Rep. Dan Zwonitzer, R-Cheyenne, said he owns guns and enjoys shooting. However, he said Wyoming is among the top states in the country in terms of gun-related deaths by population and said the state doesn't need legislation to encourage more people to carry guns.
Zwonitzer quoted the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states in part that a "well-regulated militia" is necessary to the security of a free state. He said he wouldn't have a problem with the bill if it specified that members of the Wyoming National Guard have a right to carry weapons.
Zwonitzer was rated "?" by NRA in the 2004 election cycle:
Failed to answer NRA-PVF candidate questionnaire, often an indication of indifference, if not outright hostility, to gun owners’ and sportsmen’s rights.
Ignorant and arrogant. How typical of those who seek power over others. You folks in Wyoming can get a LOT better servant than this upstart, who seems to think it's his place to tell you what to do...

The good (?) Rep. Zwonitzer is just another one of those "collective rights" moonbats! Let's hope the people of Wyomig vote him out, but quick!
Zwonitzer obviously hasn't read the Federalist Papers, (like most of those clowns in Washington). They are the originators of the 'Only Ones', aren't they, David?
[164] Every able-bodied freeman, between the ages of 16 and 50, is enrolled in the militia... The law requires every militiaman to provide himself with the arms usual in the regular service.(Jefferson: Notes on Virginia)
I've been called a lot of things, but never a "moonbat".
I have in fact read the Federalist papers, at least three times.
When the heck did you guys start actually believing and relying on the Press for your information?
Also, I mailed in my NRA form, and it was lost somewhere along the way. I called the NRA multiple times, recieved no help in obtaining another copy, and was bounced around the country, until I was finally told it was too late to turn in my form.
Maybe you should contact legislators and get their actual viewpoint...
