"Once the candidates respond to the survey, GOA will report their answers to you, so you and I can hold them accountable. Even if a candidate fails to respond to the survey, we'll let you know. Experience has taught us that when candidates refuse to answer the survey and publicly state their positions on issues related to the Second Amendment, those candidates typically have a hidden anti-gun agenda."

MN Institute of Public Health Reveals Over 1,000 Firearm-Related Deaths 1996-98 Submitted by: Jeff Rau	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
1000 firearm related deaths in 3 years and 75% are suicides. They want us to believe that anything that delays someone could prevent the suicide. Waiting periods and built in locks for all guns is recommended, at the very least. Reducing firearm suicides does not reduce overall suicides. I suppose we should feel better when someone jumps off a building...unless he lands on someone.
