Along with this, >BATF can search your home unannounced three times during each year. This >bill also outlaws most production handguns and many other weapons and allows >you to buy only one handgun per month. It removes the sunset on the 7-day >waiting period and makes it happen even with insta-check. > >What they are after is to take all your gun rights away and make it so hard >to >get them, and drive people out of business who sell firearms or manufacture >them. They think they can convince you that this is the answer to crime. > Then >once you are dependent on the government and police for all your protection, >who will protect you from them? > >One of my young Deputies came up to me after seeing this report and asked >me what they were trying to do to him and all police officers. He then went >on >to point out how now the bad guy may have a cheap handgun that may or may >not work when he attacks a police officer. This bill will only make quality >weapons available for the bad guy and get more police officers killed. > >The bottom line is, they want to take all firearms away from the law-abiding >citizen and this will only make you defenseless. Then the bad guys and the >government will rule the day and our way of life so that we have no freedom >left. America will come to an end as we know it. > >Again I say: Don't just sit back and hope someone does something. Let your >elected representatives know how you feel and then vote for those who will >protect your rights. Join and support the NRA before it is too late. > >A study done by John Lott and David Mustard, "Crime, Deterrence, and Right- >to-Carry Concealed Handguns," in the Journal of Legal Studies, January 1997 >issue, shows that if all States in America had adopted the right to carry >laws, approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, and over 60,000 aggravated >assaults would have been avoided yearly. Can you imagine what the crime >rate would look like under the new Brady Bill? We in law enforcement need >your help to make sure we remain a free and safe people.

We will not have the same freedoms for our children and >grandchildren, if we don't. > >A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to talk with a Major in the >Russian >Police Force from Moscow. He was here doing a study on American Law >Enforcement. First he asked me how many homicides we dealt with each day. >His impression from our media was that we had one about every hour. I told >him we normally have one to six a year in Coos County and he was shocked. >Our media does a fine job telling us we are a violent country. > >This Major told me that his job was to head up the division of their national >police that deals with gun smuggling and narcotics. He then indicated that >in Russia >the only people allowed to have firearms are police and military. They have >a big problem with gun smuggling and all the criminals have firearms. He >said they are >not afraid to attack citizens because they know they are not armed. By the >same token, they often shoot it out with the police. He told me that in the >past year >they had almost 400 officers killed in Russia. In America we had only 62 >officers killed the same year. > >This tells me something. First, America is not a violent country, and >second, outlawing firearms from our citizens will only make one more big >problem for >us. It points out that an armed society is indeed a polite society. At the >very >lest, a safer society. So stop and think about what I have said. This could >be America. > >Sheriff Michael E.
