Utah Gun Owners Alliance is proud to announce that Handgun Control, Inc. (HCI) thinks things are getting worse in Utah - which means they're really getting better! Although Utah Gun Owners Alliance has been operating for less than a year, Utah's rating has already dropped from a D to a D-. We got a special "demerit" for passing Rep. Throckmorton's bill prohibiting government entities from suing firearms manufacturers. This is good news indeed!

The report is at

However, many of our neighbors are doing much better than we are. Wyoming and Montana have "F" ratings, and Idaho has an F+. Utah still has a large number of abusive, anti-gun laws that we need to repeal.

Children do not need to be "protected from guns". They need to be protected from criminals - and they need to learn firearms safety. As we reported in our last alert, when firearms are rendered useless for self-defense, children are left at the mercy of vicious criminals. Should their lives, and the lives of the 2.5 million Americans who use firearms for lawful self-defense each year, be sacrificed to HCI's anti-gun fanatics?

With your help and support, we can achieve an F, or even an F-, next year.

But more important than a silly grade from HCI, we'll achieve liberty, decrease crime, and regain the right and the ability to defend ourselves and our families.
