The UN has gotten involved.  The "million" mom march came no where near one million.  I wonder how many misguided folks they'll get and call it a "billion"...

Edited to figure out how to link.  Yipee!!!

A quick quiz for Million Mom marchers to consider. OK now, no cheating!


1. Ted Kennedy, Charles Schumer and Barbara Boxer strongly denounce private gun ownership.
Their bodyguards, however, carry:

A) Berettas
B) Glocks
C) Garbage can lids
D) Slingshots



2. You and your baby daughter are awakened in the middle of the night by your estranged, abusive ex-husband.
Although you have a restraining order against him, he is drunk and beats down your front door with a crowbar
screaming, "If I can't have you, nobody can!" You should:

A) Call Barbara Boxer.
B) Call 911
C) Threaten legal action.
D) Grab a ping-pong paddle.
E) Reason with him (maybe he was an abused child).



3. Since 1987, 34 states have enacted concealed carry laws. Violent crime decreased significantly in these states and the anticipated "Dodge City" mayhem never materialized. Even critics were surprised. Concealed carry succeeded because:

A) Sunspot activity decreased after 1987.

C) Sarah Brady scared the crooks away.
D) A healing wave of pacifism swept over the hearts of criminals in these 34 states.
E) All of the above.



4. Schools, churches, subways, and restaurants have often been assaulted, but rarely military bases, police
stations, or shooting clubs because:

A The targets aren't sitting or kneeling.
B) VA benefits are lost if you shoot a soldier.
C) You can't enter an army base without bumper stickers.
D) Schools don't threaten felons with detention hall.
E) All of the above.



5. Logic, reason, and common sense:

A) Are irrelevant if they contradict your feelings.
B) Should not apply to firearms.
C) Defy opinion polls.
D) Pale beside hysteria, fear, and political ambition.
E) All of the above.

Geez, In order to get a billion moms, they'd have to get just about all of them.

You got 6 billion people.  Half are male.  That leaves 3 billion.

The population is weighted on the young side (in many developing nations, most are lucky if they live much into their childbearing years).

So say 60% children, 10 percent childless adults.  So 70% of those 3 billion are childless.  That leaves 30% of 3 billion.  --
1 billion, give or take.

D'oh!  My cousin's wife hunts deer and she's a mom!  That leaves too few.  [:)]

I saw this documentary about Woodstock the other night and they said there were 300,000 people attending. Comparing that to the crowd pics from the MMM last year there is no way in hell they had 750,000, more like 100,000 at most.

That website says they'll march on donkeys.Somebody should tell PETA cuz that can't possibly be PC. Maybe we can get those groups to fight each other and we can eat anybody that's left.

Calling all belt-fed owners... [heavy]
Who in their right mind thinks that they will even get more than a million world-wide?

Maybe when they get together to protest/rally, we should hit them with high intensity X-rays so they can't reproduce any further [:D]

Who needed more evident of the arrival of the BIG BROTHER (now sending BIG SISTERS ahead...) to steal out guns (it's worldwide, american brothers... not only an US issue!!!) now has the evidence.
For my side, I'll never support anymore any UN organization, and maybe if Bush will not give any funds to the UN (always in funds shortage!)will be something blessed!

FREEDOM!!!

Unbelievable.  Sounds like it's time for me and a few thousand rounds of ammo to disappear for a while and practise "rapid aimed fire" drills.

I still keep current on "fire and movement..."

Just wrote to them. No hope to receive any answer form such selfish people...

"Dear Ladies,
I dont' hope to have any answer from you, like I didn't get any from:

-IANSA
-HCI
-Killguns.org
-CPHV

and other organization for gun control.

I would like to understand (believe me, from your site it's impossible to understand what really is your goal) what you want to achieve:

1)No more private gun ownership
2)No more govt. ownership (disarmament of armies and police)
3)No more wars
4)Other

I think I can support you only on the point nr. 3.

I invite you to consider some points:

-Did you ever think that the American Revulotion would never start without private ownership and USA would still be a UK colony?
-Did you ever think that Resistance against Nazist in Europe or the Warsaw Uprising would never take place without firearms?
-Did you ever think that a woman weighing 60 kg. sexually assaulted by a men weighing 120 kg. can better defend herself using a firearms?
-Did you ever think that are education to violence and lackness of knowledge that kills and not guns?
-Did you ever think that is stupid to sue companies that produce objects (cars, guns, airplanes, playstations, computers, books, etc. etc.) and not the responsible ones for the misuse of this objects?
-Did you ever think that YOU are limiting MY freedom of practicing MY favourite hobby?
-Did you ever think that about all the consequences in leaving firearms only in the hands of the world government?

Really, I am open to hear from you any personal opinion addressed to me, manifesto or propaganda are not welcomed.

Regards

Paolo Ortenzi"
