SAMUEL "MACHINE GUN SAMMY" ALITO


is WANTED for:

-Voting to strike down the 1986 federal machine gun ban. In the 1996 case U.S. v. Rybar, Judge Alito was the lone dissenter in the decision upholding the conviction of a gun dealer who sold illegal machine guns at a Pennsylvania gun show.

-Possession of an unusual and extremely restrictive view of Congressional regulatory power. Alito (also called "Scalito" by his associates because of his similarity to conservative Judge Antonin Scalia) is known to possess views that could imperil virtually every federal law that regulates firearms, ammunitions, and explosives.

-Known consortion with practically criminal organizations, including the NRA. The NRA's opinions almost completely mirror Alito's own, as they also worked to destroy the 1986 federal machine gun ban, and made plans to "actively work toward the repeal of the recent machine gun ban and will take all necessary steps to educate the public on the sporting uses and legal ownership of automatic firearms." Their efforts in that case failed.

-Threatening the future of the country. If Samuel Alito's minority opinion were to become reflected in our nation's Supreme Court, all Americans would be at even greater risk from uncontrollable firearms proliferation. In a time of increased concern from terrorist threat, Alito's views aren't just radical, they're dangerous.

"MACHINE GUN SAMMY" IS TO BE CONSIDERED
ARMED (with extreme political views)
AND DANGEROUS (to the nation's future) AT ALL TIMES!

Approach with caution, and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you approve this man's nomination to the Supreme Court.

Gee. I like him already. Notice the take on "Italian Gangster" in this? I wonder if they would have put him in a sombrero and crossed cartridge belts if he was Latino? Probably. Only Democrats deserve protection from rascist stereotypes. :mad:

How about you forward that information to Alito's staff, and see if they wish to make an issue of the fact that VPC is engaging in character assassination via racist/bigoted stereotypes.


-blackmind
 
Also give the NRA a heads up since they have blantently(sp) said that it's a criminal organization.

I'm guessing that's slander.

Probably not slander (verbal) or libel (written). There is a pretty high standard when it comes to people and organizations in the public eye. But I will forward it to them.

How about some of you folks send that off to your local newspaper editors. They usually have an email address. Include the Latino comment. Who knows, they might print an editorial.

Finally, anyone have an idea of who is on the staff for furthering the Alito confirmation? Got an email addy?
 
Got a link to the VPC website from which this was taken? I can find nothing like it on their site.

I'd like some evidence that it wasn't created by a well-intentioned pro-gun website to try and make the VPC look foolish.

TFL won't be a part of spreading lies, even when they help advance the cause of freedom.

Waiting...
 
It was in an email that I received from "The Gun Guys." (I'm on VPC's mailing list).

Here is the text of the email, I'd be happy to forward it to you:

Oh, and I do resent the implication...
 
Thanks, JD. :)

wwwdotgunguysdotcom is an anti-gun site, but do we know that it is run by the VPC? DomainsbyProxy is the registrant.

All I'm getting at is that the title of this thread needs to be accurate. If there is no substantive link between VPC and gunguysdotcom, I'd like to see the title changed.
 
Title changed, JD. Thanks for understanding.

Any tax lawyers here?

Recent Study Shoots Down 'More Guns Less Crime' Myth

Study Shoots Down 'More Guns Less Crime' Myth; Findings of Pro-Gun Researcher John Lott Assailed

Chicago, IL - A study included in a just-released book debunks the claim by leading pro-gun researcher John Lott that allowing Americans to carry concealed handguns leads to less crime.

The book "Evaluating Gun Policy," published by the Brookings Institution Press, includes research by Professor John Donohue Ph.D., J.D., Stanford University Law School, and Professor Ian Ayres Ph.D., J.D., Yale Law School, that concludes Carry Concealed Weapons (CCW) laws do not decrease crime; they may, in fact, have just the opposite effect.

John Lott wrote the 1998 book "More Guns, Less Crime," which is championed by the gun lobby as a major research work that proves CCW laws reduce crime. Lott's scholarship -- including "More Guns, Less Crime" -- and actions, however, have recently come under attack on a variety of fronts.

For instance, John Lott, who is currently a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, has come under fire for pretending to be a woman over the Internet (using the name "Mary Rosh") to defend himself against his critics. "Mary Rosh" claimed to be a student of John Lott's and praised his research. In addition, several academicians are seeking answers from John Lott about questions involving a telephone survey Lott claims to have done for "More Guns, Less Crime." Lott can't produce evidence the phone survey took place, claiming that his computer crashed.

John Donohue called Lott's conclusions -- that citizens carrying loaded handguns in public helps to reduce crime -- "deeply flawed" and "misguided." Donohue states in the Brookings Institution Press book that data suggests that, in fact, crime may increase when CCW laws are implemented.

Lott's study has been widely cited by gun advocates as justification for passing CCW laws that require states to issue handgun-carrying permits to citizens who meet minimum requirements (shall-issue laws).

Lott claimed that the 10 states that enacted shall-issue laws between 1985 and 1991 experienced declines in murder and other violent crimes relative to the crime trends observed in other states that did not pass shall-issue laws. In contrast, Donohue contends that the 13 states that enacted shall-issue laws after 1992 experienced relative increases in crime.

"The evidence is stronger that passing shall-issue concealed weapons laws are increasing crime, rather than decreasing crime, " said John Donohue Ph.D., J.D. "I don't see any strong data that shall-issue laws are decreasing crime."

The challenge to Lott's scholarship is similar to that faced by former Emory University Professor Michael Bellesiles. His book, "Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun-Culture in 2000, was almost immediately attacked when it was published. Eventually, Emory University formally investigated the issue and found that Bellesiles had misled critics and falsified data. Michael Bellesiles resigned during the investigation. Thus far, the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, has not yet commented on the accusations made against Lott.

Lott most recently authored "The Bias Against Guns," released by Regnery, a conservative publishing house.
