Gun Control Fails Again
Disarmed citizens unprepared
For Immediate Release 2/14/05
Contact: Robert Kreisler, [email protected] 201-895-0033
The New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense wishes to express our sincere regrets to the victims of the Kingston NY shooting incident, and to remind citizens they should not judge 180 million American gun owners by these isolated incidents.
Every day that events like Kingston occur, there are an estimated 5479 other crimes successfully deterred nationwide by armed Americans who were prepared to defend life and limb with a firearm. For those of you who wonder if there just may be some bias against guns and self-defense in the media, kindly note that almost never are any of those 5479 daily instances where guns are used in self-defense reported in the newspaper.
This incident may well have been foiled, had a citizen been prepared to do so. However, the victims were unarmed, lulled into a sense of false security from decades of being told to rely on police for protection. However, the police we are told to rely upon for protection were not present to "protect and defend" for a reason. Police are law enforcement, not crime prevention. They can't be everywhere, and they’re not personal bodyguards.
For those of you who lament that we need more "gun control", please consider carefully what you wish for, because the defenseless citizens in Kingston just got it. This time the event was not terrorist related. Next time, small town America might not be so lucky. The NJCSD reminds you that our 2nd Amendment is America's original homeland security provision.

No seriously, it makes me sick that these anti gun groups just sit around waiting for something bad to happen so they can get a little face time in front of the press!!
