Show The Paper That Dares To Take A May 8, 1975 The Utah Independent Page 9 Stand NATIONAL RIFLE AASSOCIATION THE IMPENDING MONETARY CRISIS by V. Hughes Continued from page 2 Thats right movements to take away police When the Arabs find they cannot spend their surplus dollar credits to substantial interests in buy American businesses, or foreign for that matter, and that must be becoming apparent to them about now where will they dump their dollars? We are perched on an open barrel of gasoline with an Arab approaching with a Fourth of July sparkler. When not if the Arabs start their rush out of dollars and into gold, then the panic will have begun the monetary panic. Gold and silver are specified in the divinely inspired Constution as the only legal tender the only lawful money yet some poor souls are still railing against monetary metals. We are like a time bomb with minutes left on the clock all is still wellr-b- ut what will the future bring? All during our slide into the present mess you have been barraged by the establishment with obvious tripe about the risks of investing in gold and silver, yet those smart enough to close out the sounds of establishment have been making money hand over fist on gold and silver and the equities thereof. Twas ever thus. Only a minority make money because a majority do not (notice I did not say cannot) think for themselves. People continue to favor mechanics who cannot keep their own car running well; doctors who cannot maintain their own health; financial experts who are not rich! Those of you w ho must yet listen to friends and neighbors who do not see the danger of 100 billion dollar deficits being financed thru the printing presses, must prepare to feed those same friends and neighbors one day soon. I grew up in the depression listening to poor perachers rant against the evils of money, only to pass the hat at the end of the sermon. 1 have long believed many to of the poor are be poor. Some of that is now very much in evidence. Ranging against the monetary metals while claiming to respect the Constitution, is a little like professing to believe the Bible ed while eating pork. No tax dollar ever returned tact from a round trip to in- weapons are very real. In New York City, important city officials have publicly advocated that all firearms be taken from the citys patrolmen. In 1973 the occurrence of violent crime increased 23. Throughout our country a crime of violence, like murder, robbery, assault or rape, occurred once every 36 seconds in 1973. This means that in 1973 over 869,460 men, women, children or elderly persons fell victims to thieves and hoodlums. Our courts have done little to protect us. The fact is that 65 of the criminals released from for new crimes within four years. prison are Oftentimes the criminal is back on the street before his victim is recovered enough to leave the hospital. Tell me, what would the crime rate be if the criminals knew our police were unarmed or a store owner or private home owner could not legally own a gun to protect his re-arres- ted property? I dont believe we can sit back and allow the Gun people in this country to pass laws that Confiscation would set the stage for the most terrifying crime wave ever to occur in modern history. The Gun Confiscation people tell us that: Gun Control means Crime Control. They say: All we have to do is take all the guns from all the citizens and violent crime will automatically stop. 1 dont believe it. If this solution to the terrible suffering and pain caused by violent crimes in our country would work, I would be for total control of guns. But it just isnt that simple. You and I know that laws are obeyed by the good, sue. Write a letter directly to your U.S. Senators (co Senate Office Building. Washington, D.C. 205 10) and tell them how you feel on this issue of your private safety.

All of this is why I need your personal help today. I need your opinion so that I can take your case, our case, to the legislators voting on these laws. Thats why we are conducting this National Survey of Americans, so we can tell our side of the gun control issue to the State and Federal Legislators. The situation is extremely serious. In the last election 27 Congressmen who supported private ownership of At the same time every firearms were defeated. legislation was reCongressman who sponsored anti-gu- n elected. Right now there are 51 different bills before Congress restricting the ownership of firearms. Many states in the Union have bills in their State Legislatures to restrict private gun ownership. We cannot sit back and wait. You and I cannot afford to have laws passed that will give criminals control of our homes and neighborhoods, without any fear of punishment. I have set every available resource at the National Rifle Association into this important fight. The cost is over $40,000 each month. This includes detailed research, information services and expert legal advice. You may have heard the National Rifle Association referred to as a large, extremely rich, private interest group by the liberal press. This is simply not so. Our million member organization barely has the funds to support our sporting activities like the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team and Training Programs. We are not rich. And our interest is not private. Our fight is for the protection of you, your family and all other Americans. decent, I am not used to writing letters like this. But I do need your financial support to help pay the important legal expenses needed to defend Americans rights to protect their homes from criminals and their right to own and use sporting firearms.

That is about four times the amount spent for the same purpose last year. I opposed the bill on the grounds that if foreigners were not interested enough to learn to speak English on their own time and money they could speak their own language or get out of the country.
