[Moderator's Note: This is only tangentially related to hunting. However, I feel that the addition of hunting clubs to the list will be a valuable contribution to the fight against the madness. tjr] As secretary for my gun club I get some stuff from the NRA that most people don't see. The NRA plans to put the advertisement below in newspapers starting the week of Monday 4/29. In order to show widespread opposition to the Brady bill they need the name of gun clubs on the advertisement. You can add club names to the ad by calling 18008472299; this line is open 24 hours a day. Ad follows: "the desirability of the pointofsale system is that it involves instant background checks that are just as reliable as thos performed during a sevenday waiting period. ... The feasibility of this program makes it a preferred option. ... The pointofsale system is preferable."

The Staggers Instant Check Bill requires a criminal record check on every handgun purchaser, and provides for computerization of criminal records so checks will be fast, fair, accurate and free of abuse. Similar to a credit card check, such a system is already in place and proven effective in Virginia with more states coming on line. The instant check is affordable, does not burden police and is supported by the U.S. Department of Justice. (groups to come) Paid for by the National Rifle Association (C) 1991 NRA End advertisment. The choice is yours, all the hassels with the Brady bill that have been pointed out here countless times, or an immediate verification.
