PRESS STATEMENT PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE == SIGNIFICANCE OF WHITE HOUSE SHOOTING == Today we live in a political climate where a perpetual spew of Big Lies from the anti-gun lobby and their media accomplices would make Adolf Hitler blush with embarrassment. It is as reasonable to believe that the recent White House shooting was staged by professional advocates of "gun control" -- more correctly termed "victim disarmament" -- or an administration wallowing in failure and well-deserved unpopularity, as it would be to believe that it typifies the behavior of American gun owners. This time, however, Constitutional rights will not be made the scapegoat; the Libertarian Second Amendment Caucus urges gun owners to take careful note of politicians who attempt it, mindful not just of upcoming elections, but of eventual prosecutions that will take place under its program of Bill of Rights enforcement. The Libertarian Second Amendment Caucus also believes that "news" coverage of this and similar events over the past 30 years demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is time to consider a serious and prolonged national debate over the responsibilities of mass media in a democracy. L. Neil Smith LSAC members are requested to distribute this release to all media
