Peaceable Texans

for Firearms Rights

We are a grassroots politically active group that began as a rally at the Texas State Capitol on President's Day, 1994, and we have been active ever since. We are citizens who are tired of the continual, piecemeal destruction of the right to own--and use--firearms and are doing something about it.

Ever wonder why some people want the US out of the UN? Well, here is one reason: The UN is using our tax dollars to do everything it can to push for gun prohibtion among the nations of the world. Here's a shot of the UN in New York City, taken from the November, 1999, issue of the New American Magazine:

Have you ever wanted to pin Sarah Brady down on something she has said so you could prove she is a liar? This is the first lengthy quote of hers we have been able to obtain, so here's your chance! One volunteer laboriously transcribed this speech which she delivered in Austin in October of 1994; we put it here for your general use.

"All the law enforcement agencies in the country asked for help on the assault weapons ban. So I supported it." - President Clinton, Speech at the Univ. of Montana, May 31, 1995. This just goes to show that Clinton lies about much more than sex. In fact, when it comes to guns, you cannot trust anything the man says. Remember hearing how every law enforcement organization in the nation supported the ban on "assault weapons?" Well, the fact is that many major police organizations came out in opposition to Clinton's gun ban; it's just that the news media failed to report it. Here's a list you never saw the news media publish.

President Clinton often uses "photo-op cops" to give the impression that police support his gun control schemes like the Brady Bill. Here are two actual police surveys that show quite the opposite: SSPBA and NACOP. This is yet another example of how the news media not only failed to report the truth, but has assisted an anti-gun politician in mis-representing the truth.

Hollywood movies often portray guns doing things that are impossible; here's a collection of examples of why so many people hold such stupid ideas about guns--because they believe what they see in the movies!

Gun control laws have racist roots. There have been quite a few law review articles and books that discuss how the first gun control laws in this country were used to keep blacks unarmed and servile. Example. You can find even more at http://www.2ndLawLib.org/

Here's an interesting "Web Page for The Armed Liberal."

"You are a bunch of RIGHT WING NAZI GUN NUTS." We have heard this accusation thrown at us many times. This type of accusation is ironic because the Nazis were the ones who used gun control laws to disarm the German public and consolidate all power in the hands of Hitler's government; precisely the danger we argue is the reason we want an armed populace: to protect our freedoms from the government. If the term "Nazi" applies to anyone, it is those who push for gun control. For example, the first major federal gun control law in this nation, the 1968 Gun Control Act (GCA), was copied, some parts verbatim, from the Nazi's Weapon Law of 1938! There is a book published by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) that documents this fact by setting forth the full texts of both Hitler's gun control law and our own 1968 GCA.

Want to see proof that firearms are used over 2 million times each year to stop crimes? Here is an interview with the author of the study that is the source for that statistic. He discusses how he got the numbers he got. The study itself was recently published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, Vol. 86 (1995).

One company makes money publishing books summarizing gun laws for lay people. Anyone who thinks that guns are not regulated enough has no clue as to the mountain of law that we gun owners have to worry about complying with, (most of which have no impact on criminals either).
