NEAL KNOX REPORT

                       Another Coincidence

                          By NEAL KNOX

     WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 1) -- On the eve of the elections,

with the crime bill ban on military-style guns a major issue in

dozens of close races, a quiet guy from Colorado shoots up the

White House.



     The gun was a Chinese-made SKS -- not on the crime bill's

banned list, but no longer legal to import, and illegally

converted (under the 1991 crime bill) by adding a folding stock

and high-capacity detachable magazine.



     It was almost predictable because these ill-timed -- some

would say perfectly timed -- incidents so often carry the exact

message that is currently highest on the anti-gun agenda.



     The press and Handgun Control Inc. are crowing that the

White House shooting shows "how right" those politically

threatened Congressmen were to ban so-called "assault weapons."



     Someone has said:  "Once is happenstance; twice is

coincidence; three times is enemy action."  



     In 1962, with Sen. Tom Dodd's mail order gun ban beginning

to move, President John F. Kennedy and a Dallas police officer

were killed with mail-ordered guns.



     The day the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on the Dodd

bill, two votes were changed -- and the bill came out -- because

Martin Luther King was murdered.  



     Two months later, the day the House was expected to kill the

bill, Sen. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated.  The bill became law.



     In 1984, with an armor-piercing bullet ban pending and

"Uzi's" under fire, James Huberty killed 21 at a San Ysidro

McDonald's -- armed with an Uzi rifle loaded with rare iron-cored

armor-piercing 9mm's (though most were killed by his shotgun).



     A couple of years later, Michael Ryan killed 16 people in

Hungerford, England with an AK-47S -- for which he had been

licensed unusually quickly and easily.  That resulted in a law

requiring owners to destroy such guns; required pump and semi-

auto shotguns to be arsenal-altered to two shots, and even

demanded registration of double-barrel shotguns.



     Exactly the same thing then happened, with similar results,

in Australia.



     In January 1989, with model "assault weapon" legislation

from HCI having been filed in several states, and with the

California Attorney General already having asked police for

evidence to support his planned "assault weapon" ban, Patrick

Purdey killed five kids and wounded 31 on a Stockton, Calif.

schoolyard, using an AK-47S.



     With the Senate scheduled to vote on an "assault weapons"

ban, Joseph Wesbecker killed 8 and wounded 14 with an AK-47S in a

Louisville printing plant, Sept. 14, 1989.



     When Lepine killed 14 women at a Canadian college with a

Ruger Mini-14 -- Canada's laws were further tightened.



     In 1990, with floor votes pending on semi-auto bills in both

houses of the U.S. Congress, a guy with a long criminal record,

one James Pough killed eight people at a Jacksonville, Fla., GMAC

office with a .30 M1 Carbine.



     On Oct. 16, 1991, the day before the U.S. House was

scheduled to vote on a bill banning "assault weapons" and over-

seven-shot magazines, JoJo Henard used 15 and 17-round pistols to

shoot 42 people, killing 21, in Killeen, Texas.



     There have been many other such cases -- as many as five

within a year -- each seeming to come at the best time for anti-

gunners to pass legislation by dancing in fresh blood.



      If the availability of military-style guns were the

culprit, we would have been seeing such mass murders regularly

throughout American history, for there's never been a time when

the Army smallarms from recent wars weren't common.



     The 30-shot M1 Carbine Pough used at the GMAC office has

been as common as Chevrolets for 51 years; high capacity 9mm

pistols have been plentiful for 60 years; AR-15's and AK-47S's

have been abundant for 20 to 30 years.  



     Why have almost all the horrible incidents with those guns

occurred within just the last ten years?



     Is it possible that some of those incidents could have been

created for the purpose of disarming the people of the free

world?  With drugs and evil intent, it's possible.



     Rampant paranoia on my part?  Maybe.  But there have been

far too many coincidences to ignore.
