Al Gore claims that one quarter ot firearms murders are committed by
young people ages 18 to 20 years old.
- The Vice President claimed that 18-year olds should not be
legally allowed to purchase a handgun. He was unaware that it is already
illegal for a licensed dealer to sell someone a handgun until he is 21.
- The Justice Department study on Urban Delinquency
and Substance Abuse of March, 1994 shows that among young people
who have been given a gun by their parents, there are ZERO crimes
committed with a gun. Gun crimes by youth are committed by those who
illegally obtain the "forbidden fruit."
- Vote against the two Hyde amendments banning purchase of
handguns and possession of semi-automatic rifles until age 21.
- Please vote "NO" on final passage of H.R. 2122. GOA will rate
this vote.
