WE hold these truths to be self-evident:

Most people who own a gun would not blow up a building. But most people who would blow up a building own a gun. ।

The reason these people would blow up buildings is that i hey are afraid someone is going to take their guns away from them

If they could call attention to their fears in some other way. they would do so. But apparently nobody will listen to them unless they blow up a building. So now everyone knows how these people feel about being disarmed

These unhappy "soldiers of fortune" have many friends tn Congress who have vowed to see that assault weapons will be available to every American to protect himself against those who would try and confiscate his weapons — thus leaving him naked when he makes his last stand against those who would put all the patriots" into concentration camps.

While the National Rifle Association (NRA) does not support people who blow up buildings, they have to defend those who want to purchase any firearm on the open market.

Their gospel remains : Guns don't kill people, people kill people

Actually, that's not completely correct. Guns don’t kill people, bombs kill people. Wait, there's more: Guns don't kill people bombs kill people, but they're owned by people who need weapons to keep them free.

The NRA still claims that just because crazies blow up buildings is no reason to penalize law-abiding citizens who want to buy AK-47s for squirrel shooting.

If your congressman doesn t buy this, the NRA will not give him any money for his reelection and the organization will ensure that he loses his seat. This Is to teach other anti-gun legislators a lesson.

People who blow up buildings do not believe that the NRA is doing enough to let Americans hold on to their weapons. They prefer to send a message to Washington in a large truck filled with fertilizer and fuel oil.

If the country can’t guarantee a well-armed militia to defend itself against the infidels from abroad and from within, then by golly they'll do something about it themselves.

This is not only a question of defending the country. It's a love affair. People who have assault weapons are obsessed in their cars, they sleep with them under thefr pillows, and they kiss them in drive-in movies.

What to do to placate these people? The answer Is not to confiscate these weapons, or refuse to sell them in the first place (the NRA would never stand for It), but to ban the sale • of fertilizer. That will be our final compromise with bombers.

Let them own all the guns they want to. but they mustn't blow up buildings.

As Gordon Llddy would probably say, "Ask not for whom the bombs explode — they explode for thee,"
