Those searching for Purtilo's work on firearms and civil rights should look for it at myguns.net which will also have the latest developments in Maryland. That site contains reprints of articles from Tripwire newsletter, and also information about MPFO (Marylanders for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.)
You can get technical information on firearms at recguns.net, the FAQ site for the net news group called "rec.guns" at which Purtilo serves as Moderator.
Information on our study of the quality of information in sites such as Wikipedia (including our examples concerning Dr. John Lott) are found HERE, under the title "To REALLY lie, you need a computer - and wikipedia."
Preferred quote: "I am not robbed by people who have more money than I. I am robbed by a government that wants to penalize my industry and give increasing portions of what I earn to people who do not emulate my principles, morals and ethics... We once taught our young people the virtues of hard work, saving, personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions, chastity before and fidelity and commitment in marriage, honesty, integrity and virtue-not to mention the Ten Commandments (especially the one about not coveting that which belongs to your neighbor). We now teach them entitlement, victimhood, class envy and rights to other people's money." -Cal Thomas
