Clinton Orders Recall of “Pro Gun” Quarters

President Clinton this morning will announce a total
recall by the U.S. Mint of 400 million 25 cent pieces which feature an
armed man on its reverse side.
The quarter was released earlier this year as part of a 10-year program of
commemorating each state’s entry into the Union with a specially designed
reverse side denoting its date of entry and featuring designs approved by
each state and the Mint.
Last year, five quarters were released without controversy. However, the
first quarter in this year’s batch, which honors Massachusetts, has drawn
outrage from childrens groups, gun control advocates and others.
The reverse of the Massachusetts quarter features an engraving of the state
with a Minuteman holding a flintlock rifle embossed over it. Sarah Brady,
out-going president of Hand Gun Control, Inc., said she was “livid” and
“nearly had a stroke” the first time she saw the gun-toting man on the
quarter. She said she felt betrayed by the Clinton administration, which
recently re-named the White House press briefing room in honor of her
husband James Brady, who was grievously wounded by gunfire in an
assassination attempt on President Reagan. Brady added that the quarter
brought back “horrible memories” of that day.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) who was promoted to the Senate two years ago
from the House in part for his staunch gun-control advocacy, said he first
saw the offensive quarter when he was playing “quarters” with Sen. Kennedy
(D-Mass.) at a Capitol Hill watering hole.
Schumer says he was draining a pint of Rolling Rock after Kennedy had
bounced a quarter into it and reacted in “horror” when he saw a man with a
gun
pointed at him through the bottom of the glass, causing him to drop it and
dive under the table.

Kennedy joined him under the table, thinking Schumer
had a waitress down there. Instead of a hotty, he
found the quarter which frightened his colleague.
Shumer says they both said at the same time, “That quarter is dangerous !”
Marianne Wright Edelman, head of the Children’ Defense Fund says she is
“upset” and “scared for the
children” who will see the “bad man with a gun” on the quarter and get the
message that “guns are cool.” She says the quarter will undermine years of
efforts to teach children that guns are dangerous and should only be owned
by the government.
A chagrined President Clinton, responding quickly to head off an
election-year snafu that could hurt his fellow Democrats, ordered every
Massachusetts quarter taken out of circulation and destroyed. A design to
replace the gun-toting militia man has not been chosen yet.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and
strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a
woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.
