i saw this letter on another board, and i thaught i would share it with you.

Dear Gun Control Lady,

The other day, I was in bad need of a fix. I needed some crack money
somethin' terrible. So I went down the street to the grocery store, parked
in a shady part of the lot and started looking for an easy mark. It ain't
easy to find someone you know won't fight back and hurt you. More and more
folks are beginning to carry guns and sometimes you just can't tell who has
'em and who don't. But, I got lucky. After about an hour of watching
folks, you pulled into the lot. When you pulled your car into the parking
space, that Million Mom March bumper sticker practically jumped out at
me. I watched you as you unbuckled your kids, locked up your car and
walked into the store. Man, I really liked the sight of that bumper
sticker. It was like getting a Christmas present when it ain't even
Christmas.

Now, you may think that us crooks are stupid, but I can tell you we
ain't. We know what that Million Mom stuff means. It means you don't like
guns. You think no one should have 'em. And you don't own one. So when I
saw that bumper sticker, I was so excited -- I thought, "this is gonna be a
good day."

Million Moms is easy scores, you know. I don't pay much attention to news
and stuff like that, but I learned about you ladies from a buddy of mine
who likes house jobs. He keeps up with all those groups who hate guns. He
says they're the best targets.
When he hears about one of their meetings, sometimes he goes and hangs
around outside til its over. Then he follows one of 'em home to see where
they live. He mostly does his jobs when nobody's home, but says he doesn't
have to worry as much about unexpected surprises when he picks one of those
anti-gun places.

Anyway, I knew you was gonna be an easy score. I started making my plan on
how to rob you. I figured I would surprise you while you were strapping
those kids back in their seats. I'd just walk up behind you, maybe shove
you a little, steal your purse and take off. I kinda hoped I didn't have
to hurt you. You looked pretty from where I was. I hoped it'd all happen
so fast, you'd be too scared to try to stop me. I wished I could figure
out how to do it without gettin' those kids stirred up. I knew they'd
start cryin' and stuff and might get somebody's attention. I knew that
even if I didn't have to smack 'em or anything that they'd have nightmares
and stuff and be pretty messed up
-- you know, seein' their Mommy get knocked around and all, then the cops
and everything. I don't really like to hurt folks, especially kids, but
sometimes I have to. It's the nature of the business, you know.

I had it all worked out. But then everything got messed up. This other
car pulled into the space next to yours. I watched a man get out of the
driver's side and head into the store. The woman who was with him stayed
in the car. I started to think that maybe I'd just go rob her instead.
But then I noticed a GOA sticker in her back window.  (cont)

Being one of them
million mom people, I'm sure you know what GOA is -- Gun Owners of
America. That means they own guns. I sure hate to see those
stickers. The NRA sticker is a bad sign, too. I thought for a minute that
maybe the man was the GOA guy, but you never know. Seems like more and
more women is gettin' involved in that stuff.
And I didn't know if he carried his gun with him inside or if it was in the
car or if maybe both of them had guns. I couldn't take the chance. I sure
didn't wanna get shot or anything. I just wanted a little money for some
crack. Besides, even if I didn't get shot, they might use a gun to keep me
there til the cops came. I didn't want that neither.

Anyway, I thought about it for a while and decided that my first plan was
best. I just hoped those gun folks left before you came back out. I
figured since the woman stayed in the car and the man went in, he only
needed a coupla things and they'd leave soon. I hoped you were buying a
lot of stuff and they'd be gone before you came out.

Well, it didn't work out that way. You and your kids came out of the
store. I couldn't do nothin' but sit and watch while you buckled up those
kids.
I had to just sit there while you put the groceries in the trunk and pushed
the cart away. I knew that lady in the next car might have a gun. I
figured if she did and I bothered you, she'd pull it. I was so
angry. There I was sittin' there watchin' my fix get in a car and drive away.

I saw the way you looked at that other lady when she smiled at you. Your
pretty face looked downright ugly, the way you sneered at her. I figure
you saw her GOA sticker, too. Guess that got your dander up -- her bein' a
gun owner and all -- and you hatin' 'em so much. To tell ya the truth, I
wasn't real happy with that lady either. If she hadn't been sittin' there,
I woulda had my money. But I couldn't take the chance that she'd shoot at
me or anything. She sure messed up my plan.

Oh well, there's always another day. I sure hope you shop at that store a
lot. And I sure am glad you have that Million Mom sticker on your bumper
-- it'll make ya real easy to spot. Sure was great of my buddy to teach me
about those things. Makes my job a whole lot easier.

Hope to see ya soon.

Your grateful friend, Joe Crook

The letter you just read is, of course,
entirely fictional, with one small exception. I'm referring to the part
about the sneer the "GOA" woman received from the Million Mom March
supporter. The sneer was directed toward me, although I certainly did
nothing to generate such disdain.

My fictional letter was meant for that woman (and others like her). I
realize it would be too much to ask that she consider the likelihood that
the presence of any legally armed person might be of benefit to her. But
maybe, just maybe, she'll see how foolish it is to advertise to the world
that she is unarmed. For her sake, I sure hope so.

I like it.  I stole it.  I know just who's windshield to leave it on.

Thanks,

THAT'S a keeper.

I loved it.....I talked to some inmates one day. I asked them what they were afraid of? they said people with guns, you just never know what they will do

I don't know.  This could make an interesting letter to the editor.

I plan on making up a few for windshield "flyers."

I stole it as well!!  Going to post in on some Canadian Political forums!!!

A crackhead that knows what "GOA" is?
No way.
NRA, maybe...

I don't shop at the mall for that very reason.

Man, these Million Mom Morons are so hypocritical, I wouldn't be suprised if some of them where packing.  I heard somewhere that rFat odonnel (I refuse to type out her filthy name) has armed security for her children.  Just like filthstein and the other gun-grabbers, these so called anti-gunners know full well the value of being armed.  However, they seem to be caught up in some self-ritious crusade to advocate their twisted views. Views they themselves do not adhere to.

These people, the negoiators/compromisers have lost stature with the GWB Jr's successful Afghanistan campaign. Notice you don't see anti-war protestors anymore on the nightly news.

Send it to mmm.org, or whatever their URL is, and let them know that they're targeting the wrong people, and that their sneer's represent their true bitter nature.

Of course, Million Mommers can own guns if they are intent on killing an innocent man whom they thought was the perpetrator of a crime against one of their children.  As long as you aren't a stand-up guy or woman interested in protection before the fact you can't own guns, but if somebody pissed you off (and you are a member of the MMM) you can blow them away with an illegal pistol.

Perfect.
I've posted the [i]schedule[/i] for the Washington Arms Collectors shows on the General Bulletin Board at the base.
Well over a dozen times it has been torn down, against policy.  Anything posted has to be OK'd by a base chief or supervisor and date stamped for 30 days.  When it wasn't torn down, I'd get a new one posted.
The person doing it was caught and reprimanded, but, their identity was kept confidential.
It has been happening again of late.  I posted a half-dozen this time, thinking maybe someone just wanted to get the schedule and keep it.  Only one remains.
Now, I'll copy this story and leave it on the table in the bullpen to be found, or perhaps see if it is appropriate for posting.
Thanks for getting the story out, it's a good one for making the point.

Stolen, stashed and given...  thanks  [:)]
