Thank you Turboe, After the rest of this year I have become a solid supporter of the 2nd amendment. The only people that would not have guns if laws were passed are the people that obey and respect laws not the thugs and racist. A close friend of ours has many guns and has let my boys learn to shoot and believe it or not this has done more to help them heal than anything. IMO training is the important factor in this situation. Donald Anderson claimed his constitutional right to bare arms is being violated, I don't think he has a clue what it means to have a postition of defense. The case in Jasper has used our case to emphasise the need for stronger hate crime charges. We were one of the first convictions based on hate crimes. The ADL was the founders of these laws and we all enjoyed watching their labors produce fruit. Emile thinks this was a minor little incident and my husband and I as Jews over dramatise it. I am sure shooting at little Jewish boys with a major assault weapon is entertaining to him and his type but it makes me want to throw up. One other point about Donald Anderson is that his family claim Vietnam as a major factor in the change in his personality. The day this happened an ex-soldier was in the Congtregation and he knew immediately by Anderson expression and stance that he was there to kill. He broke out windows in the back of the building and started pushing children and women outside and telling them to run. The Holocaust denial that Emile and other Nazi types openly proclaim is leading to their increase in violent crimes. God help us all!!!! Nancy
