So it goes...Disarm America..so only the criminals have the guns...what a
bunch of crap from these politicians and their lame followers...

Law dogs had their chance to peacefully take the waco wanted, as did the
lets play top cops in ruby ridge. instead they wanted the chance to use all
those new techniques and weaponry they have been training so hard to deploy
on those poor people and make some headlines for themselves .

So if the General citizenry must obey a law to lock up or surrender their
protection..it would be like bringing a fist to a gun fight...in other
words, they think its ok to lay down and die....

New York has a mandatory 1 year jail sentence if caught with a gun...do you
think the criminals who get caught with guns care...

Read how this Gun law Crap has effected this Grand Mother in California. she
makes a strong point about the armed protection politicians have verses what
they want the rest of us to have.

California is the most screwed up state in the country when it comes to
laws..


Grandmother Of Slain Children
Protests Gun Trigger Locks

To Whom It May Concern,

To my understanding you are debating the passage of laws requiring trigger
locks and mandatory storage of guns. I am a second generation resident of
the State of California, a mother and a grieving grandmother. I wish to
express to you how trigger locks and mandatory storage laws in the State of
California affected my family. I hope my testimony may save someone in your
state from sharing the pain we must now endure for the remainder of our
lives. No law you can pass will keep the irresponsible from shooting
accidents or a felon from stealing a gun. I am enclosing a portion of a
letter I wrote to my own state legislators concerning the constant
progression of laws restricting our guns in my state.

Depending on whether or not you truly care, you may or may not recognize my
name. I am the paternal grandmother of the two children who were brutally
murdered inside their rural Merced California home on August 23, 2000 by a
stranger with a pitchfork.

Instead of suing gun manufacturers, I am of the opinion it is our lawmakers
who need to be sued. It was you who created the laws that kept my
grandchildren from being able to defend themselves with any weapon greater
than their bare hands. All of my son's children had been trained in the use
of firearms but were unable to get to their Dad's weapon because of
California State Law.

* You, who have CCW permits or armed bodyguards, or both expect me to face a
society gone mad because of drug-altered brains and lax laws on the
perpetrators of crime?

* You had no room in your prisons for the killer of my grandchildren though
his wife had reported to the police in Mojave California in June of 1997
that he had forced her and their infant son into his car (kidnapping) while
living in southern California?

* At that time she also reported how she had managed to escape from him in
Mojave after he held a gun to her head (assault with a deadly weapon)
threatening to kill her and their one-month-old child? Though more recently
she had given to the Dos Palos California Police Dept. the tape from her
message minder threatening to kill her present husband?

* Though he had assaulted a police officer while resisting arrest for drug
charges?

* Though he had violated his parole by not appearing at his hearing and they
had a warrant out for his arrest?

* Though they knew where he lived, and also his mother and grandmother, yet
failed to pick him up?

* Will you then find room for my son in your prisons should his
fourteen-year-old daughter have access to his gun while she is babysitting
her siblings?

There is a growing list, in my area alone, of people (mostly women) who
might still be alive had they not been in a state where the use of a gun was
prohibited. Juli Sund, Carole Sund, Selvina Pelosso, Joie Armstrong, Ashley
and John William Carpenter to name a few. Lawmakers talk big about a woman's
right to choose yet don't allow me the very basic right to choose to defend
myself? If teachers were allowed to carry a concealed weapon to school you
would see the school shootings disappear. The same is true with the citizen
on the street. The reason is, these killers are cowards. You can tell by
their choice of victims. They operate best where they know there are no
guns.

Look at your child tonight and imagine him or her with their eyes jabbed
out, their skulls splintered, their brains pierced, and their spines broken
with the heavy tines of a spading fork. In defending her sisters to the
death with the only weapon you allowed her, Ashley had 138 puncture wounds.
Twenty-nine of them were on the right side of her face, five on the back of
her head, and thirty-seven to her chest and lower neck. (Obviously he was
trying to behead her.) She was nine years old. While committing no crime
greater than sleeping in his parents bed, in his own house, John William, 7
years old, was stabbed 46 times, with most of them in the chest, neck, and
head. Depending on the condition of your heart, you may or may not feel a
small measure of the pain my family and I must endure for the remainder of
our lives.

Now, imagine all the gun laws you can dream up and honestly admit whether or
not they would have stopped such a mad dog as this. This man was a total
stranger to the family, and other than a trace of marijuana, was not on
drugs at the time. However, by the testimony of his wife and girlfriend, he
was a drug user who became frightening whenever he used them. All your
imagined gun laws will do is insure someone's children will die again. Take
a drive downtown and see for yourself all the drug addled brains.

You may declare gun free zones, but you cannot declare killer free zones.

This tragedy has made me realize I am not even safe in my locked home, my
barn, or my backyard. I dare you to request the autopsy reports of John
William & Ashley Danielle Carpenter done on August 28,2000 from Sheriff Tom
Sawyer of the Merced County Sheriffs Dept.

Also ask him for the police interview with the killer's wife and girlfriend
telling about his drug use and devil worship. Ask Detective Parsley about
his fetish for horror movies produced by a John Carpenter, (no relation to
us), and one he especially liked, that we have learned depicts a killing
done with a pitchfork. His last employment was as a telemarketer in Merced.
If you have an honest bone in your body you will see this country is in
desperate need of a change of heart not the gun laws that have been in place
for over two hundred years. All the gun laws you can imagine cannot change
the heart of a killer and you know it. Until man's heart is changed, we will
be like sheep led to the slaughter without our weapons of defense. May you
stand before God and man as my two precious grandchildren's killer if you
pass any more gun legislation that will make me a felon should I own a
handgun or any other gun for that matter.

Sincerely, Mary Carpenter
