Some of you all might know I have become a memeber of the First Monday group. Before you line up and bayonet me [;)], here me out.
I wanted to get info from them, and provide my AR/assualtweb brothers intel.
After doing this, I feel dirty, and need a shower.
Here is my first Intel.

Dear First Monday: Gun Industry Watch Participant:
In the wake of the September 11th attacks, gun sales have been increasing at
an alarming rate all over the United States. While the gun lobby promotes
the misperception that owning a gun assures self-protection, it is important
that we debunk the myth that a gun in the home makes that home safer. We
need to take this opportunity to spread the truth about the health risks of
having a gun in the home. Our message needs to reach the widest possible
audience, and we have found that letters to the editors of local campus and
city newspapers are very effective tools in raising public awareness. We
have prepared a letter that you can send to the editor of your school
newspaper, as well as editors of other newspapers in your community. All you
have to do is sign your name and send it in. (If you get it published,
please send us a copy of the newspaper. We are also including an informative
fact sheet about the risks of having a gun in the home.
Thanks so much for your involvement in First Monday's Gun Industry Watch.
If you are interested in doing more to educate your campus, hospital and
community about the risk of guns in the home, please contact Rebecca Bruno
at (202) 667-4260 x216 or
[email protected] or Alexis Wilson at (202) 667-4260
x238 or
[email protected] and we will send information about other actions
you can take.
Also, please remember to send back the red cards from your October 1 events
to Rebecca or Alexis. Our address is:
