Hi. Im Erik Zelman. I thought upBrasco so that we could reach outto everyone and tell them how gunsafety can be fun, and how the gov-ernment today abuses our rights.

I am only eleven years old, and I am

worried that I will never know thefreedom that my Dad knew growingup in the Arizona desert.

I hope all of you like Brasco. Makehim part of your family, and do allyou can to share his message with asmany people as you can.

A lot of people say Do it for the chil-dren. In my opinion, the best gift

adults can give to us kids is a futurebased on liberty. I hope you agreewith me.

Bis for BURGLARS and BANDITS Burglars and Bandits are Bad people who should be

punished for the bad things they do. They lie, steal,

and hurt people.

Brasco Buddies are good

people. We dont lie, steal, or

hurt people. We dont talk

back to our parents, and we

never touch a real gun

unless our parents allowus to.

C is for CONTROL Gun Control is whathappens when the people who run a country dont

trust the people who live in that country. The people in

charge take away the other peoples guns so no one

can do or say anything the government doesnt like.

Brascos cousins are suffering from Gun Control.

Cousin Browniein Canada hasno Bill of Rights

to guarantee she

will be able toprotect herself.

Cousin Koalain Australia has

no rightsguaranteeing

his right todefend himself

against hisgovernment.

Cousin Pandain China

suffers underCommunism a kindof government where

people are slavesto the military and

government criminals.

Dis for DIALING Sometimes dialing 9-1-1can be useless! Didyou know the police dont have toanswer your call for help?1The police cant alwaysshow up to stop a criminal as soon as you call. Parents

who love their children protect them and do not rely onthe police. Your parents guns are goodto protect youfrom badpeople, but you must never touch a real gunwithout your parents permission.

Eis for EYES and EARS Ear protectorsarevery important when you are shooting. Very loud

noise is bad for your hearing. Brasco Buddies always

wear hearing protection when they go shooting with an

adult. It is thesmart thing to do. Eyeprotection is

another good idea.

Fis for FIREARMS can be FUN When you follow the rules of firearm safety, shooting at

targets or hunting with an adult can be

fun. Brasco and his father are care-ful to point the muzzles of their

rifles in a safe direction

at all times.

G is for GUNSMITH A Gunsmith knowshow to make guns, and keep them working safely.

Gunsmiths are important because they have special

skills. They can machine, polish and color metal parts.

They can shape wood to fit perfectly to the metal parts

of your parents gun. Gunsmiths developed the guns

that American pioneers and soldiers used to keep

America free.

Ask your parents to take you to visit a gunsmith. If you

bringan empty brass cartridge case,maybe the gunsmith

will polish it for

you.

His for HISTORY Brasco Buddies learntheir history. You must know the story of the past, so youwont make the same mistakes in the future. Here is ahistory lesson everyone should know:

On April 19, 1775, British soldiers told the Americancolonists to give up their guns and ammunition, but theAmericans were smart and said No. A battle started

between the British and the Americans.This is how gun control started theAmerican Revolution.

Today Americans are beingtold to give up their gunsagain. And again, theyhaveto say No!

10/24

I is for INJUSTICE An injustice is when

something is wrong,

or unfair. Putting

people in prison for

no good reason is an

injustice.

J is for JAPANESE

The Japanese government,with the help of bad people inAmerica, want to take awayyour right to own and enjoyguns. They tell people that

America should be

more like Japan,where the peoplecant own guns.They dont tell peo-ple that in Japan,people can be held

in prison withoutfood or water untilthey confess tocrimes they didntcommit.

11/24

Kis for Gun Control KILLSKIDSEvil politicians have passed laws that make schoolsunsafe. Your parents are not allowed to carry a gunnear a school to protect you from bad people.

This bad law makes it possible forbad people to hurt oreven kill you. Somegovernment officialsand evil politiciansreally like this law.

Lis for LAWS Some laws are good.Laws that tell people to

stop at a stop sign, ordont drive through a red

stop light are good

laws. Lawsthat dont

allow goodpeople to protectthemselves and theirchildren against bad

people are bad laws.Gun Control is a badlaw.

Brascos lever-actionrifle lobs lots of lead atoutlaws.

Mis for MURDER Brasco Buddies alwayssay no to murder, because they care for and respectothers. Murder is very, very bad. It happens when badpeople intentionally kill other people. This is absolutely

forbidden by our Creator.You may only kill people in self-defense, if they arecoming to kill you or someone else.Never let anyone try to confuse you about murder andkilling. Make sure you tell your teachers and parents if

you hear angry

people talkingabout killing ormurderingpeople.


13/24

Ois for OURRIGHTS.Our rights existedbefore our government came intobeing. A privilege iswhat a government allows you to have. Aprivilege can be taken away. But aright cannot be taken away, ifyou fight tokeep it.

Our Bill of Rights

is a list of therights Americanshad before ourgovernment wasaccepted by thepeople. Today, badpeople work to

destroy the Bill ofRights.

Celebrate Bill of RightsDay every December 15th*,because the Bill of Rights iswhat allows you to cele-

brate any religious holidayyou want. What kind ofparty will you have tocelebrateyour Bill of Rights?

*December 15th, 1791was the daythe Bill of Rights was ratified.

Nis for NOOther Country but the United Statesof America has a Bill of Rights

Pis for PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE Do you know what the words of thePledge of Allegiance mean?I pledge allegiance means I

promise my love and devotion,To the flag means to the symbolof my country,Of the United means we have all come together,States are the 50 individual parts of our country,Of America means all of us.

Qis for QUARTERING Quartering meansto have someone living in your house and eating yourfood who is not a member or guest of your family.

In colonial America, two hundred years ago, Britishtroops were quartered in private houses. They took thebest beds and the best food. Sometimes they madenoise and were messy and rude to the people whoowned the houses. That is why the Third Right in the Billof Rights says: No Soldier shall, in time of peace, be

quartered in any house,without the consent of theOwner, nor in time ofwar, but in a mannerto be prescribed bylaw.

13 thirteen XII


16/24

Ris for RACISM Brasco Buddies do notsupport racism.

Racism means not liking someone just because of thecolorof theirskin, orthe country they came from.

In America, Gun Control laws were started to preventblack people from owning guns.

Gun Control is racist, and people who support GunControl must be toldthat they support racist policies.

Good people are not racist.

Ask your parents to read the Granpa Jack booklet GunControl Is Racist.

Sisfor SAFETY Brasco Buddies believe inSafety First Safety Always.

Safety meansyou alwaysmake sure a gun isunloadedbefore you look at it.Safety meansyou never pointthe muzzle at a person.

Safety meansyou alwaysknow where the bullet isgoingto go before you shoot.

Safety meansyou alwayswear eye and ear protectionwhen you go shooting.

15 fifteen XV

Tis for TRIGGER The trigger firesthe gun. Another importantpartofsafety is always keeping your fingeroff the trigger until you have thegun aimed

atthetarget, andknow exactlywhere the bulletis going.


18/24

U is for UNITEDNATIONS The UnitedNations is a very bad organization made up of foreign

countries who do not want youtobe free.

The United Nations doesnt like yourBill of Rights, and they are trying todestroy freedom in America.

Brasco Buddies aresmart and they

dont believe the lies ofthe United Nations. If youbelieve the things theUnited Nations tells you,youwill never know thefun of a gun.

Vis for VETERAN Veterans are peoplewho helped their country by serving in the Army, Air

Force, Coast Guard, Navy or Marine Corps. Veterans

fought to keep America free. Many died so we can live

in freedom. Brasco Buddies respect veterans and thank

them for all that they did.

Ask your parents to take you to visit a veteran. Perhaps

some of your parents or grandparents

are veterans!

Wis for WASHINGTONGeorge Washington was the firstPresident of the United States.

He would be sad today if he saw how

our hard-won liberties are beingdestroyed by evil politicians

and the dangerous UnitedNations.

Brasco Buddies can make PresidentWashington happy by telling other

kids howthey are being lied to. Showthem this storybook.

Brasco Buddies are smart. Theyalways preferfreedom overslavery.

18 eighteen XVIII

Xis for X-RINGThe X-Ring is the center of thetarget. Brasco checks hismarksmanship by aiming atthe X-Ring. Excellent!


21/24

Yis for YOUNGKIDS Young kids,properlytrained to use firearms safely, can help protecttheir families.

13-year-old Jarrod Barnes of Tulsa, Oklahoma, probably

saved his life and the lives of his three younger brotherswhen he shot an intruder in their home.2

17-year-old Darren Yakunovich of Kipton, Ohio caught aburglar who had stolen things from Darrens house manytimes. Darren held the burglar at gunpoint until thepolice arrived.3Did you hear about this on TV?

Brasco Buddies are smart. Theyknow if these kids hadnot used a gun in self-defense, bad people might havekilled them.

Z is for ZEROIN A firearm is not accurateor safe unless it shoots where it is pointed. When ashooter adjusts the sights on his gun to improve hisaccuracy it is called Zeroing In. To make sure he

knows where the bullet will hit, Brasco zeroes in hisrifle while his father watches through binoculars andtells him whether his bullets are hitting high or low, leftor right.

As soon as they are done, Brasco and his dad aregoing to clean their guns, make sure they

are properly stored, and go to the zoo!

A Note to Parents

Obviously I am very proud that my son Erik createdBrascoand that we had the opportunity to worktogether.Even Eriks younger brother Jeremy and mywife made suggestions about how to educate morekids about liberty.I hope your family will takeBrascosLiberty Lessonsto heart and reach out to

as many kids as you and all your family can.

We parents are in a race for time against some veryruthless and evil forces whoH AT E the Americandream.Its frightening that some of them are sittinginside our government.

Time grows shorter each day.I encourage all of you tobuy and distribute the first issue of Brascoto asmany children as quickly as you can.Do your part tosave our kids if you dont,the American dream willdie,and your children and mine will be slaves.

Aaron Zelman

REMEMBER:

1 Shooting guns is enjoyable and there isabsolutely no reason why our children

should not know the fun of a gun.

2 The liberty lessonsare an inoculationforour children against government/media lies

that guns are somehow bad and evil.

3 As a parent I have witnessed the effective-ness ofBrascowith children.They now

know a lie when they are confronted by one,

without my presence.Its great to see kids tell

their parents about the lies they heard today,

or how some other kids just dont get it.

4 Have a Brascoparty.Make it fun for kidsto read out loud and color the pages from

Brasco.Offer prizes to kids who do thebest job.

Footnotes1In 1982,the U.S.Court ofAppeals,Seventh Circuit,

held that:there is no constitutional right to be protect-ed by the state against being murdered by crim-inals or madmen.It is monstrous if the state failsto protect its residents against such predatorsbut it does not violate the due process clause ofthe Fourteenth Amendment or,we suppose,anyother provision of the Constitution. TheConstitution is a charter of negative liberties;ittells the state to let people alone; it does notrequire the federal government or the state to

provide services,even so elementary a service asmaintaining law and order.[Bowers v.DeVito,U.S.Court of Appeals,Seventh Circuit, 686F.2d616 (1982).See also Reiff v.City ofPhiladelphia,471 F.Supp.1262 (E.D.Pa.1979)].

2FromThe N ew Am erican, May 25,1998,p.9:

the Salt Lake Tribun e reported an incident inTulsa,Oklahoma in which 13-year-old JarrodBarnes,who had been properly trained in the use

of firearms,probably saved his own life and those

of three younger brothers who sought refuge in abedroom after an intruder burst into their homewhile their parents were away.According to theTribune, while a brother dialed 911 the interlopertried to force the bedroom door open,at whichpoint Jarrod went for his stepfathers .357Magnum and fired through the bedroom door,striking the man in the chest.The man stumbledinto the front yard and collapsed dead.A pocketknife and 15-inch screwdriver were found on thebody.

3FromThe N ew Am erican, May 25,1998,p.10:

In 1993,after the family home had been burgledseveral times,17-year-old Darren Yakunovich ofKipton,Ohio stayed home from school in thehope of apprehending the burglar.The thief didindeed strike again (it was an erstwhile friend),but when he entered an upstairs room Darrenended his crime career,at least temporarily,byholding him at gunpoint until the police arrived.
