NEAL KNOX REPORT
Another Coincidence
By NEAL KNOX
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 1) -- On the eve of the elections,
with the crime bill ban on military-style guns a major issue in
dozens of close races, a quiet guy from Colorado shoots up the
White House.
The gun was a Chinese-made SKS -- not on the crime bill's
banned list, but no longer legal to import, and illegally
converted (under the 1991 crime bill) by adding a folding stock
and high-capacity detachable magazine.
It was almost predictable because these ill-timed -- some
would say perfectly timed -- incidents so often carry the exact
message that is currently highest on the anti-gun agenda.
The press and Handgun Control Inc. are crowing that the
White House shooting shows "how right" those politically
threatened Congressmen were to ban so-called "assault weapons."
Someone has said: "Once is happenstance; twice is
coincidence; three times is enemy action."
In 1962, with Sen. Tom Dodd's mail order gun ban beginning
to move, President John F. Kennedy and a Dallas police officer
were killed with mail-ordered guns.
The day the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on the Dodd
bill, two votes were changed -- and the bill came out -- because
Martin Luther King was murdered.
Two months later, the day the House was expected to kill the
bill, Sen. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. The bill became law.
In 1984, with an armor-piercing bullet ban pending and
"Uzi's" under fire, James Huberty killed 21 at a San Ysidro
McDonald's -- armed with an Uzi rifle loaded with rare iron-cored
armor-piercing 9mm's (though most were killed by his shotgun).
A couple of years later, Michael Ryan killed 16 people in
Hungerford, England with an AK-47S -- for which he had been
licensed unusually quickly and easily. That resulted in a law
requiring owners to destroy such guns; required pump and semi-
auto shotguns to be arsenal-altered to two shots, and even
demanded registration of double-barrel shotguns.
Exactly the same thing then happened, with similar results,
in Australia.
In January 1989, with model "assault weapon" legislation
from HCI having been filed in several states, and with the
California Attorney General already having asked police for
evidence to support his planned "assault weapon" ban, Patrick
Purdey killed five kids and wounded 31 on a Stockton, Calif.
schoolyard, using an AK-47S.
With the Senate scheduled to vote on an "assault weapons"
ban, Joseph Wesbecker killed 8 and wounded 14 with an AK-47S in a
Louisville printing plant, Sept. 14, 1989.
When Lepine killed 14 women at a Canadian college with a
Ruger Mini-14 -- Canada's laws were further tightened.
In 1990, with floor votes pending on semi-auto bills in both
houses of the U.S. Congress, a guy with a long criminal record,
one James Pough killed eight people at a Jacksonville, Fla., GMAC
office with a .30 M1 Carbine.
On Oct. 16, 1991, the day before the U.S. House was
scheduled to vote on a bill banning "assault weapons" and over-
seven-shot magazines, JoJo Henard used 15 and 17-round pistols to
shoot 42 people, killing 21, in Killeen, Texas.
There have been many other such cases -- as many as five
within a year -- each seeming to come at the best time for anti-
gunners to pass legislation by dancing in fresh blood.
If the availability of military-style guns were the
culprit, we would have been seeing such mass murders regularly
throughout American history, for there's never been a time when
the Army smallarms from recent wars weren't common.
The 30-shot M1 Carbine Pough used at the GMAC office has
been as common as Chevrolets for 51 years; high capacity 9mm
pistols have been plentiful for 60 years; AR-15's and AK-47S's
have been abundant for 20 to 30 years.
Why have almost all the horrible incidents with those guns
occurred within just the last ten years?
Is it possible that some of those incidents could have been
created for the purpose of disarming the people of the free
world? With drugs and evil intent, it's possible.
Rampant paranoia on my part? Maybe. But there have been
far too many coincidences to ignore.
