The Giffords Law Center recently released Gun Law Scorecard grades and ranks for all 50 states based on their gun laws. Alabama was among 22 states that receive an F for their lack of gun control legislation. In 2018 state legislatures passed 67 new laws in 26 states limiting their citizens’ Second Amendment rights. The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence graded and ranked each state on the strength of its gun laws. Their research indicates that states with stronger gun laws have lower gun death rates. |

As an Alabamian, I am eminently proud of my state's "F" rating and call out Gifford for lying about gun laws being protective;
Professor Gary Kleck of the University of Florida, and professors Lott and Mustard of the University of Chicago have proved that the places with freer access to guns are actually less crime ridden than places where guns are difficult for honest people to acquire. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
