Harry Browne (Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate) and Bloomfield Press Endorsements
June 12, 2000 (Boise, Idaho) Harry Browne, Libertarian candidate for the Presidency, has endorsed the Fifty Million Round March. In
commenting on the current state of Second Amendment rights in America and endorsing the Fifty Million Round March, Mr. Browne said,
"Honest Americans will continue to be at a disadvantage to armed criminals until the current 20,000 gun laws are repealed. None of these
laws stops violent crime; all of them intrude into our privacy and our ability to defend ourselves. Thus I wish the Fifty Million Round
March well."
Alan Korwin, author of "Gun Laws in America," and founder of Bloomfield Press (the largest publisher of gun law books in the country), who
has been following the march preparations, made the following comments regarding the Fifty Million Round March and its prospects, "They're
going to try to fire off fifty million rounds of ammunition at training ranges across America on Sunday, and I'll bet they do it. The
mainstream media has been silent about it, but men everywhere seem to be looking forward to it. It's simple and elegant -- a wholesome
family outing in support of the Bill of Rights."
On Father's Day, June 18th, and at other times throughout the year, Fathers and their families, friends and neighbors will gather at gun
ranges all over the country to shoot simultaneously over fifty million rounds as a demonstration of their determination to preserve their
second amendment rights. At the events, they will write letters to their elected representatives charging them to not infringe upon those
rights.
In addition to the March itself, through a collaboration with J.J. Johnson and his Sierra Times [www.sierratimes.com], a "Fifty Million
Round Photo Gallery" of pictures of fathers, their families, and their children exercising their Second Amendment rights at the various
Fifty Million Round March events will be made available on-line. Speaking of the planned Fifty Million Round Photo Gallery, Johnson says,
"The goal of this collaboration is to gather one hundred thousand fathers and their children and families on Father's day at the gun
range, and to compile an historic record of their commitment to their inherently American right to bear arms, as well as the American gun
owners' ongoing commitment to safe and responsible gun handling."
In a further development, the Fifty Million Round March also has announced an agreement with OughtSix Wear [www.oughtsix.com] to produce
T-shirts and other articles for the Fifty Million Round March events. The T-shirts are available for on-line ordering now at both the
Ought Six and the 50 Million Round March web sites.
Please note: Organizers of the Fifty Million Round March event are scheduling talk radio interviews for the rest of June and July. Any
interested parties are requested to direct inquiries to Joanie Fischer [50mrmarch-joanie@bigfoot.com]

I am ashamed of some here who are of the "don't do it, they'll make fun of us..." crowd.
Before the Phoenix-area Million Mom March counter demonstration I told people I was going to rent a Ryder truck and wrap it in black plastic to serve as a canvas for painting pro-gun messages and then circle Patriots Square Park during the entire demonstration.
I was told that I would be made to look like a fool by the press and some would think I had ammonium nitrate explosive in it. It would recall images of Timothy McVie and Oklahoma City.
Damn good thing I didn't listen to those wimps. Our side cheered the truck and gave them some spirit in the 100 degree heat. I even made a call to Tom Gresham's "Gun Talk" radio show that Sunday as I was in the truck, circling.
The truck was soooo damaging to our side that the press completely ignored it. No mentions in print, nothing on the TV or radio, no column-inches in the paper. But the MMMers knew I was there, and the Phoenix police gave me thumbs up.
When I planned to intercept guns heading for the smelter at a local, and heavily publicized gun buyback (I was going to give them to Arizona Game and Fish Hunter Safety Program), they said the same thing. They said, "What good is it going to do our cause if you get arrested?"
There was no way that I would get arrested since I was violating no laws. I knew this but the nay-sayers were able to convince several people not to show. After the fact they e-mailed me to say that they wished they had been in on the fun.
Do this thing. If your local range doesn't have anything scheduled, call them up and tell them about it. If they don't want to do anything about it, you go out and estimate the number of rounds shot at your range and send it to the web page.
Gun owners are some of the biggest couch-sitting tweakers I have ever met. A pox on some of you. Kudos to the rest of you.

If you are worried about the target being perceived as a threat - Don't Identify Yourself.
Since I will be busy on Sunday, we (kids and I) went to the range yesterday. I shot my target to send in, using my Glock 21 at 25 feet. Wrote on it "I shoot, I vote. Thank you for supporting our Constitutional rights." and signed my name.
My Congresscritter is John Linder, a Republican who is on our side. I figure, like some of y'all, that this is a no-lose.
