CALIFORNIA:  Two Dangerous Anti-Gun Bills Still Alive in Sacramento <http://www.ilaalerts.org/UM/T.asp?A1.2.5341.18.4945467>   The State Legislature will return from recess on Monday, August 17, and may soon take up two anti-gun bills, Assembly Bill 962 and Senate Bill 585.  AB962 would make it a crime to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month, even between family and friends, unless you are registered as a “handgun ammunition vendor” in the Department of Justice’s database.  AB962 would also require fingerprinting for all sales, and ban on-line ammunition purchases.  SB585 would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace, a stepping stone toward banning gun shows on all private property in California.  It is imperative that you stand-up and respectfully make your voices heard!  Please contact your State Senator and respectfully urge them to oppose AB962 and please contact your Assemblymember and ask that they vote to defeat SB585.  Contact information can be found here <http://www.ilaalerts.org/UM/T.asp?A1.2.5341.19.4945467> .

An African village’s armed self defense story
Eric Puryear

Earlier this year, self defense enabled a village in the war torn Congo to save itself against brutal rebels.

The Congo (an African county that borders Sudan), is in the midst of a long and bloody civil war. A powerful Ugandan rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army, is especially known for brutality and torture.  That rebel group goes from town to town, and often sends torture victims from a town they have already sacked to the next town as a grim warning.  The town of Bangadi received such a warning, including a man whose back had been sliced up with a machete, and warned that the rebels would soon arrive.  Upon hearing the news, the small police force fled the town, and neither the Congo military or the UN responded to the villagers pleas for help.  After two weeks of begging for help that was not forthcoming, the villagers realized they had to defend themselves:

Their community leader called a town meeting, and told everyone to bring whatever weapons they owned.  People showed up with rifles made before World War II, homemade shotguns, bows and poison arrows, knives, and even the wooden pestles that are used to pound yams into flour.  Using these weapons, the villagers drove off two attacks by the rebels, saving themselves from torture and death.  Perhaps best of all, not a single civilian was killed in the first repulsed attack.  Compare that with the hundreds of people who the rebels had killed in the previous weeks when they attacked other villages.  Hearing the news, hundreds of other villages have reportedly formed self defense groups.
