European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 6, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Friday november 6,1887 columns Post a handguns saved by Era b Artruc Vald on certain lavs everything comes up roses. Ii happened to me when in was revealed that the National Rifle association managed in lobby the Justice department into Wilh Dwing legislation thai would bar plastic handgun. This was a Gin from inc Blue because up until then jus lice was supporting bans on plastic handguns. I know what you re aiding. How could the american people have been so Lucky it was nol Luck bul common sense that forced the Justice department attorneys into bed will Honra. First you must understand what a plastic gun does. It has a minimum Nam Cal which allows it to pass through Metal Detector machines. While just As easy to shoot us a rectal one in is much lighter to carry under ouf coat. Law abiding citizens will be Able to carry a plastic gun Ohio a plane Wilhour it being selected. 11 n he perfect weapon to slash in your car or by your bedside. No one but a bleeding heart Pinko could have any objections to plastic guns joining this Nat Ion s great Arsenal of handguns. The Coward May ask Why do we need in when we have so Many guns on the Market we need it because every weapon we sell to he civilian population is one More blow to inc criminal elements that walk the streets. The National Rifle association which has no a to grind in this dispute insists that the Banning of plastic guns will be Iii mat Icv to Aiu Isar Riding Africa the word is Gui that the m us Gers and stick up men would like nothing More than to ban anything made of plastic including bullets which arc now Legal. The Belling in Washington is thai whatever the other Side a Temps the Era will prevail. This is not necessarily be cause the Era is right but because it s Rich. Who do we have to thank for saving the plastic guns we so desperately need it is none other than attorney general de a desc. He is a Good Friend of All gun people and came to their Aid when it locked like a ban on plastic gun s was going to become a fact. When de realized whal was going on he immediately pulled the Hill which was headed to the White House for approval. Not since the handgun Siat Etc in Florida went into effect earlier this year has there been so much Joy among gun owners in America. Thanks Loed Mcnese s decision the Era can hang an other Coons i n on the Wall. Whal makes this Victory particularly Sweet is that inc Era managed id win when so Many people including Law Confor Cmunt agencies Ami scr Aorist group and Many cilia in groups were against in. So what does the Era Hope to gel out of allowing plastic weapons on the Market the answer is absolutely nothing. The Era always involves itself m Good causes provided they have something to do with the biggest bang for a Buck. It does t matter if in is an automatic pistol or a chinese silkworm missile inc american people have a right to Bear arms. Frankly the plastic gun is not the Issue. The Issue is if the plastic gun is banned today whal gun will be banned tomorrow As a gun Lover you May be asking what you Tan do to make sure they Don l take our plastic weapons away. First Grilc Loed Mccase and thank him for stopping the Bill Send Money to inc Era to support congressional and senatorial candidates who support nil of us. There Are a lot of votes for sate on Capitol Hill for pro gun legislation. There is nothing inc other Side won t do to Stop our plastic weapons from being sold Over the coun Ter or in the airline terminal Novelty  do we have to thank for saving the plastic  Novelty store lha 10io ngn0,t,Tj lbs just can t woke up America  Roomey bumbling Charm bul he could t handle the time and the longest running failure in television history ii had no presence on camera. By and Rodne the lbs morning show called by various names Over the years. I am somewhat of an expert on the subject having worked at a writer on a show which was until nine months ago the worst in the series. Once again lbs is conceding Mcfeal with is show featuring Marielle Hartley and Holland Smith. The network is turning its morning broadcast Back to the news division from which in was taken last january. It s a mystery Why lbs has never been Able to com Pete with Abc or Abc in the morning because Over inc years a lot of lain cd people have occupied its morning show chairs. The network has irid Jack Paar Dick Van Dyke. Waller Cronkite John Hart Hughes Rudd Sally Ouinn. Lesley Stahl Richard  Charles Kii Rall Diane Sawyer. Bill Kurtis Phyllis George Bob Schieffer. Forrest Sawyer Maria Shaver and Faith Daniels among others. The show i wrote Tor was called Good morning with will Rogers jr.," and it was terrible. Rogers the son of the great humorist had a certain amount of bumbling had no presence on camera. Having someone who knows How to handle Lime with presence is one secret to the Success of a morning show. If the person on camera takes charge and direct he course the show lakes in can be successful. He or she tins 10 be Able to till casual time in a Way thai holds an audience. If the people on camera Are puppets a network cannot assemble enough competent siring pullers or ventriloquists to make them successful. People Aren l after much in the morning. They Aren t changing channels. They like the companionship of a live television set thai in i demanding anything of them. They Are More interested in the appearance and personality of the hosts of inc show than they Are in any informal Ion or entertainment being broadcast. Chances Are they re Reading their newspaper and hav ing breakfast Ai the same time. Now lbs has hired the smart and Beautiful Kathleen Sullivan formerly with Abc for its neat morning Effort.
