Anti-Gun Extremists Expose
More Of Their Agenda

"...[S]upport of banning the possession of all firearms by anyone under the age of 21, mandating a psychological examination for anyone under the age of 25 who wishes to purchase a firearm, and a complete ban on all pump-action rifles and shotguns..."  


Dees-Thomases
While NRA has always known that anti-gun extremists will support any measure that will further their gun-ban agenda, it's rare for them to go on record as supporting anything more than what they nebulously refer to as "common-sense" reforms. In a recent opinion piece in the Detroit Free Press, however, Donna Dees-Thomases has chosen to eschew this practice, and actually put in writing what she and her ilk consider "common-sense."

Dees-Thomases, you will recall, is the political operative with close ties to the Clinton/Gore Administration who founded the MMM, which is now under the control of HCI, In her piece in the Free Press, she openly proclaims her support of banning the possession of all firearms by anyone under the age of 21, mandating a psychological examination for anyone under the age of 25 who wishes to purchase a firearm, and a complete ban on all pump-action rifles and shotguns. This last position is most revealing.

Again. NRA has always known the ultimate goal of anti-gun extremists such as Dees-Thomases and her masters at HCI is to ban firearms, but they almost never admit this fact, and have feigned indignation when NRA has referred to HCI, et al., as the gun-ban lobby.

Not only does this article clearly show HCI and MMM do support banning guns, but it completely dispels the stale mantra of anti-gun extremists that they do not wish to affect hunters. When defending its support of banning so-called "assault weapons," HCI even states, "To alleviate concerns that hunting weapons somehow might be affected, the law provides specific protection to 670 types of hunting rifles and shotguns that are presently being manufactured."

Of course, pump-action firearms, especially shotguns, are widely represented on that list, and have been some of the most popular hunting gums for more than a century. Dees-Thomases has unequivocally confirmed that the ultimate goal of antigun extremists is to eliminate all firearms, even if they have to do it one gun at a time.
