Calhoun County Commission
Agenda Item 12.A. (5) for 2/5/09
WHEREAS, present levels of gun violence in the United States are far higher than in nations which regulate gun purchases more stringently,
NOW, THEREFORE, the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners support:
(1) The renewal of the ban on sale or purchase of assault weapons (making the ban permanent); and
(2) The enactment of laws at all levels of government to make it harder for those with diminished mental capacity or criminal intent firearms either legally or illegally. [sic]
I don't have a link to refer you to--I got this via email.
The meeting is tonight, 7:00 p.m. at the County Building at 315 West Green Street in Marshall, MI in the County Commissioners Chambers on the third floor.
Most of us don't live near there and probably can't make it.
Still, if you'd like to
tell these august representatives what you think of their bright idea...
Ordinarily, I'd advise letting them have it, but I don't want to complicate the task facing those who plan on attending and speaking, so I'll use their words and only say "Make sure you are heard loud and clear!"
For those of you who do live nearby,
Joel Fulton of the
Southside Sportman Club will be addressing the board, and could use all the "warm bodies" he can get:
It is imperative that we be in attendance on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. with a strong show of force to demonstrate that we are adamantly opposed to this resolution and that the adoption of this resolution will have a severe negative impact on the re-election of anyone who votes for it. Now is the time to stand up and I ask you to stand with me on Thursday night to protect all of our rights!
