At JPFO we have always stressed the dangers, not just of "gun
control" laws, but of the whole citizen disarmament ideology.
Ideas have consequences ... especially bad ideas.
A few days ago, a 13 year old student doodled a "laser gun"
at his school in a suburb of Phoenix. School officials learned of
the doodle and suspended the boy for 5 days, later reduced to 3
days. ( http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/95563
)
Why did this boy's doodle deserve any scrutiny at all, let alone
a suspension penalty? The answer is: an idea. The idea that the
very thought of weapons, whether real or imaginary, must be detected
and punished.
This travesty is just the latest in a long history of "zero
tolerance" policies that punish thinking and writing about
self-defense tools.
To learn more about how "zero tolerance" is part of a
greater program of Orwellian Newspeak about firearms that underlies
the "gun control" agenda, pick up a copy of the award-winning
book, _Death by "Gun Control"_ ( www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/deathgc.htm
), and read the initial few chapters.
And don't forget to have your kids read our Gran'pa Jack booklet
_"Gun Control" Kills Kids_ , available at http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/gj.htm
As America continues through this 2008 election cycle, pro-self-defense
citizens must be ready to deal with the likely upsurge of "gun
control" rhetoric. _Death by "Gun Control"_
provides the documentation citizens need to stand their ground and
help fellow gun owners and other voters understand the issues.
We promise the book is "safe" for use in schools -- there
are no drawings of guns in the book!
