"Former U.S.ambassador Dan Simpson is once again weighing in on the gun issue. Some of you may remember the 'modest proposal' he came out with shortly after the VA Tech shootings, and while his new screed does not contain ideas like: The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty his proposals are still unacceptable. Perhaps he needs a reminder of just what sort of unintended consequences his anti-gun nuttery might produce . . ." ... |

"Dear Ms. McCaulou"
"Your April 24, 2012 column in The New York Times titled I Hunt, but the N.R.A. Isn’t for Me ... actually shows you know little about the NRA and even less about the Second Amendment and history. The NRA fights to protect and preserve the Second Amendment."

"In May 2011, Ruger launched the challenge to sell one-million Ruger firearms over the course of one year, with one dollar of each sale going to benefit NRA Institute for Legislative Action. The Million Gun Challenge quickly became the 1.2 Million Gun Challenge when Ruger customers purchased even more firearms than was originally anticipated." ... |

... "Nevertheless, Ms. McCaulou overall point is valid: the NRA does not have a monopoly on representing gun owners, in particular hunters:"
"Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that every N.R.A. member is also a hunter — which is highly unlikely, considering that the most comprehensive national survey of firearm ownership to date found that only 35 percent of gun-owning households say they hunt. Even then, the N.R.A. would represent only about one-third of all hunters in the United States."
"Does this mean, as Ms. McCaulou implies - 'The N.R.A. has never had much to do with hunting' - that the NRA does not strongly support hunting and hunting-related activities?"

"Critics of the law have politicized this event by simplifying a complex legal situation most people don’t understand and reducing it to the emotional equivalent of a sound bite. Of course it’s terrible that a teenager was shot, but that George Zimmerman was charged with murder recently proves my point, especially after all the nonsensical hysteria about stand your ground laws, which ironically quieted down after the indictment. ..."

I wanted to write something that could act like a longer “Ask Foghorn,” something tangible that you could hand a new shooter and give them all of the information they need. Something that you could give as a gift, and cheap enough that it wasn’t a big financial investment. Something that was short enough to keep their attention, but contained enough information to get them started and on the right track. After months of work, I think I’ve finally done it." ... |

After all, without guns, every single one of those tragedies -- along with the deaths and wounds endured by 100,000 people annually due to guns -- could have been prevented."

... "... Indeed, there are documented cases in which the display or discharge of a gun did ward off or immobilize/kill an attacker. Sound public policy, however, requires that we move beyond anecdotes and examine the evidence exploring the net benefits or costs of defensive gun use."
"FBI statistics for 2010 indicate that for every justifiable homicide by a private citizen using a firearm there were approximately 50 criminal homicides with a firearm. When suicides by firearm and fatal gun accidents are considered, there were about 115 deaths through the misuse of a firearm for every justifiable homicide in which a private citizen shot and killed another in self-defense." ... |

Indeed, the desire for individual safety and protection remains firmly embedded in our society. What has changed, however, is the extent to which guns are commonplace in the public realm. Ironically, some of the very firearms we have the right to bear for protection are also a trigger-pull away from being a threat to us all." ... |

Most conceal and carry laws restrict a right that is guaranteed by the Constitution.

"The 'open carry' movement has reminded people in many states that the right to bear arms is not limited to the growing number of people who choose to conceal their legally carried defensive sidearms."
"While the practice may seem anachronistic and is alarming to some, it remains legal over much of the American landscape. Whether it 'should be' allowed seems a rather moot question, since it is already 'allowed' either by statute or the fact that there is no law prohibiting it in various jurisdictions where open carry is practiced. In states with specific right-to-bear-arms provisions in their state constitutions, one can reasonably argue that open carry is constitutionally protected." ... |

"Private citizens should not be allowed to carry firearms openly in public. The open carrying of firearms on the street and in places like restaurants and parks intimidates the public, wastes law enforcement resources, and increases the risk that someone will be injured or killed from the accidental or intentional use of firearms. In response to these dangers and an aggressive 'open carry movement' in California, in 2011 the California Legislature banned the open carrying of handguns. Other states should consider similar action." ... |
