No gun control threat from ‘CeaseFire’

August 15, 2006
By Billy Dennis

Speaking of Bill Spears, I want to make something clear about the “CeaseFire” petition he is backing: It has nothing to do with gun control. I admit I was worried a bit. Any “stop the violence” organization coming out of Chicago has to be suspected of being involved in depriving folks of their Second Amendment rights. I did several Google searches for news stories and Web sites, and found nothing linking them to gun control legislation. I do understand they’ve been involved in voluntary turn-in-your-guns programs, which is a whole ‘nother story. They don’t work, because the guns that get turned in are often old and unusable anyway.
