    Alright, boys and girls; you've had your B's and G's and now 
it is time to put your effort and money where your mouth has 
been.
 
     Mr. Marc Halcon of San Diego (CA) Firearms Academy has announced 
a Constitutional Challenge to the Omnibus Crime Bill and the 
Brady Bill. He is bringing suit against Attorney General Janet 
Reno and the United States of America. The following is a summary 
of the Constitutional Challenges:
 
     a.   Second Amendment (right to keep and bear arms)
 
     b.   Article I, Section 1 (i.e., unconstitutional delegation
          of legislative power to the executive branch)
 
     c.   Fifth Amendment:
          1.   taking of property without just compensation
          2. due process (i.e., vague, over-broad)
 
     d.   Article I, Section 8 (i.e., no legislative authority)
 
     e.   Article I, Section 8 (i.e., no power to regulate under 
          interstate commerce clause)
 
     f.   Ninth Amendment:
          1.   implied right to self defense, defense of family,
               and defense of property
          2.   natural right to self defense, defense of family,
               and defense of property
 
     g.   Tenth Amendment (i.e., interference with state power)
 
     Mr. Halcon's attorney, Mr. Peter D. Lepiscopo can be reached 
at  (619)  440-1703, or faxed at (619)  440-2532.  Mr.  Lepiscopo 
today said that he has set up a trust account administered by the 
California  Bar Association to accept donations for  this  cause.
