I have attempted to give full credit, but I know I have missed a few hundred names...

Personal note:

I was never "anti-gun", but, before 1991, I actually supported many of the "gun control" strategies. I now know that I did so out of ignorance. Since then I have read everything I could -- and more than I could ever remember -- on the subject of "gun control".

I now have a growing library of reference material, a mailing list dedicated to firearm legislation in Canada, World-Wide Web pages which I maintain in parallel with an FTP site, and I got involved with the NFA (National Firearms Association) because I saw many of our ideas and goals were similar. Like a lot of people in this debate, I "got sucked right in" and there is no end in sight.
