FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
April 28, 1999
THE CLINTON GUN BAN IS
DELUSIONAL AND DEMAGOGIC
DES MOINES, IA -- It is profoundly regrettable that the President
has chosen to exploit the horrific premeditated massacre at
Littleton to, once again, scapegoat sportsmen, hunters, and law-
abiding Americans who use guns for pleasure or personal and
family safety. It calls to mind again Mr. Clinton's effort to divert
blame for the massacre in Oklahoma City to conservatives and Republicans
who were critical of big government.
Those brutal and nihilistic killers in Colorado violated 19 federal and
state gun and explosives laws. To suggest that the passage by Congress of
a 20th, 21st, or 22nd might have prevented this atrocity is delusional and
demagogic.
Equally regrettable is the refusal by this President to use his Bully
Pulpit to castigate his campaign contributors and political allies in
Hollywood and the entertainment industry who have grown rich polluting and
poisoning the popular culture from which we all, including the
impressionable and the young, must drink.
At a time when America desperately needs to hear an authentic
voice of moral authority from the White House, the office is
regrettably occupied by a draft dodger in the cultural war for the
soul of America.
