I'm not referring to the general gun owning population of America. I'm referring to this extremist group: gunowners.org Friday, July 6, 2001) -- A lot of your hard work bore fruit last week. As you may know, Attorney General John Ashcroft recommended that the FBI should only keep gun buyers' records for 24 hours, as opposed to the 90 days that the Clinton administration had been asking for. This is a battle which Gun Owners of America began more than three years ago. In 1998, GOA was working closely with Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH) in an effort to make significant changes in the Brady law. Sen. Smith offered a GOA-supported amendment in hopes of forcing the FBI to "immediately destroy" any and all records relating to gun buyers. (His amendment also prohibited the FBI from effectively taxing gun buyers.) Those of you who have been on the GOA fax/email system for some time will remember that we blitzed the Senate in support of this legislation and that we won an incredible victory.
