In a Jan. 13 letter to the editors of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Lois Goulder suggested that John Ashcroft endosed a right-to-carry referendum which will make it possible for convicted criminals to carry concealed firearms. It's people like Toby Hoover (see below) who convince people of this silly mentality when it comes to right to carry reform laws... You can find the rebuttal right here and the original above. (or Read on for the text of the rebuttal) The Cleveland Plain Dealer editors have the power to edit such letters -- So why don't they remove the lies?

Ashcroft, NRA don’t advocate guns for criminals Wednesday, January 17, 2001 In the Jan. 13 letter to the editor "Sen. Voinovich should oppose Ashcroft bid," Lois Goulder stated that John Ashcroft supported a right-to-carry referendum "that would have allowed the carrying of concealed handguns by convicted criminals." This is completely false. Background checks would have been required before any permit was issued. Besides, criminals already carry concealed handguns in Ohio and around the country. Criminals have no respect for the law, including gun laws. They are cowards. They want to prey on helpless victims who will not harm them. What they do respect is an armed citizen who could stop their crimes. Right-to-carry laws have lowered crime across this country, and Ashcroft should be applauded for his trust in the people of Missouri on this issue. Sen. George Voinovich should support his nomination. MATTHEW WILLING |
