    Assault Weapons Ban - Briefing Book
    This booklet is designed for mass printing and distribution to media, politicians, and the public.  It covers the federal "assault weapons" ban and debunks the myths behind the origin and effect.  Prints on two sheets, two sided, 8.5" X 14".  Kino's can produces these for pennies each.  Print, single fold, center staple.  Space is left to include your own contact information.
    Jury nullification and the 2nd Amendment
    One citizen on a jury can legally stop a bad gun law using nullification.  If a number of convictions are stopped citing violation of 2nd Amendment rights through nullification, then the law becomes void.  Read up and be ready to take a seat in the jury box.
    Yelling Fire
    The argument that "you cannot yell 'fire' in a crowded theater" as proof that there can be reasonable regulation of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is at best tortured, and if applied in reverse, is clearly fraudulent.  There is some interesting history behind this story - history that would make the ACLU cringe.
