I've modified my "I Ain't Marching Any More" desertion leaflet to include
the following BEAUTIFUL quote from HCI spokesman Joseph D. McNamara.
"Wealthy executives and Hollywood celebrities should have guns." Thank
you, Mr. McNamara. Your friends at HCI are going to be wearing that
albatross for a long time if I get my way.

"As much as I oppose the average person's having a gun, I recognize that
some people have a legitimate need to own one. A wealthy corporate
executive who fears his family might get kidnapped is one such person. A
Hollywood celebrity who has to protect himself from kooks is another. If
Sharon Tate had had access to a gun during the Manson killings, some
innocent lives might have been saved." -- Joseph D. McNamara (San Jose, CA
ex-Police Chief, and HCI spokesman), Safe and Sane (book) ,1984, p. 71-72.
-- William A. Levinson
