Woops, I just had to ask. I suspect a third gender. Definately something with lots of time on its hands. If the suspect is married and has 5 children I'll be force to eat crow, but I think I'm safe. Consider this, Rebecca: would the world be a safer place if you were barefoot and pregnant? With apologies to long haired women, and or pregnant mothers everywhere who have a lot more brains and common sense than Miz Peters. Thanks to decal for the picture...I think.

South Africa, Britain, Nicaragua, Montenegro, Germany, Cambodia, Mauritius and Brazil have recently toughened their gun laws. In Belgium, Paraguay, Liberia, Guatemala, Burundi, Portugal, Senegal, Macedonia and Argentina (among others) the reforms are under way.

She forgot Venezuela.

The cross listing their names overlooks the memorial garden, a quiet place for contemplation and tears in honour of those so brutally slain on April 28, 1996.

How many more crosses do you need to remember those slain who were unable to protect themselves because of your gun laws?

I sent this link to the editors of The Australian:

While homicide is lower and robbery is similar, assault and rape occur more than twice as often in Australia, proving that when the physically weaker are barred from possessing the best tool for self-defense, they are rendered helpless.

Out of horror and insanity, something positive and rational was forged.

Yeah right.

Now that it's primarily only criminals who have guns in Australia the violent crime rate there is several times higher than it was before the draconian gun control laws were passed. If that's positive and rational then I'm a cockeyed kookaburra.

Particularly striking is the case of Brazil, which has one of the highest rates of gun violence, with nearly 40,000 gun deaths in 2003. That year the gun law was tightened, with spectacular results. Gun deaths dropped for the first time after 13 years of rising continuously; by the end of 2004 the rate had fallen by 8per cent, which translated into more than 3200 lives saved.

What is not mentioned is that Brazil IIRC, recently overwhelmingly voted down gun control laws similar to Britain and Australia.

Hi All-

Isn't it amazing how incredibly frothing and violent the gun-grabbing crowd can get about people who don't share their beliefs? I always thought liberals were supposed to be dedicated to inclusion and understanding...

This last is a reference to Britain, Australia and Canada, countries dubbed by the NRA as "formerly free nations".

What else can you call them? Citizens of free nations can exercise their God-given right to own and use arms for lawful purposes, anyone in any nation who can't do that without becoming a criminal is not a free person.

Free citizens can legally own and use arms, subjects and slaves can't.

"Both countries (Canada and Australia) have experienced a drop in gun violence as a result.

Hey, Rebecca, the news we have been hearing out of both Canada and Australia is that armed crime has significantly increased since the "gun ban" laws were enacted.

I think you are (still) trying to blow smoke up our tailfeathers.

Even very modest declarations on small arms are opposed by the US.

Funny how that works, isn't it? When you have a Right to Keep and Bear Arms, all global socialist swill should take a back seat.

For example, a resolution expressing concern about the effect of weapons proliferation on humanitarian activities and development was passed with 177 votes in favour and one (the US) against.

I guess it depends on how you word that resolution.

The NRA has characterised this small arms process as a mission "to confiscate civilian firearms worldwide and impose on Americans the lesser, inferior, global standard of freedom".

And rightly so. That is exactly what it is.

The UN and my own organisation, the International Action Network on Small Arms, are known as "the enemies of freedom".

You gotta problem wit' dat?

Firearms Legislation In The 109th Congress
Analysis by Gun Owners of America
April 2006

H.R. 1146 (Paul): This bill would pull the United States out of the anti-gun United Nations.

H.R. 3436 (Boustany and Wilson): This bill would defund the United Nations if it attempted to restrict the Second Amendment rights of Americans.

Since criminals by definition are not law-abiding, what do gun laws accomplish, besides disarming the wrong people?

Apparently Ms. Peters does not understand that in the United States, there is a right to not incriminate ones' self.

No known criminal (felon or domestic abuser) can be required to register a firearm here without violating their Fifth Amendment Right to not incriminate themselves.

Hey, Rebecca, the news we have been hearing out of both Canada and Australia is that armed crime has significantly increased since the "gun ban" laws were enacted.

The goal of neo-national socialists like Peters is TOTAL CIVILIAN DISARMENT. No lie is too extreme if it advances her goal. Civilian disarmament is religion with state worshipers like her and the late and unlamented fat s-o-s mayor of Atlanta - Maynard Jackson who outright said it that his goal was a "country were only the police and military were armed." To the gun control fanatics you and I aren't people with a legitimate point of view, we're heretics to be eliminated and punished.

Oh and BTW filth Peters is now in the USA doing her dirt in the Peoples' Democracy of Maryland - a fertile place for freedom haters.

People like Peters cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be distracted. They have no sympathy towards your attempt to remain free. They have no ability to compromise (except as a tactical distraction to advance their cause). They have one goal and they dedicate their lives to that goal. The are as much our implacable enemies as Mohammed Atma and his crew of 911 murderers. There are only three outcomes for this struggle. We kill them. They kill us. We end up totally enslaved and under their dominion. They will accept nothing else.

Thanks, Joe. Don't know if you listen to NRANews at all, but they've had discussions about this woman before. Like one of the "commercials" on the show says: "Rebecca Peters is like a live hand grenade with the pin almost out..."

she's a dangerous woman that's for sure. And with Soros' money to back her, there's no telling what she would bring to the table in this country if she ever gets here...Sara Brady? Psssh...she ain't nothin' compared to Peters...

At first, I thought you were going to discuss, "Brazilians Block Gun Ban."

Then, "She forgot Venezuela."
