From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the last digest issue, #23, US Stats on shooting stats were quoted, One of the quotes was from Donna Shalala. Be aware of some factors in these stats. Most of the so called children killed are gang members in slum areas, age 15 and up. They may be black, Mexican, or oriental, sometimes white. These figures mostly reflect black gang members killing rival black gang members. If they did not have an illegal gun, they would be doing the same killing with a knife, chain, or club. Gun deaths outside that section of the population are a very small part of crime stats. Donna Shalala is a super active anti gun person who will warp the stats to suit herself and the anti gun Clinton Administration. I believe it was Mark Twain who said there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. To that we might add "facts from the Clinton Administration." As the old saw goes, you can tell when he is lying, because his lips are moving. I may be gone a while folks. It's just about time to start scouting the elk herds for the up coming season. We have about 20,000 square miles of open public land in the areas right around me so it will take a while. If you can, come out and shoot some. Buy a hunting license, and you can stock up on firearms to your hearts content. Black powder starts in August, Regular Rifle in October through December. Up in this NW corner of Colorado we have deer, elk, antelope, mountain lion, Rocky Mountain Big Horns, and Moose. All good to eat, but mountain lion tastes best. Good shooting.
