Uncle J, I must take exception to your ravings. The fact is, and I can prove it, LaPierre is a LIAR! I wrote and nailed him to the wall on his bullshit, and I received no answer. Like you, I used to belong to the NRA but, when I found out what a bunch of siege mentality apes they were, I quit. Now, Ruby ridge. Waco, all that could have been avoided if the creeps had simply obeyed the law! What the hell was the authorities to do? let him get away with selling an illegal weapon? or just forget that he failed to appear in court? If he had just obeyed the friggin' law, there would never have been any shooting. I must say, that trigger happy bastard who shot the dog really pissed me off.

The Elian Gonzales case...that officer did not point that rifle at the kid. He pointed it at the man who was trying to hide him from the law. There again, if they had simply obeyed the law, there would have been no trouble. Of course it's always easier to lay the blame than to work on a solution to a problem.

Who the hell were they (the Cuban refugees) to decide where the boy should live? So, they hate Castro, why? because he couldn't tolerate those who exploited his people. That's what a revolution is all about, getting rid of the people who maintain a system which keeps the poor in virtual slavery. There is no doubt in any thinking mind that Cuba is far better off today than it was under Baptista. It is unlikely that Elian will be gunned down on a Miami street by some drugged out animal.

Now, be clear on this, I am NOT attacking you, I am disagreeing with your statements. Big Difference. BTW what happened to MAV?

Waco, I believe the tear gas bombs were what set off the fire, not the wackos inside.
