albany

        The newest legislative session is looking from the law-abiding 
gunowner's point of view a great deal like the previous one.  According 
to the New York State Senate Internet Gopher connection, the following 
bills have been referred to the codes committee in Albany:

  S1274--Prohibits the sale of ammunition to anyone other than Federal 
Firearms License (FFL) holders, farmers, gun-shooting club members and 
those involved in the military or the government.  It is marked as 
having 8 sponsors as of 2/9/95.

  A1580 (30 "multi-sponsors" as of 1/24),   S705 (prefiled with 15 
sponsors as of 1/4), and   S2146 (1 sponsor as of 2/8)
  All of these proposals are variations on the same theme as the Roberti-
Roos "assault weapon" ban enacted in California and the national ban     
which was part of the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1994.  Highlights include a 
a ban of a long list of firearms by name, and a ban of magazines holding 
more than 9 rounds and shotguns holding more than 5 rounds.  Sound 
familiar?

   S152--Bans any firearm magazine capable of holding more than 9 
rounds, requires a license to "carry, possess, repair, or dispose" of 
firearms, requires a license to own or carry a handgun, requires state 
approval to purchase a rifle or shotgun, and requires that a form be 
filed whenever any gunowner either accidentally or purposely discharges 
a firearm anyplace than at a shooting range or competition, or by a 
licensed hunter.  It has 6 sponsors as of 1/4.

     The "assault weapon" ban and the restrictions on the sale of ammunition 
appear to be the most important (that is, the most likely to pass) at this 
time.  The ban on any gun magazine with a capacity of greater than 9 rounds 
is the most restrictive to ever be proposed.

FOR THIS REASON,YOU ARE URGED TO APPEAR AT THE PRO-FIREARMS LIBERTY 
RALLY

DATE:  Wednesday, March 8, 1995
PLACE:  The Capitol Steps in Albany
TIME:  9:00 am.

RALLY TO LAST APPROX 90 MIN.

While it is recognized that it will be inconvenient for many to attend 
on a weekday, it IS the best time to ensure that our Legislators, who 
will be in session on that day, will hear our voices.  

TIPS FOR THE PRO-LIBERTY RALLY:

1. If you wish to contact your legislator during your visit to the 
   Capitol, it is best to set an appointment in advance. 
2. Bring your hunting/fishing/trapping license to show you pay your way. 
3. Dress for the weather. 
4. Conducting yourself in a respectable manner as a responsible gunowner 
   is vital. 
5. Remember, by law the carrying of any firearm or other dangerous weapon 
   upon State property without authorization is prohibited. 
6. re Buses:  you must contact the New York State Conservation Council 
   office in advance so a permit for parking the bus be obtained. 
7. Please do not bring or wave large signs or posters. 
8. re Parking:  try to carpool if possible.  Look for signs for the 
   Knickerbocker Public Parking Garage, which is approximately 10 minutes 
   from the Capitol steps. 
9. Look for NYS Conservation Council Coordinators for handouts and 
   updates.

  If you cannot come in person, call your legislators' regional or 
capitol office during the week of March 8 and state your views and your 
opinions.  
            COME ALONG AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!

FAST FACTS

Information to Educate the Anti-Gun Rights Clique

   One of the provisions of the so-called "Brady II" gun control law is 
that any individual who wishes to engage in the trade of selling or 
repairing firearmsmust have "a place of business" which is wholly sepa-
rate from their ordinary domicile or other location where they had 
conducted business in the past.  The argument for emplacing such a 
restriction is twofold:  having a "place of business" which is dedicated 
solely to the business of engaging in the sale, trade or repair of 
firearms makes periodic inspection by law enforcement agencies such as 
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) easier, and to prev-
ent a gunrunner equipped with an Federal Firearms License (FFL) from 
"selling guns from the back of a truck".  Of course, it can also be said 
that the reason to impose such a law on law-abiding gun dealers and 
gunsmiths is to ensure that they suffer more financial hardship than any 
other businessperson as punishment for engaging in so nefarious a busi-
ness as the sale or repair of guns to lawful citizens, and to prevent 
any dealer from doing business at gun shows, flea markets or auctions in 
buildings or locations which are not solely dedicated to the trade, 
because these "non-dedicated" locations are hotbeds of illegal activity, 
especially gunrunning to drug gangs and street thugs!

   Unfortunately for the anti-gun rights clique, the basis for the 
argument in favor of such an onerous and harassing law is by and large 
invented out of whole cloth.  The data, compiled by the Bureau of Alco-
hol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), in their 1992 study, "Protecting 
America:  The Effectiveness of the Federal Armed Career Criminal Sta-
tute", indicates that over three-fourths of all firearms used by crim-
nals to commit crimes NEVER arrived in their hands via legitimate means:

   According to the study, the criminals acquired their firearms from 
the following sources-- 

Street (Black Market) Sale:                    37%
Stolen:                                        34%
Purchased by Relative:                          8% 
Purchased at Gun Show/Flea Market:              6%
Retail Purchase:                                7%


(Pie Chart of Data [Grayscale illustration]--Author)

   Since 85% of all firearms in violent felon's hands arrived either a., 
because they stole the gun themselves, b., they bought the gun from a 
black marketeer in their immediate neighborhood, or c., they had a 
relative with no criminal record purchase the gun for them, the provi
sion of requiring "a place of business" that is dedicated solely to the 
purpose of dealing in firearms cannot hold water as a crime-fighting 
tool, and any law that carries such a provision cannot be declared as 
"anti crime" in nature.  It is, like the many gun control, "crime control"
provisions like it which blame firearms for the actions of violent 
felons, rather than holding the criminal responsible for the injury and 
pain they cause.  It is so much spinach.
