"We support the use of child safety locks, but if gun manufacturers were truly concerned about safety, they would be doing more than just giving away gun locks. They should be putting integrated locks and other safety devices on their products to make them childproof." -Michael Barnes, President, Handgun Control, Inc. |

"Selian is not anti-gun or anti-hunting, but she is anti-department store gun sales. She believes small sport shops can screen more carefully and know the business better than a huge department store chain. She also doesn't think you should be able to buy guns and diapers in the same store."

"Two girls, 12 and 17, hid in their bedroom for about nine hours Sunday after listening to a man kill their mother and her boyfriend, then turn the gun on himself."
~~~~~
This is a really sad story that could have been prevented had the mother been prepared with an adequate tool for self-defense. |

"We cannot forget the names of these towns where young men turned guns on their classmates, teachers or families in places where they should have been safe. Despite the role of guns in these crimes, many Americans believe it is the inalienable right of law-abiding citizens to bear these weapons. Others believe protecting the safety of the innocent supersedes the protections of the Second Amendment." |

H.R.731, introduced Feb.27 by Rep. Robert E. Andrews (D-NJ), seeks to prohibit the discharge of a firearm within 1,000 feet of any federal land or facility.
"What if someone comes and breaks into your house, which is located within 1,000 feet of federal lands. You use a gun in self-defense, but then lo and behold, you're breaking the law," said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation. |

"Others wondered if I might be willing to list my residential address in the newspaper and advertise it as a gun-free residence. (The answer is no.)"
"In an upcoming column, I will print the most compelling of these stories. Not because they change my mind about the new law that will allow virtually any Michigan adult to carry a concealed handgun just about anywhere. A few true stories can't -- shouldn't -- do that." |

"Believe it or not, despite the rash of high-profile school shootings in recent years, not one major gun law has passed the U.S. Congress since 1996, when those convicted of domestic violence were prohibited from purchasing firearms."

Senator Campbell of Colorado has introduced Bill S.442, to do two things:
1) Allow qualified current and former police officers to carry concealed handguns nationwide, and;
2) Allow states to recognize each other's concealed handgun licenses for citizens.
~~~~~
KABA Note: First of all, states already CAN recognise each others' concealed weapons permits, if they choose. Secondly, this would put police on a higher national standing than the rest of us "common" citizens. Contact your Federal Senators to OPPOSE S.442! |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
