The following is the text of an advertisement for LCAV's June 29th 
demonstration in San Francisco:

[Headline] What do you call 6,000 kids with easy access to handguns?

[Headline] Dead.

Last year, 5,475 kids were shot to death, most of them with a handgun 
used to "protect" their homes. That's 15 kids a day.

It's more likely that your kid-- your sister's kid, your neighbor's 
kid-- will die from a gunshot wound than from all natural causes 
combined.

Worried about car accidents? Your kid has more chances of being shot to 
death than of dying in an auto wreck.

Know a depressed kid? Every day, six of them shoot themselves.

Recent surveys show that for every thousand kids in a school, fifty are 
packing guns with their lunches.

Forty-eight percent of high-school aged boys  surveyed said they know 
where to go to get a handgun.

According to gun manufacturers' trade mags, keeping up the present pace 
of shipping out a new weapon every 20 seconds "will necessitate our 
finding new markets to insure our survival and prosperity."

[Boldface type]	We need to stop this insanity.

And we can.

How?

Speak up, and join your voice with the thousands of sane thinking 
people who are working both through public education to dispel the myth 
that guns make us safer, and through legislation to insure that the 
interests of fa
milies and communities will take precedence over the goals of gun 
manufacturers.

[Large, bold type]	 Speak your mind.  Walk the talk.  Join The March.

			The California Street March - June 29, 12 Noon.
			From Grace Cathedral to the Embarcadero
