"South Carolina gun laws are a study in contrasts. South Carolina is one of the more lenient pro-gun states in the nation, yet it also takes heat from pro-gun control groups because of the state’s record of gun violence."
"Last year, the news organization 24/7 Wall St. ranked South Carolina 10th for the most gun-related deaths and accidents among states. The Palmetto State also cracked the [CDC's] top 10 for states with the highest rates of gun violence, which covers use of firearms in all homicides, accidents and suicides.

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
