Minuteman Monthly Newsletter Issue 40 November 2004 Welcome to Issue 40 of the Minuteman Monthly Newsletter. I promised that this month's issue would be a bit shorter and quicker to the point than last month's, so let's get to it. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WWW.SAVETHEGUNS.COM QUOTES OF THE MONTH "Let's do some straight shooting on the gun issue. John Kerry's opponents are worried because he's the first Democratic candidate to support Second Amendment gun rights and to be an avid hunter." Kerry-Edwards '04 Communication Director Amy Goodwin "I'm an internationalist. "I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations." John Kerry 2/18/1970 In the Senate four years - and that is the full extent of public life - no international experience, no military experience, you can imagine what the advertising is going to be next year. When I came back from Vietnam in 1969, I don't know if John Edwards was out of diapers then. Well, I'm sure he was out of diapers. John Kerry 1/19/2004 (Comments on his now running mate John Edwards.) "Our democracy is a farce; it is not the best in the world." John Kerry (Bethany College, 1971) "Let me be clear. I support the Second Amendment. I am a gun owner. I am a hunter." John Kerry (Washington Times 9/15/2004) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let ME be clear Senator Kerry. You were my United States Senator in the state of Massachusetts from 1984 to 2003. In those nineteen (19) years, I contacted your office more than forty (40) times. You have voted for gun control measures fifty one (51) times in your Senate tenure. How can you say that you support the Second Amendment, when you've done nothing but desecrate it, diminish it and misinterpret it??? My name is Marc Richardson and I approved this message. :-) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WWW.SAVETHEGUNS.COM GUN SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH This month's tip of the month is one that I don't think I have given out before in forty issues of the Minuteman Monthly. A nightmare for lawful gun owners everywhere would be to come home after a night or weekend away and find that your home has been broken into. Someone wishing to do you harm has been inside your home, looking through your personal stuff. They have been in your kitchen, your kid's bedroom and your bedroom. They have been through all your belongings and you wonder to yourself how long they had been inside your house. Then your whole body goes cold and you get a hollow and sick feeling in your gut as you find that your valued and highly prized firearms are gone. They even took your ammunition boxes. Now you have to make a report to your local police station. They ask about the guns. You give them all the information you have, but it's not really what they were looking for. You don't have enough real documentation on your firearms and you wish you had taken the time to write stuff down. Well, in case this happens to you someday, why not take the time to properly document your guns today. Get a piece of paper, make it into a chart of some kind and write down the: Manufacturer Model Number Action Type Caliber or Gauge Serial Number Any Identifying Marks And get a few good photographs of each of them. It will only take a few minutes and someday, you might be very happy that you did. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY THIS YEAR.

Kerry in his bid for the most powerful job on the planet Earth. As I'm sure you are aware, Senator Kerry donned a camouflage hunting outfit and shot a goose the other day to try and deceive you, the lawful and honest gun owner. It was very fitting that he be in camouflage, because that was exactly what he was doing. He was trying to hide and disguise the fact that he has voted for gun control measures in the United States Senate fifty one (51) times. As I have said before, John Kerry was my U.S. Senator for nineteen (19) years. I received back countless letters of communication from his office clearly showing his vehement support for gun control. I stare at the television screen incredulously at a John Kerry with a hunting outfit on and claiming to support the Second Amendment and I absolutely cringe, thinking a number of gun owners are going to believe him. On CNN Late Edition 11/7/1993, John Kerry said "I think you ought to tax all ammunition, personally, I think you ought to tax guns." John Kerry has voted nine (9) times to ban semi-automatic firearms. He has voted to ban many different kinds of centerfire rifle ammo. He has voted to hold gun manufacturers responsible for the uncivil, illegal and immoral actions of violent criminals. He was one of only eighteen (18) senators to vote against the Firearm Owners Protection Act. He voted to allow the BATFE to have unlimited inspections on FFL holders without even a warrant, violating the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights. He voted to criminalize many perfectly legal gun sales at gun shows. He has voted to hold lawful gun owners responsible for fines of up to $10,000 if a juvenile steals one of his guns and is found with it in public. He has voted eleven (11) times for waiting periods on lawful and honest gun owners before they can exercise their Second Amendment rights. He was named the Senate's most liberal member and has the full support of the American Socialist Party. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT U.S. SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM REHNQUIST HAS CANCER AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT MIGHT APPOINT UP TO FOUR NEW JUSTICES FOR THE NATION'S HIGHEST COURT, WHICH COULD DECIDE AN IMPORTANT SECOND AMENDMENT CASE. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LET YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT SENATOR JOHN KERRY AND HIS CUNNING ATTEMPTS TO TRICK AMERICA'S GUN OWNERS!!!!!!!!
