Dear Neighbor:

What a beautiful weekend we just had!

Unfortunately, as often is the case for those of us in this area, the
disturbing sounds of Liberals filled the air all day Sunday starting at 9:00 a.m.
Ranting on television, in churches and synagogues, and coffee shops echo
through the living rooms and kitchens, across hills and dense morning air
like a thousand rabid bats, gibbering and drooling, their fascistic screeches
penetrating the morning quiet like the ACLU at a Boy Scout meeting. Often,
we also hear the hate-filled, anti-American rhetoric after dark as both the
Sierra Club and the Million Mom Marchers -- enjoying the enormous wealth
conferred by their multinational backers and tax-free status -- are both equipped
with expensive lights and high-powered sound equipment for 24 hour
demagoguery. Both these and many similar hate groups are heard in our area.

I feel that the rights of those relatively few individuals who so dearly want nothing more
than to stomp on the necks of the rest of us -- for our own good, of course -- need to be
balanced with the rights of the majority of us to the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of our
land, our homes, or freedoms, and our sacred honor. I contend that the hours of Liberal public hatred of America need to be reduced, that all available noise abatement techniques be
put into place, and that the nighttime and early morning public flaunting of Liberal
brain damage be completely curtailed.

If not for us, then for the children.

A small group of people from throughout the State has organized to address
the problem of hate speech from Liberals. If you have also found the noise
disturbing and offensive, please join us in working to restore the peace and
quite to which we are entitled. I would be happy to notify you of our
next meeting. If you would like notification, please e-mail me at
BeQuiet!@aol.com

Thank you,

Woodit
 
Another way to harass gunners. Publlic nuisance and all that. Look for local zoning officials in various people's republics (states) to pile on.

Also look for the expanding environmental angle to show up also. Lead is a hazardous substance the these immoral, unethical, polluting, and downright evil guners are destroying everyone's environment. Also look for this angle to be hooked to the children. Lead based paint was totally outlawed because of the children. Look for the same approach to lead used in handguns.

WAGCEVP: is VTGUNS an organization? I'm in VT and would be interested in lending support. And I will certainly keep my ears open to this movement. Unfortunately, the only shooting range I ever knew of in this area (Addison County) was run out of town years ago.
 
Here in GA a gun club had to close its rifle and pistol range, it's just over the bridge in rural SC. It was there long before the yuppies came to build their little home in the south but for some reason the clubs lawyers cannot fight them. I hate it when people move to the country then bitch about country life.
 
Happens everywhere. Sometimes I think VT is the worst as far as that's concerned. Try cow manure as an issue!
 
People who move to the country then compain because Starbucks is too far away... make me ill.

Kodiac's Law - Title 1 Section 1:
All People should have the right to do whatever the hell they want - as long as it doesnt interfere with others... should that happen - the Others have a right to STOMP A MUD HOLE in that person.
 
labgrade has a point (as usual).

The use of silencers is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED in the European countries that still allow their citizens to own firearms.
