Something to think about...

LethalLaws.com brings us Making money on gun control...:

DeLay claims that, 'we must not let our victories of the past eight years...'. What victories? How was your civil right to be armed expanded over those eight years (1994-2002)? What bans - on imports or possession by law abiding persons - were lifted? What taxes on firearms were cut? During those years, the Clinton administration waged war on Federally licensed firearms dealers, boosting fees, and using every means to force thousands to give up their licenses and close legitimate tax paying businesses.

In fact, the Republicans did nothing to help you, when their solid majorities in both Houses enabled them to do so. DeLay so states: 'not a single anti SecondAmendment federal law has been passed since Republicans took control of the United States House of Representatives in 1994'. But what was done to make things better? DeLay concedes that when the Republicans had solid majorities, they did nothing to roll-back the useless but repressive Gun Control Act of 1968. To be sure, the now infamous Lautenberg Gun Ban which disarmed those convicted of a mere shouting match with a family member became law in 1996 when both Houses of Congress were controlled by Republicans. For more information on this law go to: Gun Owners of America.

At the end of this letter, DeLay concedes the truth: he seeks only to 'protect your rights', degraded as they have been over the decades. He seems unable to imagine restoring the original luster to the Second Amendment, by peeling back the decades of filth heaped upon it by Democrat administrations.

Republicans, especially anti gun Republicans are fond of telling gun owners, you have nowhere else to go. Not true! Law abiding firearms owners, defenders of the Second Amendment have the right and the obligation to vote for a pro gun third party candidate if that will cause an anti gun Republican to lose an election. If enough anti gun Republicans lose elections then the party leaders might wake up and FORCE elected Republican's to adhere to the party platform. It is interesting to note that during President Bill Clinton's administration, the Democratic party enforced party unity and discipline to their platform calling for severe restrictions and in some cases out right bans on the ownership and use of firearms by the law abiding.

There is a reason for this. Many Republicans accept gun control in concept, but simply want to make it "reasonable" or "common sense". Will DeLay make sure they don't get a dime of your money? We doubt it? Considering that he is interested in "Defending Our [his] Majority"

We point out that with at least 240 million firearms in the United States (BATF data), gun control cannot be made to work. Of 281 million Americans, only a tiny criminal minority abuses firearms. These violent criminals will be able to get the few they need, even if every firearm in America vaporized. The UK, an island, banned handguns four years ago, but faces soaring levels of criminality, including crimes involving handguns: the handguns are smuggled into Britain, or were never given up by the criminals.

Thus DeLay's quest for your money is as fraudulent as are the claims of gun control advocates, who claim that "gun free" societies are safer.
