I was just curious if you are pro-gun or anti-gun. It seems,from
the letters I looked thru, you lean towards the anti-gun crowd.
Either way, I am a proud life member of the NRA. I think this
is the best move I have made. To those people that believe we
don't need guns hopefully they will never be in a situation where
it is needed and not be available. You people(anti-gun) need to
wake up and realize that the police cannot protect you 24/7. You
must take personnal responsibility for your own safety and that
of your family(nobody will or can). Long live the right to keep
and bear arms(both open and concealed). Thank God for the right
to do so.

The anti-gun people, the anti-tobacco people, the anti-abortion
people and the anti-drug people all have quite a bit in common.
Members of these prestigious groups cannot think or make decisions
for themselves, they don't want others to be able to and they
despise those who are capable of thinking and making decisions
for themselves. In short, they're all carved out of the same lump
of shit. That's why most of them (except the anti-drug and abortion
people) vote Democrat. When you vote Democrat, you are basically
telling the candidate that you are mentally incompetent. The 2000
Presidential Election is proof that most Americans are mentally
incompetent. More than half voted for Gore. In the end, they got
what they deserved, FUCKED!! I laughed my ass off when the sobbing
sisters and weak kneed brothers howled when Bush won and I laughed
until I cried when Ashcroft was nominated!! However, I DO NOT
agree with everything Bush supports. I think the War on Drugs
is an expensive joke and our nations drug laws are a fraud. And
as for him opposing abortion, I think he needs a reality check.
There's too many people in the world. But the main thing, people
who support gun control should be found guilty of treason, plain
and simple. They don't deserve to live in this country. I'm not
going to sit here all day b/c I've got things to do. I will say
one last thing. All you sinister Nazi-sympathizng gun grabbers
can forget about seeing a gun control bill pass through Congress
for a long time. Unfortunately for you assholes, the gun control
agenda was smashed into the World Trade Center.

you people are really menatlly ill in my opinon. Are you all
Dimocrats? Do you have Janet Reno underware on? (Yes, I spelled
Dimocrat right) All your bulbs are burnt out as far as I and millions
of others are concerned. In my opinion!

Dear editors,
"In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy
of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot."
Czeslaw Milosz, Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Dec 1980
I am so pleased to stumble upon your site, via Buzzflash. This
is wonderful. I think that this issue, this notion that guns are
a cornerstone of American civilization has harmed our society,
our culture and our stature in the world.
I do not believe that hunters should not have their rifles, but
I do not agree that they need AK47s to shoot deer.
This has gone way out of hand and I am concerned re the personality-types
who seem to be so enamored with guns. They are brought way too
easily to irrational rage, and, they are armed to the teeth, all
in the name of being "good" Americans. The irony of
this is very clear and your work, your enlightenment can only
help.
Keep putting sunshine on the truth. It is musical, these pistol
shots of truth.
Kind regards,

I enjoyed reading your review of the AK-47 page at http://members.tripod.com/sa93/ak47.html.
Although I consider myself strongly pro-gun rights I do read and
sincerely try to understand alternative points of view, so I hope
you don't see this as a hostile reply.
It may seem odd from your perspective that some gun collectors
and history buffs, whom I presume you assume to be staunchly on
the political right, would honor Mr. Kalashikov and his most famous
creation, the AK-47. Please allow me to offer that in my experience
most people who collect classic firearms are far more interested
in the weapon's involvement in human history and in the mechanics
of the device itself than in its potential for misuse by criminals,
or in the politics of the country in which it was developed.
I don't own an AK myself as obtaining one legally while living
under Caliban rule would be impossible (short of founding my own
town and declaring myself Chief of Police), but I do collect old
military firearms. As an amateur machinist I recognize the elegance
and beauty inherent in the design and manufacture of guns, which
often represent the best available metallurgy and manufacturing
process of their time.
At the risk (perhaps near certainty) of being labelled as picky,
I have to point out that none of the US crimes you mentioned (CIA
headquarters; Wakefield, MA; Stockton, CA; or Louisville, KY)
was an actual AK-47 used. All of those cases involved semiautomatic-only
versions of or "clones" of the Kalashnikov design, which
do share many parts with a real AK but are incapable of automatic
fire. The semiautomatic clones were developed specifically for
the American consumer market, allowing American gun collectors,
casual target shooters, and unfortunately in some cases violent
criminals to own and use these amazingly robust, reliable, durable
rifles.
Carry on your good work. I look forward to reading your future
colums.

There will always be people out there that will want to take
advantage or do harm to my Daughter, Wife, Family But you will
not see my Daughter, Wife and the rest of my Family become victims
to these people because their guns will protect them. Live in
today's world and teach your family to protect themselves. Don't
lose a loved one because you lived in a make believe world were
the bad guys have no guns.

Don’t know where you guy get your info but I can print just
as much about people protecting themselves (with Guns) as you
can about the people that are unprotected getting hurt. By the
way I own an AK-47 and have a ball taking it to the range and
shooting it. It is no more dangerous than any other automatic
rifle. I sleep safe at night knowing that my family is protected
from the bad guys that you want to protect. How do you account
for the worst act of terror in this country had nothing to do
with guns! Fools! If the passengers had been allowed to protect
themselves then the twin towers would still be standing tall.
In a free society it is up to the people to protect themselves
and you would take that right away. I have a good idea though,
move, there are countries that ascribe to your ideology, of course
you might not live long enough to enjoy it. By the way I would
be proud if you print this!
