Clinton's Bigger Gun Ban

This is the intro from: http://www.nra.org/pub/ila/1997/97-10-24_faxalert_bigger_gun_ban THE BIGGER CLINTON GUN BAN As reported in Wednesday's Special FAX Alert, the Clinton- Gore Administration is planning to issue a directive to ban certain types of foreign-made firearms from coming into this country. We believe the White House will move to stop all commerce in certain semi-automatic firearms that conform in every way to the legal requirements set forth in both the Clinton Gun Ban of 1994 and the 1989 import ban. Sources also suggest that the directive will order the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to convene a study group to further narrow the scope of firearms that qualify for importation under the "sporting purposes" test. Given past action, a ban on all imported handguns is not unlikely. In response to this directive, Congressman Bob Barr (R-Ga.) held a press conference on Capitol Hill today with NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, NRA-ILA Executive Director Tanya K. Metaksa, and other pro-Second Amendment congressmen, including, Jim Barcia (D-Mich.), Pete Sessions (R-Tex.), Virgil Goode (D-Va.), and Wes Watkins (R-Okla.) "The Clinton Administration is introducing the Bigger Clinton Gun Ban of 1998 - still another prohibition that bans more guns and shows more hypocrisy than ever before," emphasized Mrs. Metaksa. She added, "From the White House to Handgun Control, Inc., every gun ban advocate in America is busy confirming everything NRA has ever said about the 1994 gun ban." Basically, that it's an ineffective cosmetic ban and that Clinton's efforts to ban guns in 1994 was only a precursor to bigger, more restrictive bans. All NRA members are encouraged to contact your U.S. Representative at (202)224-3121, to urge him to oppose the President's attempt to ban more semi-automatic firearms -- semi-autos that his 1994 ban previously ok'd! In the meantime, NRA-ILA will continue to update our members as we learn more about Clinton's latest attack on America's law-abiding gun owners.

William Louis Pol J. Pot speaks...
by TruthMonger 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

FROM MOUNTAIN MEDIA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATED OCT. 27, 1997 THE LIBERTARIAN, By Vin Suprynowicz Pol pot speaks On Oct. 16 Nate Thayer, an American correspondent for the weekly Far Eastern Economic Review, conducted the first known interview since 1979 with Cambodian Communist Pol Pot. The New York Times printed excerpts Oct. 23. ... From 1975 and 1979, as summarized by The New York Times, Pol Pot "turned his country into a vast labor camp, driving people from the cities and forcing them to work in the fields in primitive conditions. In the name of a radical agrarian ideal, he slaughtered the middle class; professionals, monks, artists -- anyone with an education, anyone with glasses. ... ... That death toll would be equivalent to executing 75 million Americans. And what does the enfeebled mass murderer now have to say? "Our movement made mistakes," he graciously acknowledges ... "I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people," Pol Pot still insists. "We had no other choice" but to kill political opponents, he argues. "Naturally, we had to defend ourselves." But "To say that millions died is too much. ... Even now, and you can look at me: am I a savage person? My conscience is clear." ... And now, the sheer mundanity of this tired old man, confined to a hut and insisting there were "only hundreds of thousands." ... Even if the survivors in righteous indignation were to seize Pol Pot and tear him limb from limb, the central, nagging question would remain: "Even now, and you can look at me: am I a savage?" No. Pol Pot is not a savage. ... It took the massive organization of the modern nation-state -- the division of labor with its apparent dilution of responsibility, welded to the pervasive notion that academy-trained government "experts" know better than the common folk how society should be organized, and have the right to enforce those plans by force -- to allow Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot to engage in "social engineering" on this scale. Nor were any of these characters stupid, or even uneducated. Pol Pot studied under the best of France's socialist intellectuals. That is what finally must be acknowledged here. These mass murders were an exercise in the gratification of intellectual notions of how best to "improve" society. A letter writer recently commented that it would be absurd to blame Pol Pot's socialist university professors in Paris for what he eventually did. No, it is not. Ideas have consequences. The idea that the wise "social engineers" of government have some right first to conscript our youth into mandatory uniform propaganda camps ("public schools"), then to begin "licensing" our chosen jobs, then to seize huge hunks of our incomes to fund these schemes (higher percentages from the rich, of course, as they seek like Pol Pot to "level things"), and finally to catalog and track our employment as well as our cars, our guns, and our money, will eventually lead by logical and inevitable progression to government deciding -- under the guise of whatever "emergency" proves convenient -- who lives and who dies. What thing did government ever find in its power, and not eventually try? This is what is really being debated, when lonely voices cry out for "less government meddling in our lives," while the statists now in power (yes, including "conservative Republicans") respond, "Sure, sure, We hear you. Less government, right. But first we just need to institute this new nationally standardized drivers license with an electronically scannable fingerprint, and a way to eavesdrop on all your phone calls and e-mail, and a new law to require your bank to report any cash transaction over $2500. "But we'll get around to giving you that smaller, less intrusive government you keep voting for, one of these days real soon. Just as soon as we outlaw eight more kinds of firearms before lunch. After all, private citizens aren't allowed to own firearms, at all, in really (start ital)civilized(end ital) countries like Germany, Russia, China, and Cambodia. Meantime, I'm afraid you'll have to get in line over there to give us your urine sample. ..." But they don't mean for it ever to go as far as it went in Cambodia. Honest. And if some of their armed henchmen (start ital)do(end ital) occasionally get carried away ... well, they can always claim "self-defense," or quibble about the numbers.
