Right to Life? Hell No, NRA's Rights More Important

Do you believe in the right to life? --Do you have the right to live?

Are you sure?
Someone's daughter got up one morning, got dressed, went to school: got raped at gunpoint, then got shot dead. Will never come home. Bailey, Colorado

Daughters and sons sat together in a small schoolroom drawing pictures --for the last time: a man with a semi-automatic weapon, hundreds of bullets and a diseased mind entered the school. He filled Twelve small girls with bullets --five shot until they died, one child had 20 bullets in her 7-year old body. Shot dead, One begged...

Only happens to other people's children --poor, middle-class children? A child --on the playground --on the street --walking home from school --in a car on the highway, with parents --is shot dead --in every city in the US --every day.


Can government make you sick? It can kill you.
US government believes: it has the right to put lead into Great Lakes --poisoning drinking water, endangering wildlife, fish, eco-system, boaters. lead into Great Lakes

Members of Congress: get campaign donations from religious groups that believe in the right to life, hell: who doesn't believe in the right to live.


While you are busy working --shopping --focusing on yourself, your family, your friends: your representative in Congress has been busy --helping members of National Rifle Association keep their perceived right --to have semi-automatic weapons.

Members of Congress, like the Speaker for the majority Party Dennis Hastert, disgraced ex Rep. Tom Delay, other extremists, believe in: money. --They also get donations from: NRA --which believes their members have Right to use semi-automatic weapons . --Deer hunters --Real hunters: use semi-automatic--rapid-fire-- weapons to kill prey for dinner? Members of Congress are quietly busy helping them --keep their "right."

Did those children --thousands every year, die for a cause? Well...members of Congress like money, Now they have more of it --from both sides --to run more campaigns to stay in office....

While everyone is watching Republican Party disgrace themselves on other issues: they are trying to change gun laws --quietly....

England, Austraila: don't have 15,000 murders every year --people slaughtering children, wives, strangers. --They also don't have right-to-gun laws --or government 'over-running people' even though citizens aren't armed --the stupidest argument of all.

Nature demands justice...is it an "accident" Charlton Heston, ex president of NRA, is dying --a slow death?


Which side are you on?
You think --there is some Good Reason country is filled with semi-automatic weapons --children have a right to live --or Your representative should have more money or more ethics?

Here's An Idea

If you believe you, family, children have a right to live: supposing 'right to guns' people keep their guns, but ALL bullets: only available at police station
-ANY bullets, any amount: fill out a request form
-Two police officers have to examine and Approve
-Dispense the bullets
-Keep part of the profit --to hire more police
-Permanent record: who got which bullets
-Amnesty Period: turn in ALL bullets; bullets found/not registered: special jail time/added to a sentence

Local Police: can verify permit, legality, mental state. Anyone else who sells bullets: gets long prison term. Period. Could this be done in your community? Ask your mayor, your local representative. That phone call could start the process --and save a child you know, or your life.

Remedies
What do You care about? If you actually really Truly believe in the Right to life, your inaction --so far, says otherwise.
-LOOK: at the links in left margin this page, click on "Senate" --"House of Representatives"
-Enter your zip code --you'll get your rep's Home Page
-SEND a message: Demand end to semi-automatic weapons --easy access to guns
or: outlaw bullets except by local police.

-Believe it: only 100 sincere letters from voters will sway your representative
Can you ask 99 friends, neighbors, co-workers, PTA members, people waiting in line at Post Office -grocery store to write to representative?

You want life? DEMAND Congress get off their butts, Pay attention to YOU, to children

Can't be bothered to write, send e-mail? DON'T moan, cry --show up --at the next funeral. Hell, the next funeral: might be for you.

Pop Quiz: WMD --Fed Up?

Starting from the day after September 11, 2001 until now you have heard every "administration" person allowed to speak on camera and nearly every person in Congress say variations of:
'--everybody thought Saddam had weapons of mass destruction --so I voted... blah blah blah"
"--gathering --grey cloud over US" --'biological' --'chemical weapons, put on protective gear...blah blah blah.' Then the talker, ususally, cites the UN resolution --which 'allowed' US to invade Iraq. --You want to give, at least some, the benefit of doubt --maybe even Oval Office occupant, because they just "--got bad intelligence"? --But If you hear one more claim WMD justified invasion --you have an air-sick bag handy?


OK, mouse ready --Pop Quiz: Imagine that the Internet had to be stripped of all websites --they were all using too much bandwith, e.g., so only one could stay up:

Name the most important website to save
