We are down to the wire, when it comes to electing a president. As
much as I would like to believe a 3rd party candidate can make it,
the hard cold facts plainly declare they are dead in the water, for
they simply are NOT known. They have been choked out of the mainstream
press, so the “educational process” has been voided. MOST Americans
only know of Gore, or Bush to vote for.

I have read (and even contributed) to the negative comments about
Governor George Bush. He is better than Gore over gun rights, but is
to some extent, a compromiser. But mark my words, he is not GORE!
What REALLY got my attention was Bush’s pick for the Vice President
slot, Mr. Dick Cheney, which is VERY pro-gun, comparatively to Rep.
Ron Paul or Sen. Bob Smith. You need to go and read the article we
sent out about Dick Cheney’s voting record. No doubt this article
is one of the most important articles we have sent this year! Go to:

Also, below is a very interesting article from my dear Australian friend
from “down under”. We need to learn from our Brothers in Arms in Australia.
He gives his opinion over the election we face in November 2000.

I urge you to consider what we face in this election. There will be a few
supreme court appointments by the next president, as well. Will they be
anti-gun or pro-gun appointments?? AMERICA – ARE YOU SLEEPING?

With Respect,

# # # # # BEGIN E-MAIL FROM AUSTRALIAN FRIEND # # # # #

Chris,

I have followed with great interest the posts and news briefs on the
Presidential election between George Bush and Al Gore and in
particular Gore’s pronouncements prior to and during the campaign
about ‘sensible gun laws’.

I am convinced that much of Gore’s calls for these laws are comes
directly from Rebecca Peters, late of gun control fame in Australia
and New Zealand, now sponsored by the Souros Foundation in the US and
the HCI and it’s clones.

The reason I am convinced is the striking similarity between Gore’s
plans and the reality of the laws now in place in my country.

Examples are the push with Clinton for closing the ‘gun show
loophole’ which is now implemented in Australia by forbidding the
transfer of firearms from one owner to another either by sale or
gift, except through a licenced firearm dealer so that there is a
paper trail of who owns the guns. Add to this the fact that no one
can own a gun unless they have appropriate licence and your licence
details include all firearms approved under that licence including
make, model and serial numbers.

Recently I gave one of my pistols to my daughter for her to shoot and
I had to firstly have her apply for her pistol licence, then apply
for permission for her to acquire a handgun, deposit the handgun with
my local firearms dealer on his firearms register, wait for
permission for her to acquire the pistol come through, and then take
the police permission form to the dealer before he could then list
the new owner in his register before my daughter could take it home.
How long did this take? About 3 months.

Next example is the call for gun owners to show a government approved
need to own a firearm – if you can’t prove that you meet the
government list of approved needs – you simply cannot get a licence -
no licence, no gun. That is of course for law abiding citizens.

Once Gore gets that one in – all he has to do is change by regulation
the approved list of needs to remove self defence, just like in
Australia, he won’t need more legislation to do it. Once this is in
for handguns – it’s a breeze to include all firearms

Next, like Australia, hunting with handguns will be banned in all
States – whoops there goes another approved reason to own a hand gun.
Like the death of a thousand cuts it will come to you bit by bit
until he has bled you to death.

And finally the ultimate will be the removal of self defence as a
valid government approved reason to carry any thing that could be a
weapon at all, pocket knives, sprays, ballistic vests. I remember
speaking to a good friend of mine in the local police force about
self defence and the means of implementing it if needed, especially
for my wife and daughters. His advice was interesting. He said that
they should carry hairspray or something similar that could be
carried by a women without any undue comments, and be prepared to use
it in an assailants eyes. But he stressed this – on no account
should they ever say that they were carrying it in case they were
attacked if they had to use it. If they did they would be charged
with carrying an offensive weapon without any question about it.

It’s the same if I am walking with a cane – I can use it if necessary
but I must make sure that I do not make any mention of carrying it
for self defence purposes and naturally only employ necessary force
to repel the threat.

The bottom line is this is what the likes of Rebecca Peters pushed
for in Australia and New Zealand and this is what our cowardly
politicians agreed to. Al Gore wants the same and if the American
public is not vigilant enough – guns will go first then everything
else.

Bush may not be the best – but he may well be your last chance. I
shudder to think what the events may be with Gore and his cronies in
the White House.

Your friend,

(name omitted for privacy)
