CLINTON ADMITS SUPPORT OF REGISTRATION

      NRA has consistently labeled Bill Clinton as the most anti- gun President this nation has ever known; however, he is politically savvy and has been reluctant to go on record in support of proposals like national licensing and registration of gun owners. Until now.

      On Friday, 6/4, Clinton appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America," where he made it clear that his agenda is to restrict our right to keep and bear arms to the fullest extent. Referring to the recent attacks on gun shows, and in an attempt to placate critics who claim he is not going far enough in his attacks on the Second Amendment, Clinton stated, "...I have made it perfectly clear that I want to get [Lautenberg] passed in the House. Then we will come back and try to pass some more things...."

      He went on to state, "Should people...have to register guns like they register their cars? Do I think that? Of course, I do." For those who have Internet access, go to www.nraila.org to read an article by attorney Stephen Halbrook on how the Nazi government of Germany used gun owner registration programs to confiscate firearms. This article will also appear in the August 1999 issue of the AmericanRifleman.
