I found this on Geocities:
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/8001/index.html
what a cute little "Gun Control Page" it is.
The section on Handguns is really interesting, in only one short paragraph the webmaster gives "facts" telling exactly why we need gun control:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>The primary function of the handgun is to kill a human being. Unlike rifles or shotguns, they serve no practical sporting purpose. Moreover, the handgun can be concealed easily, making it the weapon of choice for criminals. It is the concealable handgun which threatens and intimidates the citizens of the US not the rifle or shotgun. Rifles and shotguns make up nearly two-thirds of the firearms in the US, but account for only one-third of all firearm crime. Handguns comprise only one-third of all firearms, but account for two-thirds of firearm, crime and over 80% of all firearm homicides. The Department of Justice reported that handguns were used in a record 1,118,8909 violent crimes in 1993, accounting for 9,6% of all violent crimes. [/quote]
I never realized that "handguns serve no practical sporting purpose." I'm sure glad they told me that. I guess all the people who use handguns for hunting and shooting matches must just be practicing for thier next attack on a human, huh?
This is a prime example of the mentality we're up against. There is an email address on this page, so if you're looking for something to do, you might throw an email at this person (hard). I know I plan to...
(I usually hang out in the handgun forum, but I thought this would fit better here)

"...That is why, I pack my .25. Where nobody knows, right above my boot. It's the law, no one there to serve you. Why not be the hero? Why not be your own? Swear I'll kill you!.." Porno for Pyros - Packin' 25
