EDITORIAL MATTERS
PUBLISHER'S NOTE:
Elsewhere in this issue, I have written about the fear some people
have today of Muslims immigrating to America. The article speaks for
itself.
While I was writing it, I had a thought that didn't quite fit in,
is too short for its own essay, but which I didn't want to leave
unvoiced.
It is this:
Misters Colt, Smith, Wesson, or Ruger may have been Americans,
born and bred, but a great many of our "liberty teeth" are immigrants
themselves, often forbidden to the people living in the lands of their
origin.
Your favorite "life preserver" may be Italian, a Beretta, even an
Uberti. The Tanfoglios I love are Italian copies of the Czech CZ-75.
It may be Austrian, a Glock. If it's an H&K or a SIG, it's German or
Swiss. If it's a Tokarev or a Makarov, an AK-47 or SKS, it's Russian,
or possibly a Chinese knockoff. If it's a CZ-52, it's from the Czech
Republic. Stars, Astras, and Llamas are from Spain. Taurus and Rossi
are Brazilian. The Kahr is manufactured in America by the family of
Korea's Reverand Sun Myung Moon. And there are zillions -- tens of
zillions -- of Hungarian, Bulgarian, Belgian, and Polish weapons
scattered all over the one country in the world that truly appreciates
them.
It's said there are over 750,000,000 firearms "of modern design in
good working order" in America. I say let's be real internationalists
in the truest meaning of that often abused word and make it an even
billion.
