[Peace-discuss] could we get Rep. Rodney Davis to support somereasonable gun control measures?

[David Johnson]

Excuse me Bob,

but I thought this was the Peace Discuss list against war and corporate 
imperial aggresion,
 NOT gun control / disarmament of the Working class list !

Sincerely, with all due respect to your excellent work in support of justice 
in Palestine / Israel.

David Johnson
