Those of you who are still awake, thanks for your patience. The absence from the Republican crime bill reform of any mention of gun control stirred up quite a ruckus among gun rights movement. Having seen the McClure-Volkmer reform to the Gun Control Act of 1968 languish for two years in the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee with a majority of the Senate co-sponsoring it, I certainly felt a sense of deja vu. Fortunately, Wayne LaPierre, Tanya Metaksa and Neal Knox felt the same thing. The last paper version of _Hard Corps Report_ (January 17) included a letter blasting the Republicans for wanting to wait until May to roll out a gun law reform and urged Second Amendment activists to confront their elected servants on this issue. That edition of HCR was (we hope) out of date only a week after it hit the streets. The Republican leadership has laid out a strategy to reform the Crime Bill and to educate Congress and the People with hearings on Waco, Ruby Ridge and other BATF abuses. I know that there are those among us who say this is just another dastardly Republican trap. I tend to suspect it myself On the other hand, we really don't have the votes right now to override a veto. After three months of hearings that flog BATF and shine light into some previously dark corners, the votes may well be there. I'd rather see real results three months from now than to make a valiant gesture that goes nowhere today. Meanwhile, we need to make sure that the Republicans hold up their end of the deal. It couldn't hurt to call your Representative. Remind him of an old political adage: "You dance with the one who brung you." ======================================================================== PGP Users: Be sure to remove the leading asterisks before the hyphens before using this key. *-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAy8Q4mIAAAEEALKdSCTF6BvTg4luk1IOYtiQyxPotnTjjijSawo9htwZeFS/ KU0WAPkeDuhgKSN3H5242irpkfUu8g84fAPBH6a6joaFN7OchRa49WXnz2dReT0V iT9xeec9rPSASH04dz+lEONeDZ17yh/JGt+tjYq0CIenFZ9JMCGz4I2lBJDFAAUR tCdDaHJpc3RvcGhlciBXYXJyZW4gS25veCA8Y2tub3hAY3JsLmNvbT4= =Sz/w *-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Disclaimer: Chris Knox wrote and is solely responsible for everything above this line (except where explicitly noted below). ======================================================================== In memory of Bruce Nelson Bruce Nelson of Tucson died suddenly last week.

Look at the dates on all of these stories. --Chris] FOLLOWING FROM HARD CORPS REPORT OF 1/17/95 -- LEAD ITEM, THE ALERT TO GET SEMI-AUTO AND MAG BAN ON REPUBLICAN CRIME BILL REFORM WAS OUT OF DATE A WEEK LATER DUE TO MEETING/AGREEMENT BETWEEN NRA AND GINGRICH. THE REPUBLICANS BROKE THE CRIME BILL INTO PARTS TO PREVENT ENDLESS AMENDMENTS FROM DEMS (AND US) AND TO FORCE CLINTON TO IDENTIFY JUST WHICH PARTS OF CRIME BILL HE DIDN'T LIKE, AND WHY. GINGRICH IS UPHOLDING HIS END OF DEAL, SUCH AS BY APPOINTING TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP PRO-GUN PROGRAM, BUT JUST IN CASE, WE'RE ALSO SUPPORTING STOCKMAN/CHAPMAN/BARTLETT REPEAL BILL AND A REVISED BREWSTER BILL, WHICH REWRITES CRIME BILL BY STRIKING EVERYTHING EXCEPT PURE ANTI-CRIME STUFF LIKE PRISONS -- AND DROPS ALL GUN STUFF FROM LAW. BREWSTER HAS WIDESPREAD APPEAL. AFTER 45 DAYS -- REPEAL VOTE PROMISED IN MAY -- A DISCHARGE PETITION COULD BE STARTED ON BREWSTER BILL. -- NK [A discharge petition is a process to force the Speaker to bring a bill directly to the floor, bypassing the committee process, and in effect over-ruling the Speaker of the House. The petition has to be signed by a substantial number of members (can't recall the number), and it sits directly in front of the Speaker's podium so he gets to look in the eye those who would defy him. Needless to say, it's a rare event. - -- Chris] (January 17 HCR) The headline completely across the Jan. 14 Cleveland Plain Dealer screamed in 72-point type "Clinton Blames Losses On NRA." "The NRA is the reason the Republicans control the House," the President told reporters and editors of Ohio's largest newspaper. "The fight for the assault weapons [sic] ban cost 20 members their seats in Congress," he said during a break from a trade conference. [You'll recall the same statement in his State of the Union speech. -- Chris] Although columnist Bob Novak had earlier quoted a Congressman who said the President had told him substantially the same thing (he supposedly said "21 seats"), it was the first time Clinton had made such a statement on the record. Alert Plain Dealer editors made the story their banner headline. The newspaper's lead paragraph succinctly summed up: "the historic Republican takeover of the House was made possible because the National Rifle Association targeted Democrats who supported his crime bill." NRA-ILA Executive Director Tanya Metaksa responded: "For once the President and I agree." She told the newspaper that Congress had passed the crime bill "last fall amid Democratic boasts that the power of the NRA had been broken," but that the gun ban in the crime bill proved to be the "crux of the election," and the "main problem for the administration." The Plain Dealer wrote that Rep. Eric Fingerhut "has said he was one congressman who paid for his support of the crime bill, which banned so-called assault weapons capable of firing many bullets." NOTE: IT SHOULD BE REALIZED THAT CLINTON'S REASON FOR BLAMING/DEMONIZING NASTY NRA FOR GINGRICH AND GOP HOUSE IS TO DIVERT ATTENTION/BLAME FROM HIS POLICIES WHICH CAUSED COUNTRY TO BE RIPE FOR CHANGE. NK Republicans plan broad agenda (January 17) Traditionally, the opening day of Congress has consisted of swearing-in ceremonies, parties, then a long recess while members hired staff, got accustomed to new quarters and waited for the President's State of the Union Speech to establish the legislative agenda for the year. This opening day session didn't end until 2:25 a.m. Not only did the Republican majority significantly change the House rules -- such as by eliminating proxy voting in committees -- they introduced most of the legislation to back up the GOP "Contract With America" 100-day plan. That "100-day program" is going to be about the only thing Congress does over the next two years, other than hold investigative hearings (the bully pulpit) and appropriate funds (Bill Clinton can't veto dollars that aren't spent). That's why it is critical that repeal or significant reform of the gun laws, and other issues of concern to gun owners, be included in the initial Republican agenda -- and NRA-ILA lobbyists are scrambling to get their baggage on that train before it pulls out of the station. Key issues on gunowners minds are how BATF and Justice Department conducted themselves at the Waco and Ruby Ridge atrocities, how BATF is enforcing the new gun laws and dealing with importers and dealers, how BATF has illegally computerized gun records, how EPA has launched an attack on the use of lead shot and bullets, how the Interior Department and Forest Service and their branches are trying to shut down hunting and access to Federal lands, how the Civilian Marksmanship program will fare during declining defense budgets, and much else. All of those issues, and more, were being discussed by NRA Board members with about 100 Congressmen and Senators who attended NRA's opening day reception -- which featured Charlton Heston, a frequent NRA spokesman who had campaigned for many of them.. One Congressman gleefully told Jay Knox that he thought it delightful that NRA could throw such a well-attended party, with so many House and Senate members it had helped elect, just six months after being written off by the press as defunct. Speaker pledges help By NEAL KNOX (Shotgun News Column) WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 1) -- Last week the Speaker of the House gave NRA an unprecedented commitment to work for repeal of last year's gun ban, and to block future erosion of Second Amendment rights. Speaker Newt Gingrich, in a Jan. 27 letter to ILA Director Tanya Metaksa, said a 1 1/2 hour meeting between the House Leadership and NRA formed the basis for "a partnership of strengthening laws against the criminal misuse of firearms, which everyone agrees is the real problem issue, and eliminating harassment of law abiding gun owners who are not the problem." The Jan. 25 meeting was called the day after President Bill Clinton's State of the Union pledge to block any repeal of the semi-auto ban. It wasn't Tanya's good looks that caused the Speaker to call us in. NRA members -- and many pro-gun Congressmen -- were demanding that it be attached to the Republican crime bill. Your letters and calls had gotten their attention. The leadership had already decided to split the crime bill into a half-dozen separate bills, mainly to prevent endless delaying amendments from the Democrats. We were given a choice of having the gun ban repeal vote as either the first crime issue vote, or the last, sometime in May -- after a series of hearings to educate the public and the Congress. We chose what the Speaker called "a coherent Second Amendment strategy to define gun ownership as a Constitutional right, not a duck hunting right." The next day the leadership began putting together a Second Amendment Task Force, headed by Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), and composed mainly of energetic freshmen. The hearings will include not only the Second Amendment but how BATF and other agencies are stretching and abusing their regulatory and law enforcement powers, including what happened to the Branch Davidians and Randy Weaver. Since the Republicans are allowing all germane amendments to be offered, it's a certainty that Rep. Charles Schumer will attempt to ban or restrict expanding bullets, limit gun purchases, impose owner licensing or add other parts of "Brady II." Having those votes after hearings -- in which witnesses and issues never before allowed will be heard -- our vote margins on the gun and magazine ban repeal should improve, and the anti- gunners will find it more difficult to push their agenda. Even so it will be difficult to pass a gun ban repeal in the Senate, where a filibuster is a real possibility. As for the President's threat to block gun law reforms, Speaker Gingrich said: "We look forward to taking on Clinton and his veto strategy. And if we have to zero the budgets of the offending bureaucrats to get his attention, we'll do it. And you can quote me." Others attending the meeting in the Capitol were Majority Leader Richard Armey (Tex.), House Republican Conference Chairman John Boehner (Ohio), Whip Tom DeLay (Tex.), National Republican Conference Committee Chairman Bill Paxon (N.Y.) and Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bill McCollum (Fla.). NRA was represented by Senator (and NRA Director) Larry Craig, Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, ILA Executive Director Tanya Metaksa, key staffers and myself, the only immediately available NRA officer. Sen. Craig opened the meeting by reading from the Cleveland Plain Dealer banner article of Jan. 14: "Clinton Blames Losses On NRA." It quotes the President as saying: "The NRA is the reason the Republicans control the House" -- with which the leaders didn't agree, though acknowledging NRA's major role. Wayne and I detailed the efforts that NRA and its members had put into the elections of Presidents Bush and Reagan while each of us had been the ILA Director -- and the fact that both Administrations had reneged on their promises to gunowners. That raised some hackles, but Speaker Gingrich thanked us for reminding him of "the frustrations that my gun-owning constituents and I felt over our inability to get reforms in the gun laws and the agencies that enforce them. You have the Speaker's commitment that it won't happen this time." He included another pledge in his letter to Tanya: "As long as I am Speaker of this House, no gun control legislation is going to move in committee or on the floor of this House." This battle is far from won, but we have a new and powerful ally. --- House Firearms Legislation Task Force meets AUSTIN, Texas (Feb. 10) -- While I've been in Missouri and Texas this week pushing for passage of Right To Carry bills, the U.S. House was taking up the series of crime measures in the Republican "Contract with America" -- and slapped BATF in the chops. And earlier today the Firearms Legislation Task Force held its first meeting. The Task Force, chaired by Rep. Bob Barr (R- Ga.), was appointed by Speaker Newt Gingrich and Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bill McCollum (R-Fla.) as a result of a meeting between NRA leaders and the entire House Republican leadership two weeks ago. Other members are Republican Reps. Roscoe Bartlett (Md.), Ed Bryant (Tenn.), Helen Chenoweth (Idaho), Fred Heineman (N.C.) and Steve Stockman (Tex.). According to a faxed letter from Rep. Barr to ILA Executive Director Tanya Metaksa, Speaker Gingrich attended and asked the Task Force to "develop a comprehensive strategy and plan that will restore the rights of our citizenry to keep and bear arms, in accordance with the Second Amendment of the Constitution." Rep. Barr asked Tanya for the help of ILA "and others sympathetic to our purpose in developing appropriate proposals for legislation, hearings and oversight." On Feb. 8 the House passed a bill allowing evidence seized in an unlawful search to be used as evidence if police believed the search were valid. Early in this century the Supreme Court adopted the "Exclusionary Rule," declaring that if police made a search in violation of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against "unreasonable searches and seizures," no discovered evidence could be used in court. Over the years the courts have tightened that restriction to include minor imperfections in search warrants, causing the guilty to go free because a magistrate failed to dot an "i" or cross a "t." The Republicans' "good faith exception" was intended to allow such evidence to be used, but many gun owners -- remembering Waco, Ruby Ridge and other no-knock searches for firearms where law-abiding citizens have been killed -- have been leery of loosening police restraints. Rep. Harold Volkmer (D-Mo.), with the help of Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich) and NRA-ILA, amended the bill so the less- restrictive standards would not apply to BATF. The Volkmer Amendment was passed 228-198 by a weird coalition that included 73 staunchly pro-gun rights Republicans and 154 Democrats who included both those for and against gun rights. Opponents included 44 virulently anti-gun Dems led by Rep. Charles Schumer and mostly pro-gun Republicans who were committed to all the provisions of the "Contract with America." In sum, no one can read those votes and determine what they meant, but it was delightful to be able to stuff one in BATF's ear. --- Right to Carry Bills Move in Texas and Missouri On Monday night I met with Missouri gun rights leaders and spoke at a well-attended rally in the capital, called by the grass roots guns groups in the state. Estimates of the crowd by the organizers ranged from 1,200 to 1,500. A surly capital police sergeant said "about 150." I told him I knew that many attendees by their first names. I met with Gov. Mel Carnahan, who has been dubious about a more-liberalized bill. Our grass roots groups believe they may have enough votes to override his possible veto. The bill, which passed both Houses last year, has a few imperfections -- accepted to win key votes -- but it would still be one of the best Personal Protection statutes in the country. In Texas, negotiations are still going on with the principal sponsors, but whatever comes out is assured to be infinitely better than the training-heavy, too-costly licensing bill that former Gov. Ann Richards vetoed last year. Gov. George W. Bush Jr. has said he would sign a "proper bill." Gov. Bush, Lt. Gov. Bullock, Speaker Pete Laney and about 100 legislators were greeted at NRA's reception by all three NRA officers plus Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and Tanya. The objective of that unprecedented display of NRA strength was to let the Texas legislature know we are serious -- about Personal Protection laws that are moving in a half-dozen states. --- BATF on carpet over dealer records During U.S. House Treasury Appropriations Subcommittee hearings Wednesday, BATF Director John Magaw and Treasury Undersecretary Ron Noble admitted the agency is computerizing out- of-business dealer records. They contend their appropriations restriction against compiling dealer records does not apply since they are only the records of former gun dealers. That sophist argument did not cut any ice with Rep. Ernest Istook, who has demanded more information. Sec. 926 of the Gun Control Act, as amended by McClure-Volkmer, also prohibits such computerization. Undersecretary Noble thought it was silly for Congress to impose such a restriction. Back in 1978, when BATF decided to ignore congressional rejection of registration laws, and tried to set up a registration system by regulation. We cut the $4.2 million estimated cost out of their budget. This time they didn't ask, they just started doing it. And we have a new Congress which is trying to find ways to save taxpayer's money. Stay tuned. Treasury Considering BATF Cuts Or Merger Treasury Department is considering merging its three law enforcement agencies -- Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; Customs; and Secret Service -- as an alternative to major budget cuts in BATF proposed by the White House Office of Management and Budget. Rabidly anti-gun Assistant Treasury Secretary for Enforcement Ron Noble, denounced the proposed 600-man cut in BATF as "stupid" and "completely out of synch with what this President stands for." When the Reagan Administration proposed folding BATF into Secret Service in 1981, the then-chief told Neal Knox: "Mix dirty water with clean water, you get dirty water." Right To Carry laws moving in States Feb. 19 update -- NRA-backed Right To Carry laws passed the second house in Utah and Arkansas this week and are awaiting governors' signatures. A vote on a liberalized Virginia carry bill is scheduled for Monday in the House Courts of Justice Committee. Action is expected soon on similar bills pending in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. NRA files Michigan "assault weapon" ban suit Last week, NRA filed suit in Federal Court in Michigan to strike down the so-called "assault weapon" ban, challenging it on grounds of "unconstitutional vagueness" and Tenth Amendment restrictions on the powers of Congress. Those grounds are more likely to result in a quick decision, since the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has already struck down a similar Columbus ordinance on grounds that the guns are not clearly defined. A challenge based on the Second Amendment is in the works. D.C. Kicks off another gun push Washington, D.C., until last year the nation's murder capital, where handguns have been banned for 18 years, is kicking off yet another effort to "get guns off the streets" -- with a probably illegal stop and frisk campaign, a "gun court" and at least some time served for illegal possession. The plan is based on a Kansas City enforcement program that supposedly reduced armed crime by 40 percent. Fewer threats seen in state assemblies The election day earthquake that rocked Congress also realigned many state legislatures. Though various gun laws have been proposed, and special sessions called -- as in Pennsylvania -- gun activists generally report greater confidence that restrictive legislation will be beaten back. Further, liberal carry license laws are considered to have a good chance of passage this year -- after several years of concentrated effort -- in both Missouri and Texas. A rally in Jefferson City is planned for 10 a.m. Feb. 7 and NRA will host a reception for legislators in Austin Feb. 8. Maryland gun owners generally improved their legislative position, but saw the election of a committed anti-gun governor who, surprisingly, announced that he did not intend to push any firearms legislation this year. Chairman Hatch plans ATF/FBI probe (January 17) Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said last week that he plans early hearings concerning BATF and Justice Department actions in the Waco and Ruby Ridge tragedies. The two BATF supervisors in direct command of the Branch Davidian assault at Waco were fired, but have been reinstated. A Justice Department review of the killings of the wife and 14-year-old son of Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge reportedly had recommended that at least two FBI agents be criminally prosecuted for violation of law and the Constitution. But Justice Dept. declined, and won't allow Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) to see a copy of their report. FBI Director Louis Freeh wound up merely slapping various FBI officials on the wrist, including putting a "letter of reprimand" into the file of the Washington commander -- the same "punishment" Freeh received for losing a cellular telephone. Rhino Ammo -- Hoax or ploy? The news media went into hysterics after Christmas over a would-be ammo maker's claims that his "Rhino" bullet would produce grenade-like wounds -- and that his polymer-tipped "Black Rhino" design would do it after first penetrating a police officer's Kevlar vests. The outgoing chairman of the House Judiciary Crime Subcommittee, Rep. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), announced he intended to introduce legislation to ban any bullet that would penetrate a Kevlar vest. And Sen. Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) demanded the elimination of expanding "dum-dum" bullets, either by legislation or exorbitant tax. The incoming Republican Judiciary Chairman, Henry Hyde (R- Ill.), said on ABC "This Week": "I see no useful purpose for bullets that will penetrate bullet-proof vests. Antelope don't wear bullet-proof vests." Of course, any hunting rifle -- and most hunting pistol loads -- will zing through Kevlar vests, which were never intended to do more than stop relatively low-powered handgun ammo. NRA put out a press release saying the maker's claims -- first made in Newsweek -- "had all the trappings of a hoax." Amazingly, ABC Nightline agreed. Their laboratory tests showed the .45 ACP Rhino expanding bullet to produce normal wounds for hollow point handgun ammo, while performing erratically. No one ever saw the fabled "Black Rhino," which ABC likened to the "mythical unicorn." Handgun Control Inc. was strangely quiet, causing some to suspect the flap was actually a legislative ploy. A leftover update from last year Dec. 7 update -- More good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Madison, Wis., city council last night banned future possession of all handguns with under four inch barrels and all so-called "assault weapons" -- whatever those are. Only last year the citizens of Madison rejected a handgun ban referendum, and two other Wisconsin cities overwhelmingly rejected handgun ban referendums in last month's elections, but Mayor Paul Soglin declared this ordinance is what the people want. He also told council members he would be back for more of what he wants -- which is clearly a total ban on all firearms. The good news is that yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court slammed the Federal Election Commission, upholding an appellate court's ruling that NRA did not owe a $40,000 fine for an alleged campaign law violation. Some more bad news is that one Republican California assemblyman yesterday switched to Independent, then voted for Willie Brown for leader -- making the vote 40-40. When Dick Mountjoy resigns to take his Senate seat, Shrewd Willie may still be leader.. --- Republicans and Democrats in both Houses have now elected their leaders and I'm generally delighted with the results. One disgruntled Democratic Senator said that while Republicans had elected a lion, Trent Lott as Majority Whip, the Democrats had elected a lamb, Tom Daschle, as Minority Leader. In both Houses the Democrats picked the leftists who led them into the ambush. House Republicans picked mainly pro- gunners from top to bottom. --- President Clinton, who continues to be in an advanced state of denial about Democrat losses in the election, said again Friday that he would veto any effort to repeal the Brady law or the semi-auto ban. But according to Bob Novak's Sunday column, Pres. Clinton has said the "A.W." ban cost Democrats 21 seats. The anti-gun chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Henry Hyde said Friday that he didn't think there would be any attempt to push such a repeal because the Congress had already settled the matter and didn't want to resurrect the issue. I have news for him: this is a new Congress, which is why he is now chairman. ======================================================================== Copyright 1994 by Neal Knox Associates P.O.
