POLICE LIEUTENANT GIVES JANET RENO STRONG MESSAGE 

The following is the finale of a speech given by Lieutenant Harry Thomas of the Cincinnati Police Department. It was subsequently published in a law  enforcement journal.

"Pass your gun laws, I will not beg the government for a license to continue to be a handgun owner. I will NOT submit to being fingerprinted, or photographed, or interrogated like a criminal for claiming my birthright as a free American. I will NOT REGISTER a single gun that I own. I will NOT SURRENDER a single gun that I own. I will NOT apply for an "arsenal" license because I own more than 20 guns or more than a thousand rounds of ammunition. I will NOT attend mandatory safety training, nor will I submit to a test to prove that I'm fit to be a gun owner." 

"And Miss Reno, I have this to say to you: If you send your jack-booted baby-burning bushwackers to confiscate my guns, pack them a lunch; it will be a damned long day. The Branch Davidians were amateurs; I'm a professional." 

"Patrick Henry, while addressing the Virginia House of Burgesses on March 23, 1775, put these concepts into words in a manner far better than I can ever hope to:

`Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!'"
