ANTI-GUNNERS AND THEIR BRUSHES WITH THE LAW

It seems that anti-gun extremists are having all sorts of trouble
with the
law. Last week we told you about the conviction of Robert Brennan.
This
week it’s two noted anti-gun U.S. Senators. The April 23 edition of
Roll
Call revealed that, according to a Federal Election Commission (FEC)
audit, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) 1998 Senate campaign
failed
to properly handle its finances. Schumer’s spokespeople shrugged off
the
FEC report, admitting there were errors, but claiming they were
quickly
corrected. Another anti-gun U.S. Senator, Robert Torricelli
(D-N.J.), is
facing an embarrassing investigation of his own. Torricelli has been
accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in unreported
gifts, an
allegation first revealed by the New York Times. Apparently the
anti-gun
community is simply numerically-challenged. After all, the so-called
“Million” Mom March didn’t have anywhere near a million moms at last
year’s “march”?the One Hundred-Thousand-or-so Mom March would have
been a
far more accurate name?and HCI President Michael Barnes
intentionally
misled Congress earlier this year when his testimony implied that 11
children die every day from firearm-related accidents?in fact, there
was a
total of 121 firearm-related accidents involving children in all of
1998!
