LEGISLATIVE UPDATE (Thursday, September 14, 2000):

A. Shocking Revelation From Gov. Allen

Many Virginians were shocked yesterday when they read that former
Gov. George Allen is supporting the 1994 Clinton-Feinstein ban on
certain household firearms.

The Washington Post quoted Allen yesterday as saying that he would
leave in place the ban on more than 180 types of semi-automatic
firearms and magazines holding more than 10 rounds.

Allen, who is running against Sen. Chuck Robb (D) for the U.S.
Senate, said that, "I would not repeal the existing ban.... I would
vote to continue the existing law."

GOA called the Allen office yesterday and confirmed this quote with
them.

B. Allen Press Release Plugs Gun Control

Allen issued a press release this week which stated that, "My main
goal is to fight crime and drugs, control criminals, enforce the
many existing gun laws, and not infringe on the rights of
law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families."

Read that again. Allen wants to "enforce the many existing gun
laws." His statement above is a contradiction. One can't enforce
existing gun laws and not infringe people's rights. Gun control IS
AN INFRINGEMENT of our 2nd Amendment rights.

C. Gun Owners Must Make Their Voices Heard

GOA encourages ALL pro-gun activists to contact the Allen office!
Please call or write the campaign office and ask Allen to oppose ALL
self-defense infringements.

Make sure the Allen campaign knows that kissing off pro-gun voters
is a dangerous gambit. Urge him to stand up for the 2nd Amendment.

----- Pre-written message -----

Dear Gov. Allen,

When Gun Owners of America told me you were supporting the 1994
Clinton-Feinstein gun ban, I was quite shocked. In The Washington
Post did you really mean to say you would "not repeal the existing
ban" on certain household firearms?

Please tell me it's not so. The Second Amendment protects the right
of all decent Americans to keep and bear arms. The Amendment states
that this precious right "shall not be infringed."

That is why I must respectfully disagree with your position on the
draconian gun laws that are already on the books. It is impossible
to enforce the existing gun laws and, at the same time, to respect
the rights of law-abiding citizens. Anti-gun restrictions ARE
INFRINGEMENTS upon my God-given right to defend my family and
myself.

Just think what could have happened if the Clinton-Feinstein ban was
in place during the Los Angeles riots of 1992. When the police and
National Guard were refusing to protect the people of that city, it
was the Korean-Americans who used their semi-automatic firearms to
defend their families and their stores.

Not surprisingly, their stores were the only ones left standing as
other stores around them burned to the ground. Had the Clinton gun
ban been in place, the stores belonging to those brave Koreans might
have burned along with all the others.

I am concerned that if you are supporting a draconian infringement
such as the Clinton-Feinstein gun ban, that you will support other
self-defense restrictions once you get into office.

I hope you will stand up for the 2nd Amendment. Please don't
support the unconstitutional gun bans that were signed into law by
the most anti-gun President in our history. If you support gun
control, you may endanger your support from gun owners. Thank you.

Sincerely,

**************
