1. All pamphlets have been cleared by the authors for use
at gun shows and for uploading to pro-gun web sites.
2. The Australia cards and "Al Gore's Gun Positions" (Not
"The Al Gore Agenda") are NOT copyright and may be used in
any manner.
3. These PDFs were test printed on both a HP 932 and Canon
S450.
4. We suggest you get "Gun Facts by Guy Smith"
(http://www.keepandbeararms.com/images/gunfacts.pdf) and
print up a few of these too. 

                    General

          IMPORTANT: Please pass this .ZIP file to all gun
sites that you know of. It is urgent that every gun owner
know of Al Gore's gun positions.

          We first passed these out at a gun show in Portland
Oregon. We went around the show offering a small pile of
the two Al Gore pamphlets and the Australia cards to one
exhibitor in each section of the show - only about 5%
refused them, MOST were all smiles and glad someone is
doing something. Several said that they intended to make
their own copies for other shows.  We also placed them on
any empty tables that we found. You should also see if the
show sponsor is willing to pass them out at the do
or.        
               Printing Instructions.

          When printing masters on an inkjet printer, select
normal or best mode to get the best reproduction. But if
your are printing multiple copies for distribution with
your ink jet, choose draft mode for speed and to save ink.

Australia card:
          Print same page on both sides. Hold up to light and
be sure that there is about 1/4 inch clear between each
card before printing many. Cut into 8 separate cards. We
had these printed on ordinary paper for $.035 per page at
our local office supply (about 1/2 cent each after cutting
apart). We produced a single sheet master and instructed
them to print on both sides. Carefully check a sample
before letting them print the whole batch. The printer
should be able to cut them for about $1 per cut, or $4 for
all four cuts.  We also printed some on our printer and
they registered perfectly in the vertical direction but the
horizontal registration was off until we adjusted the
little slider that pushes the paper sideways against the
guide - we had too much slop in our feed tray. After
adjustment the registration was perfect.
          Check all edges of the master as we had some problems
with the last two letters of long lines being cut off. We
believe that this problem was in the preparation of the PDF
and is cured, but be careful

Tri folds:
          Print one page on each side. Fold in 3 equal panels.
Check that the lettering is clear of the folds. If using a
copy center, print your masters on one sheet for each side
- two sided printouts tend to have the other side show
through and don't print well at some copy centers.

Al Gore Billboard:
          This is a sign intended to attract attention to a
pile of the pamphlets when left on a literature table,
perhaps in the front lobby. We printed this on 9 sheets of
8 1/2 x 11 by using the 3x3 print function found in recent
HP and Canon printers (and perhaps others). We then mounted
it to a 20"x30" foam board starting at the top left, using
a glue stick, and trimmed the right edge and bottom (3x3 is
too big for the board so we left a wide right margin and
bottom).
          If you don't know if your printer can do large
posters, explore your printer driver by clicking on
"properties" (in the box that come up when you choose
print) and look for things like poster, billboard or banner
printing. At least two brands allow you to print a single
document spread over 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 sheets which are
combined into a poster of about 16x22, 25x33 and 34x44
(minus a few inches for trimming before combining)

          On Double Sided Printing:

          Choose the first page as a single page to print, set
the number of copies you want to make and print the first
side. Then take the stack of printed paper from the output
tray and put it back in the feed tray and print the other
side. Some printers require you put the stack face down and
others face up so experiment. Print only ONE COPY of the
second side and test fold it (or cut in the case of the
Australia cards) to be sure it is printed correctly before
printing the full batch. Some printers have a double sided
print mode which will automate this process.
