Victory for the Second Amendment
Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of America and Virginia Citizens Defense League filed a brief on April 13, 2010 in support of the MT Firearms Freedom Act. The brief argues that there is no authority for federal gun controls, and that also, even federal law recognizes that MT can have a Firearms Freedom Act. Click here to Read the brief (pdf).
Warning: The Constitution Can be Hazardous to Children! (June 14, 2010) On your next trip to the bookstore, you can play a little game. Determine what the following have in common: music with offensive lyrics, R-rated movies and the Constitution. What Do They Put in the Water? When a New York City mayor does something goofy, a normal reactionis: “there they go again.” When another mayor does the same thingyears later, an additional thought comes to mind. Namely, “what dothey put in the water there?”
In the early 90s when Mayor David Dinkins was in office, a Utahtourist was murdered by a knife-wielding assailant. The next day,Mayor Dinkins held a news conference saying that the previous day’sviolence meant that additional gun control was needed in New York.
Fast forward to the wannabe car bomber who through no thanks to theauthorities failed to carry out his murderous mission. The followingweek, Mayor Michael Bloomberg went to Washington to testify for ahorrendous bill sponsored by that enemy of freedom, NJ’s Sen. FrankLautenberg. The bill? A gun control bill. [Read More]
Chilieans see the need for guns following recent earthquake The following article appeared in the USA TODAY on March 3, 2010 Opposing view: Gun controls cost lives
It's unconstitutional to enact restrictions on law-abiding people
Chicago resident Ronyale White called 911 four times in 2002 when her estranged husband was trying to kill her. When the police finally arrived, they found this mother of three dead on the floor--a mute testimony to the failure of gun control.
That same, tragic story has been repeated many times over in a city that frequently competes for the title of being the nation's murder capital. But all that could end if the Supreme Court rules against Chicago's handgun ban in McDonald v. Chicago.
Gun Owners of America hopes this will be the case.
The fact is, a right delayed is a right denied. And those denials have cost people their lives. Thousands of Ronyale Whites have suffered because their gun rights were denied to them. Yet the Second Amendment says nothing of "reasonable" gun control.
What it does say is that our gun rights "shall not be infringed." Translation: It is constitutionally invalid to enact any bans, licensing requirements or carry restrictions on law-abiding persons who simply want to protect themselves and their families.
Every day, armed gun owners successfully defend their lives all across the country. Recently, a store owner in Louisiana shot and killed an attacker who jumped him in the parking lot; a thug was fatally shot in Kansas after assaulting a man at a car wash; and in Arizona, a gun owner defended himself against four attackers who police said were beating him with a baseball bat.
Without the right to carry firearms away from home, all of these cases would have turned out differently.
Guns save lives -- the lives of the law-abiding. Erich Pratt is the director of communications for Gun Owners of America.
