Gun Control Opponents Rally Nationwide 
---------------------------------------


 
The New Mexico shooting came on the same day opponents of gun control
held rallies across the country to oppose the White House effort to
reform the nation's gun laws. At demonstrations in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, gun owners pilloried calls for stricter gun control.

Marvin Otterman: "No law put on law-abiding citizens has ever deterred
crime. Now they're going to take my gun, so I can get shot."

Tom Mabelitini: "My thoughts is, you can tell the left-wing, liberal
idiots there in Washington, and all of 'em, leave our guns alone. We're
not hurting anything. It's the criminals. Deal with the criminals, not
the law-abiding citizens."
