(Congress says some bullets may
be banned
To the Kditor
Watch out for Senator Bob Dole If
you see him coming, hoard up your
windows and lock your doors He's
coming after your money, your guns
and now even your bullets
Krankly. I have had it with Sen
Dole
After nearly two years of opposing
the anti gun lobby's several bullet
ban hills including Ihe Hiaggi Hill
and recently, the so-called to p
killer" bullet ban. we were funaliy
on the verge of total victory
And then Hob Dole shows up to sell
us out, again
Our stratagy had worked per
fectly With the support of cour
ageous Senators like Steve Synns
and John Heinr. wr had begun to
Introduce a number of amendments
designed to gut the trull to the extent
that no one w ould vote for it
Momentum had finally turned
against the bill, even though it was
introduced with 66co sponsores'
Our national media campaign had
publicized the facts that the so
called "Cop killer" hill was a lolal
sham. that no policeman had ever
hern killed by a cop killer bullet
penetrating his soft body armor,
and that more than 75 percent of the
So.uoo policemen responding to our
survey said they would feel no safer
if the bullet ban were passed
We developed a "show and tell"
demonstration where we fired a
variety of sporting rounds, both full
melal jacketed and soft nosed along
with the Cop killer" bullet into steel
plate The only bullet that c«»uld not
penetrate the armor you gu«'sxed
it. Ihe Cop killer bullet
In short, we proved to everyone
who would listen to us that this bullet
ban was nothing more than the latest
tactic of the anti gun lobby, looking
for a new loophole to rob us of our
gun
Knter Bob I Kile You remember
Senator Dole lie's the fellow who.
with the h«'lp of his pals in the
Treasury Department. tried to lax
and register your guns not too long
ago Thanks Hob
Just recently, his staff was quietly
circulating a bill that would have
given the Secretary of the Treasury
the discretionary authority to etas
sify any semi automatic pistol or
rifle as a machine gun Such a hill
would have the effect of outlawing
firearms in this country
Thanks
Hob
And tonight, as I write this letter
to you. Senator Dole. Kepuhlican
Majority leader of the U S Senate,
is going against his colleagiM*» in the
Senate, against his party's platform
and even against President Keagan
by forcing this bill to a vole
Now the ( ongrevs has said that
some bullets can be banned I II give
you a full report on this next month
In the not too distant future. Hob
Dole plans on becoming a candidate
for this nation's highest office At
that time, he will come looking to
gun owners for support pointing to
some unimportant gun hull that he
supported
No thanks. Hob
I can promise you that I will not
forget Hob Dole » contempt for gun
owners and (he gun rights of all
Americaas And I would be so
pleased if you would join me in
ietting him know that you won't
forget either
The gun grabbers are just waiting
for us to run out of steam so (hey can
jump in and reverse all the gums we
have been making
Gun Owner» is doing more now
than ever before in our history
Unfortuanltly, it is also costing us
more than ever before and lhat is
why I must turn to loyal supporters
like you
I need your support to keep the
pressure on the OMB to deny the
HATK their renewal on 4473. to keep
momentum on the McClure Bill lor
getting it to Ihe floor lor a vote, and
to try to limit the impact of Senator
IXrle's bullet ban
