******************************************** Additional Text for the 10/27/04 Alumni Sandstorm ******************************************** >>From: Lora Homme Page ('60) RE: R. H. ('53WB) email I'm not sure why, but I received an e-mail from R.H. ('53WB) regarding the gun control discussion going on in the Alumni Sandstorm at my home rather than through the Sandstorm. Since he chose not to address me publicly, I will respect his desire to remain anonymous and use only his initials. He made some strange statements and accusations that don't make a lot of sense to me but I decided that I'd better clear up a couple things just in case anyone else out there is thinking along those lines. Not once have I ever supported free public access to military-type assault weapons and I'm certainly NOT plotting the violent overthrow of the Government! To the contrary, I'm advocating the preservation of our ability to defend ourselves AND our government, which, last time I looked, was still the greatest example of democracy in action the world has ever seen. I certainly hope that this eases your mind, R. H., sorry that I upset you. -Lora Homme Page ('60) - The only good gun is a dead gun.. or something. ********************************************
