-Caveat Lector- This is the national picture - not true for Connecticut and a few other states. http://www.cato.org/dispatch/03-27-01d.html#three A MILLION MOMS AND A FRACTURED MOVEMENT The Dallas Morning News reports today that less than a year since the Million Mom March, the national gun-control movement finds itself in some disarray and facing a harsher political landscape than anticipated. http://www.dallasnews.com/national/322293_guncontrol_27n.html Factions in the often-fractured movement are pressing competing ideological priorities. And a fight is brewing on Capitol Hill that may pit gun-control groups against each other rather than against the gun lobby. "Is this a time of soul searching?" asks Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the Violence Policy Center. "It will be a battle for the soul of the gun-control movement." In "Trust the People: The Case Against Gun Control," - http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa109.html - David Kopel writes that the gun control debate comes down to the basic question: "Who is more trustworthy, the government or the people?" In "Gun Policy in the Aftermath of Littleton," http://www.cato.org/dailys/05-26-99.html Cato Fellow Doug Bandow writes that gun control is misguided and that studies show that guns are used five times as often to prevent as to commit crimes. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
