5. Read Gun Week

``EVERY GOOD AND EXCELLENT THING STANDS MOMENT BY MOMENT ON THE RAZOR
EDGE OF DANGER AND MUST BE FOUGHT FOR.'' Thornton Wilder.

	Lack of information can be dangerous to you and your gun
rights.  The general media do not do an adequate job of giving an
objective description of gun-related events and statistics. Whether
it's the federal scene, or states and cities, there is no other way to
get the crucial information as fast as subscribing to a publication
dedicated to firearms information.

	If you didn't hear about a gun control proposal in Congress
until your local paper reported the outcome of a Congressional vote,
then you haven't been reading Gun Week. Gun Week keeps you posted on
what the gun control lobby is doing before it is too late for you to
do something. Regular reports from Washington DC keeps you up to date
on federal issues, but Gun Week also reports on what is happening at
state capitals around the country. Every week Gun Week tells you what
you need to know to protect your gun rights.

	Regular hunting reports are also a valuable part of your Gun
Week subscription. Deer, elk, turkey, bear, waterfowl, upland birds,
small game--Gun Week covers all the seasons. Most importantly, Gun
Week covers the seasons on a regional and local level. When deer
season in Pennsylvania looks terrific, elk hunting in Colorado looks
so-so, or Michigan has just issued new hunting regulations, you'll
read about it in Gun Week.

	Gun Week's new product reviews evaluate new outdoor products
before you shell out your hard-earned money. Every week you can read
reports about new clothing, handguns, rifles, sights, knives, powders,
ammunition and anything that can make you a better hunter or shooter.
Gun Week is also the first and best place to look for important
product recalls that increase your safety.

	Gun Week has been leading the media pack on industry news as
well.  Do you know about the metallurgical problems with the M-9
pistol, or the FBI's struggles to adopt a new semi-automatic, or the
troubles at Glock? If none of this sounds familiar then you haven't
been reading Gun Week.

	A year's subscription costs $32.00, just $.64 per issue, which
is probably less than the cup of coffee you get at the local diner.
And there is no risk of disappointment; if you are not 100% satisfied
you will be promptly refunded for unmailed issues--no questions asked,
no hard feelings. You simply can't go wrong. In fact, you will
probably wonder how you ever got along without it.

	A few years ago, one of Rep. Charles Schumer's Brooklyn
constituents bought him a gift subscription to Gun Week. Schumer was
so upset that he wrote back, and asked to have the subscription
canceled.

	Most Congresspeople, however, are not as frightened of open
debate as Rep. Schumer is. A trial subscription sent to your Senator,
or State Representative, or City Councilwoman probably won't turn them
into NRA Life Members. But it may show some of them a new perspective.

	And just maybe, some college intern in the office will read
Gun Week with an open mind, and come to some new conclusions about the
right to bear arms.
