Subject: ACLU/ICLU commission on 2nd meets!
Date: 3 Aug 93 15:18:31 GMT

I announced on this newsgroup several months back that the
Indiana Civil Liberties Union (a state affiliate of the ACLU)
had formed a commission to develop a policy regarding the
2nd Amendment.  I am happy to report that we held our first
meetin this past Saturday, 31 July.  Five of the seven members 
were in attendance and we have divvied up the responsibility
for the final report.  I will be working on the sociological
and public health analysis.  Other areas of analysis are:
constitutional law, historical, and philosophical.

I would like to solicit from readers/contributors to this
group information pro and con on matters of guns and violence,
guns and suicide, guns and crime prevention, and any other 
related matter that  bears on the societal impact of gun
availability.

This is your chance to have an input into a policy that may have
a major political impact.  I am on the state board of the ICLU
and I can assure you that, unlike National ACLU which has
spinelessly refused to address this issue, we will do so, let
the chips fall where they may.
