New Documents Detail Clinton White House Behind-the-Scenes Role in
"War" on Gun Rights

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that
fights government corruption, announced today that it has uncovered
new documents from the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock,
Arkansas which shed light on the Clintons’ plan to attack the gun
industry. The following are highlights from the documents:



*
A March 6, 2000 letter from New York Attorney General Eliot
Spitzer includes a handwritten note at the top from Bill Clinton to
then-White House Deputy Counsel Bruce Lindsey, which reads: "Bruce,
See me re: this…has some good ideas for future." Among the "good
ideas" -- denying gun manufacturers the right to sell guns to the
military and law enforcement unless they sign an anti-gun "code of
conduct" that would have crippled the industry.



*
A memorandum from former Clinton Advisor Sidney Blumenthal to
Bruce Reed, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, dated
November 9, 1998, reads: "I've enclosed an article and a press
release about the new effort to file class action suits against gun
manufacturers. I think this is a very promising idea. Let's talk
about it soon." The press release, from the Mayor’s Office in New
Orleans, was in draft form, suggesting the Mayor coordinated the
strategy with the White House.



*
The "promising idea" identified by Blumenthal involved filing
massive product liability and negligence lawsuits against major
handgun makers, "the opening salvo in a campaign against the gun
industry by an alliance of anti-tobacco attorneys and local
governments," wrote The Los Angeles Times. According to one of the
lawyers involved in the lawsuits: "We are going to do to [the gun
industry] what we did to tobacco. It's going to be a very large war."



In March 2000, less than two years after the Blumenthal memo
referenced above, the Clinton strategy was used to strong-arm gun
manufacturer Smith and Wesson to install gun locks, introduce
so-called “smart gun” strategy, and to ban the sale of its weapons at
trade shows. Smith and Wesson broke ranks with other gun
manufacturers and agreed to execute this strategy if a lawsuit against
the company would be dropped.



“These new documents clearly show that the Clinton administration put
into motion an organized plan to attack the gun industry,” said
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Tough questions about these
extortive methods ought to be asked of both Clintons.”

And not a word is spoken about gun control today prior to election time.
It is all forgotten by the public. Don't worry these old bones will pop
out of the closet if the dimmies take control again. We are not safe
with democrats running the place and they talk about freedom lost under
the Bush administration, hah.

I can't find the information this morning but I have it somewhere.

Sometime around 1997 there was a big push on Gun control and the Brady bill.
Bottom line was that if people were convicted on Domestic Violence Charges
they could not carry a firearm. The article told how many police officers,
military members, etc that could not carry a weapon. The percentage was
mind boggling.
If they were to enforce the existing rules/laws they would not need any more
controls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But you'll surely be safe from those nasty Dems as long as you can clutch a
bunch of .30-30s and a few 9 mils. to your heaving chests.
Just like those folks in Waco did, when the tank appeared? Yeah, they
were safe all right.
Rubbish.
You'd sooner trade away all your other freedoms to a Republicant
administration just to keep your lousy peashooters.

You are the sleepy one.

The democrats are far more dangerous as far as your rights and freedoms
go than the republicans. Potential problems
; national health care, gun control and the demmies want the kyoto
treaty signed, (environment and global warming). These are all
potential attacks on your freedoms. Mark my word. Fortunately I don't
believe the dimmies will get the power back this November nor in 08, so
you can rest easy.

ANYONE!

If you don't realize how many you've lost under the republicants, you don't
deserve them and you won't miss 'em.

wrong again.......the republicants will be suffering from all their losses
in congress this year, and they might as well run Ann Coulter for president
in 08, for all the chance they have of retaining the White House. The
majority of American voters are heartily sick of the mess they've made both
domestically and abroad in the first decade of the 21st century.

Let's be nice. What freedoms have we/you lost while the republicans and
Bush have run the place??

You know we've never had the freedom to fornicate in public or drink
while under the influence. As for smoking bans, I feel the dimmies are
just as if not more for those bans than the republicans. That is a
freedom you had but now lost, if you smoke, there are those now who
would say they have gain freedom, from smoke in the workplace and where
they eat. So some have lost a freedom and some have gained. Why not
let me know what other freedoms we have lost.

Scott in Florida

'The Land of the Free because of the Brave'

Using the court to force things on the public that can not get passed in the
Congress is nothing new with the Dims. They and the trial lawyers have been
doing that for years. The left has been screaming about the Patriot Act
since it was passed, when the only thing the Patriot Act did was tie
together several existing laws and allow government agency to work in
consort. Many of our rights have been abridged by the Judiciary and nobody
cares. A law that would allow the government to take property for the
public 'GOOD' rather than just for public 'USE' as the founder intended
would never have passed the congress. Allowing unborn babies to killed
would never have passed the congress, but nobody cares. Thank goodness for
the vigilance of the NRA in protection our right to bear arms as the founder
intended..
