The debate over guns is heating up once again, following this weekend’s massacre in Orlando. In the past year, Americans have been buying guns in record numbers, as people look to protect themselves, or fear further regulations. Do mass shootings make you more supportive of gun control, or more likely to want to purchase a firearm to protect yourself?According to the FBI, nearly 12 million firearm background checks have been conducted so far this year. That is about four million more compared to last year at this time. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
