This should put the Libs in a serious conundrum, helping kids by selling guns:

The gritty fight to the death by Navy SEAL Neil Roberts in Afghanistan's Tora Bora region is the stuff of legend in the special operations community. Now, two years after Roberts fell from a copter and fought until his Sig P226 sidearm ran out of bullets, it's the inspiration for a cause to help the kids of other fallen secret warriors. The story begins with ex-SEAL Dale McClellan, of the training firm Special Tactical Services, talking with Todd Green, the Washington rep for Sig Arms. Their idea: publicly sell a special version of Sig's SEAL pistol to help the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which sends the kids of slain special ops troops to college. The group is trying to build a $25 million endowment. The pistols, now in gun stores, should deliver $100,000. But that could really jump if radio talk show host Laura Ingraham gets her way. She plans to auction off serial number 001 on the air. "Anything," she says, "to raise money for families who've lost loved ones in the special forces. I'm delighted." Ingraham, in 230 markets, adds, "Maybe if I throw in a dinner, we can get another 25 cents."

What do the Million Mom March types have to say.
