Anti-gun Nuts Lie to Exploit German Massacre
The anti-gun-rights activists are eager to exploit the school shootings Friday in Erfurt, Germany - and don't care how many lies they tell.
Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has denounced this latest "chilling demonstration of the carnage caused by the flood of illegal weapons," United Press International reported today.
"While we do not yet know how the gunman obtained his weapon," the group's Executive Director Joshua Horwitz said Friday, "the gun lobby likely will use today's shooting to say that gun laws do not work - that Germany's strict gun laws failed to prevent this massacre. But the real issue here is the illegal gun market, fueled by the smuggling of weapons from countries with weak gun laws - such as Eastern European and Balkan nations as reported in press accounts today - into countries with tough laws like Germany."
How curious that Horwitz was so impatient to use the massacre to advance his own anti-self-defense agenda, without checking the facts.
As Reuters and other left-leaning news organizations reported two days ago, the Erfurt killer had licenses for his weapons. http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2002/4/29/193146
"If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege." - Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878

We only have a few special years with our children in which they desire our time, attention, and love. After that time is over, it is gone forever, and we will be the ones that desire their time, attention, and love. Make those few, short years count -
