March 7, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- BARR CALLS CLINTON GUN MEETING “HYPOCRITICAL” TELLS PRESIDENT TO STOP HOLDING LEGISLATION HOSTAGE WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In a letter to President Clinton, U.S. Representative Bob Barr (GA-7) called today’s White House gun conference “hypocritical” and urged the President to stop stalling youth violence legislation. The text of Barr’s letter follows: “Your meeting this morning to “encourage” Congress to pass youth violence legislation is one of the most hypocritical political displays I have ever witnessed. As you are fully aware, Congress passed legislation to fight youth violence months ago. Sadly, that legislation has been held hostage in Congress by allies following your orders to saddle the package with gun control or block its passage. “It is becoming increasingly obvious you have decided to stall youth violence legislation and allow more deaths to occur, because you believe it may help you achieve more gun control laws that won’t do a single thing to stop crime. It is difficult to imagine a more distressing act than sacrificing the lives of American children for political gain, and I implore you to reverse this course immediately. “I don’t think you, or any other intelligent person can honestly conclude that having a law mandating trigger locks would have prevented a felony fugitive living in a crack house from storing a firearm unsafely. However, some of the important provisions that have been held hostage on your orders -- such as prosecutorial reforms and new enforcement resources -- might well have addressed the tragedy in Michigan last week. “If you are truly concerned about saving young lives, please direct your allies in Congress to release the youth violence package they have been holding hostage in Conference Committee so we can vote on it and get it to you for signature. If you wish an up-or-down vote on gun control, fine; let’s tee it up, debate it fairly, and vote on it; but let’s not continue to hold school safety hostage to your political agenda.” **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
