Possible federal
ban on assault
guns boosts sales
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
(AP) — Some Texas gun dealers
Tuesday said a possible federal
ban on 19 assault-style
weapons has turned the guns
into hot sellers, while others
say they’re not seeing much of
an uptick.
The federal crime bill now
under consideration by the U.S.
Senate would, among other
things, prohibit 19 types of as
sault weapons. The House
passed the bill Sunday, but it
was unclear when the Senate
would vote.
One, the semiautomatic Colt
AR-15 rifle, has been the most
sought-after assault weapon in
Corpus Christi since talk of
bans began, gun shops there
told the Corpus Christi Caller-
Times.
“It was just an average sell
er,” said Tim Smith, manager of
Smith’s Guns. “(President)
Clinton wants to ban it — it’s
really gotten popular.”
Doc Holliday’s Pawn and
Jewelry gets about 10 calls a
week from collectors and
hunters in search of the AR-
15s, known as Colt Sporters,
said manager Jack Stewart.
“They want those AR-15s bad,”
he said.

“Students face a culture shock
when they come to college,” he
said.
Isham said stress can cause
illness and students should find a
way to cope with stress.
“Freshmen will tend to get ill
more than they have before as a
result of stress,” he said. “The
body needs an outlet to relieve
stress. Many times people don’t
realize their body is going
through stress.”
Dirks said lack of sleep also
contributes to students feeling
sick.
“Students often go without
sleep longer than they should,”
l^e said. “This lowers their resis
tance and makes them more sus
ceptible to illness.”
Dirks said students can sched
ule their time so they can have a
regular sleep schedule.
He said drinking too much al
cohol also weakens the bodies re
sistance to illnesses. Dirks said
students need to limit their in
take of or totally abstain from al
cohol.
