You should recheck yours. Fascism and Nazism are variations
upon socialism. Very leftist.

DN>Bob —
DN>PLEASE let us know how this went! I’m sure that everyone would like to

Since I was asked:
At one o’clock KVI 570 AM (Seattle) presented HCI to Western
Washington. I guess the background is the “alleged confidential memo”
appeared on the Internet sometime yesterday. KVI, always on the prowl,
received copies of the “alleged confidential memo” from two sources and
broke the story. Today’s show was designed to allow HCI a forum to
refute/rebut the contents of the “alleged confidential memo.”
HCI was given about 40 minutes of air time. The questioning went like
this:
KVI: HCI totally disavows this memo?
HCI: Correct.
KVI: Does HCI want to ban the private ownership of handguns?
HCI: The legislation we want doesn’t preclude ownership; we
endorse restrictions. We want to reduce gun violence through common
sense legislation.
KVI: What about the 2nd Amendment?
HCI: No right is absolute. (Spokesperson then read 2A up to the
comma).
KVI: Well then, if the Founders meant RKBA for the Militia, why
didn’t they continue using the term Militia instead of People?
HCI: < Quick side step. >
KVI: What do you think of this “alleged confidential memo?”
HCI: <Said with moral indignation and near outrage> “Silly.”
“Outlandish fantasy.” This memo is causing HCI to devote time to
defending itself rather than saving lives.
KVI: I won’t believe this memo isn’t from your organization until
you sue the originators of the hoax for defamation.
HCI: Well, we can’t find out who originated it because it came
from the Internet. But it’s a hoax.
KVI: You support raising fees for FFLs?
HCI: Yes. Everyone should pay the same rate no matter whether you
are a “mom ‘n’ pop” gun seller or a million dollar retail chain. No
guns should be sold outside of a retail establishment. Paying a $1,000
fee is the cost of doing business.
After that exchange, KVI had Alan Gottlieb (my apologies if I bungled
the name) of the 2nd Amendment Foundation on the air for about 15
minutes. Mr. Gottlieb did a pretty good job of making HCI sound like
advocates of “hidden agendas.” Mr. Gottlieb illustrated his point by
saying something like:
HCI always sounds reasonable in public. But their court documents
ALWAYS argue there is no right to private ownership of any
firearms. They always act one way publicly and another in Court.
Finally, KVI ended the hour with a rant against development of
public policy via manipulative tactics. The thrust of the rant was if
a group is going to argue something, put the idea(s) before the American
people and DEBATE the MERITS of the idea(s).
A pretty good hour: HCI in a fluster; its sincerity and integrity in
question — ’bout time the shoe was on the other foot ….
