It would be good if USSC went on record demanding that the any gun charges not be dropped, and that the gun enhancement be imposed. Probably an email from Woody to the reporter (his address is at the bottom of the story) would get some publicity. Notes to the prosecutor and judge (if not ethical for lawyers to do so, get a USSC nonlawyer board member to make the contact). We can then use our position on this along with the details of the case as something to pass out to every legislator as reasons NOT to pass any new gun laws. Deseret News 8 Sep 00 http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,195012539,00.html?textfield=gun Man may accept plea in shooting By Jim Rayburn Deseret News staff writer PROVO A man accused of shooting at his girlfriend last month as she fled in her car is considering accepting a plea deal offered by Utah County prosecutors. Police say Robert W. Snow, 39, fired at least eight shots at his girl- friend Aug. 10 as she was fleeing a domestic dispute between the two. Investigators say that during an early morning argument, the woman ran from her south Provo apartment and sped away in her car. Snow allegedly chased her in his car and fired a handgun at her as he chased her through south Provo. Five shots struck the woman's car, but none hit her. Police said that at one point during the 10-minute chase Snow's car actually collided with his girlfriend's car. Snow is charged with attempted murder, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a dangerous weapon, second-degree felonies; aggravated assault, a third-degree felony; and misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated and driving on a denied license. Snow, who has 17 prior arrests, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday. However, he waived his right to a preliminary hearing and will enter a plea on the case next week. Prosecutors have offered to dismiss some of the charges if Snow pleads guilty to the others. If Snow does not accept the deal, the case will be set for trial. The second-degree felony charges carry a possible sentence of one to 15 years in prison. Snow remains incarcerated at the Utah County Jail.

Hardy Utah Email Coordinator--Women Against Gun Control -----Forwarded From GOA------ Dear Gun Rights Supporter, Last year we all watched in horror at the tragedy at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Nearly as horrific was the feeding frenzy of the anti-gun media and the drum beating of the gun control advocates who used this incident as an excuse to call for draconian new limits on our freedom. In Colorado, almost all of those gun control proposals were defeated by GOA and our local partners in freedom, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO). But our friends in Colorado are now in a fight for their lives: they must defeat a statewide initiative, sponsored by the father of one of the Columbine victims, to close the so-called "Gun Show Loophole." Earlier I alerted you to a ballot initiative in Oregon. Frankly, the battle in Colorado may be even more important to you and me. That's why I ask you right now -- today -- to send a contribution to RMGO either by mail to PO Box 3114, Denver Colorado, 80201 or at http://www.rmgo.org/donate.html on the web. Why is this important to you? First, RMGO is a true grassroots organization that has fought all the right battles and done remarkably well. But their funding, from activists in Colorado, isn't sufficient to overcome the incredible tide of out-of-state cash being raised by their opponent, SAFE (we believe SAFE is more accurately called "UnSAFE" since they advocate the disarming of citizens). SAFE is raising money from huge foundations, liberal trusts, and outside groups to fund their power grab -- a funding source our Colorado allies do not have. The entire nation is watching Colorado. It has been considered a "pro-gun state" until now, and the media is building up this initiative battle as the granddaddy of political wars. RMGO's Executive Director Dudley Brown has been a guest on countless national news programs during the last year, defending our rights in the face of blistering attacks from the left-wing media. Brown always concludes that the Columbine shooting might have been stopped had a teacher been carrying a concealed weapon. Because of this national spotlight, Colorado is now the battleground for our rights. And if we -- you, me, and every citizen who is concerned with freedom -- won't help RMGO fight off this attack on our gun rights, who will? Below is a note from RMGO's Dudley Brown to tell you how you can get involved. Please help out now. Sincerely, Larry Pratt P.S. RMGO deserves your most generous support. Please send a contribution to RMGO at PO Box 3114, Denver Colorado, 80201 or give online at http://www.rmgo.org/donate.html on the web. ************************************************* Rocky Mountain Gun Owners PO Box 3114 Denver, Colorado 80201 970-842-3006 Dear Friend, My fight is yours, and yours is mine: wherever the attacks are launched on our freedoms, I am willing to fight. It took only a few hours for the national media to start talking about gun control the day two murderous thugs entered Columbine High. Rather than cower and apologize for our freedoms, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners answered the call to defend our Constitutional rights. While we didn't win every battle in the state legislature, we did make our enemies pay for every inch. And one issue they couldn't pass was to force private sales at gun shows through their Brady Registration check. SAFE -- Colorado's top front group for disarming law-abiding gun owners -- immediately turned to a ballot initiative, knowing they would have willing accomplices in the media and a torrent of cash from every left-wing "public interest" group. This week, RMGO is kicking off its fund raising efforts to fight this initiative. We make this plea to gun rights supporters across our great country: stand up with us, and oppose this scheme. Now, the radicals at SAFE raise their money from just a few contributors in $1000 chunks: we, on the other hand, have to raise our money by thousands of donors in small amounts. Your donation of $100, $75, $50 or even $25 will show our opponents that America isn't going to let them get away with buying out our civil rights. You can make a donation online at http://www.rmgo.org/donate.html or by mail at PO Box 3114, Denver Colorado, 80201. There is no time to waste -- we must gather the resources necessary to fight this gun control proposal as soon as possible. All eyes are watching to see what Colorado does. We ask for your assistance, and your prayers. Standing firmly for freedom, Dudley Brown Executive Director P.S. Colorado has become the battleground for our gun rights, and we need help. The gun-grabbers are raising money hand-over-fist from liberal out-of-state organizations, and I am certain we cannot compete without your assistance. Please donate whatever you can afford -- $25, $50, $75, $100 (there are no limits) -- to RMGO as soon as possible to help us fend off this attack on our freedoms. ************************************************* Name____________________________________ Address___________________________________ City_____________________________ Zip________________________ Contribution $25_____ $50_______ $100_____ $250______ $500_____ $1000_____ Other______ Rocky Mountain Gun Owners PO Box 3114 Denver, CO 80201 Please Make Checks Payable to "RMGO" ************** Do not reply directly to this message.

The link to Clayton Cramer's study contained in the article is also well worth checking out. Cramer's "rebuttal" is very long, but a quick skim will provide some nice info. ================================================================== Charles C. Hardy Utah Email Coordinator--Women Against Gun Control --------- Forwarded message ---------- FROM MOUNTAIN MEDIA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATED SEPT. 17, 2000 THE LIBERTARIAN, By Vin Suprynowicz Will rewrite nation's history to suit new tenant Some publicity has been generated by the prominent play given leftist college professor Garry Wills' review of the new book "Arming America: The origins of a National Gun Culture," by The New York Times. I have not yet received a review copy of "Arming America," by Michael A. Bellesiles, though the folks at Alfred A. Knopf have promised me one. Both Mr. Bellesiles and Mr. Wills embrace the theory that the old notion of America being "an armed nation" from 1750 to 1850 -- that America was conquered and defended by a rural, civilian populace mostly armed -- is a myth. They go further, asserting that this myth has been invented on purpose by a modern right-wing conspiracy which they call "the gun cult." I think it would thus be fair to characterize "Arming America" as an "anti-gun book." Mr. Bellesiles, a colonial historian at Emory University, examined more than 1,000 probate records from New England and Pennsylvania for the years 1763 and 1790, discovered only 14 percent of these estates conveyed firearms to the decedents' heirs, and that "over half of them were unusable." From that, both Mr. Bellesiles and his happy reviewer, Mr. Wills of Northwestern University, conclude that only 14 percent of Americans in the period 1763 to the Civil War owned firearms. What Mr. Bellesiles has proved, Mr. Wills instructs us, is that, "Before the Civil War ... the average American had little reason to go to the expense and trouble of acquiring, mastering and maintaining a tool of such doubtful utility as a gun." Clayton Cramer, who earned his master's degree in history at Sonoma State University in 1998, has been on the trail of Mr. Bellesiles' thesis for some time. He explodes it completely in his recent essay "Gun Scarcity in Antebellum America" (www.ggnra.org/cramer/GunScarcity.pdf). Rather than extrapolating from probate records, Cramer goes to original, contemporary sources. He finds Philip Gosse, an English naturalist visiting Alabama in the 1830s, writing: "The long rifle is familiar to every hand: skill in the use of it is the highest accomplishment which a southern gentleman glories in; even the children acquire an astonishing expertness in handling this deadly weapon at a very early age." Gosse goes on to note that marksmanship skills were so "universally high" that young men had to resort to "curious tests" to prove their skill, such as driving a stout nail halfway into a post, whereupon the young men "stand at an immense distance and fire at the nail: the object is to hit the nail so truly on the head with the ball as to drive it home." Yep. I guess those southern boys had pretty much never seen a rifle before. Touring the young nation in 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville reported that in Tennessee, "There is not a farmer but passes some of his time hunting and owns a good gun." In 1839, Englishman Charles Augustus Murray wrote for his British readership of visiting a farmhouse in rural Virginia: "Nearly every man has a rifle, and spends part of his time in the chase." Nor was this merely a rural phenomenon. In Charles H. Haswell's "Reminiscences of New York by an Octogenarian" (1896), he recalls that in February of 1836 a mob gathered to burn "Saint Patrick's Church in Mott Street." The effort came to naught, however, because, "The Catholics ... not only filled the church with armed men," but put so many armed men on the walls that Haswell describes the roof-line as appearing "crenellated" with them. Does Mr. Wills embrace Mr. Bellesiles' evident nonsense because it confirms preconceived notions he wants desperately to believe? If so, was he a miserable choice to provide Times' readers with a reasonably skeptical analysis of the flaws in Mr. Bellesiles' methodology? Were Joe Stalin's men ever any better at revising truth and history -- cutting unwanted middlemen out of the old photos and sliding Comrade Joe over till he appears to be whispering in Lenin's attentive ear? As to the flaws in Mr. Bellesiles' method, they should be fairly obvious. My own grandfather died only a decade ago, after a long infirmity. He left no written will that my mother can recall, and conveyed no firearms through probate. Mr. Bellesiles would thus conclude Clarence Edward Higginbotham never owned any guns, and had no skill in their use. In fact, my grandfather was an accomplished and dedicated deer hunter, with a large gun closet. He taught me to shoot the rifle. As he grew older, he entrusted these weapons, one at a time, to friends and relations. If he, a 20th century resident of Ohio, saw no need for a will to convey these familiar but valued assets, how much less occasion did the average frontier American of the late 1700s have to bring lawyers and courts into the transfer of household goods to the next generation? Finally, for the sake of argument, let us ask: If it could be demonstrated that only 14 percent of antebellum Americans had been churchgoers, could we therefore safely conclude the notion of Americans having long been a "God-fearing people" has been newly cooked up by some weird right-wing cult? And would it therefore become more acceptable to infringe the First Amendment freedom of religion -- the Second Amendment being the real target of the bizarre revisionism we have been examining here today? Americans without guns! These guys (start ital)must(end ital) be college professors.

Date: 20 Sep 2000 14:39:59 -0600 The following is from today's public opinion page of the Deseret News. If the allegations are true, Rocky and SLC need to be put back in line. Asside from the obvious back door gun control posed by the S&W "agreement" is the question of misusing very scarce tax dollars by not doing truely competitive bidding. Maybe its time to pursue something in the legislature. Charles Rocky partner in gun sell-out Over the past several weeks, we have been told how hizzoner, Mayor Anderson, looked far and wide before he found a suitable candidate to appoint as Salt Lake City police chief. It isn't easy to find a qualified police officer who will commit to subordinate himself without question or comment to what would appear to be the "mood swings" of the mayor. Or, more correctly, to the mayor's only mood when dealing with subordinates: Bow down, be quiet or be blown away. What has some of us wondering is whether the new chief will vigorously implement the mayor's agreement with Washington, D.C., pal Secretary of HUD Andrew Cuomo, who is leading the fight for Clinton-Gore in their private war on our Second Amendment rights. Anderson, without his usual fanfare, has become a partner in Cuomo's "Smith & Wesson" sell-out of last spring by pledging to Secretary Cuomo that Salt Lake City will give preference to Smith & Wesson in securing weapons for the police force. Whatever happened to competitive bidding? Or did its definition become a casualty along with the definition of "is"? Howard A.
