Coalition sends open letter opposing gun ban to Congress

“Members of the National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban demand that Congress refuse to use lawful gun owners as political scapegoats and instead reduce school violence by defeating any attempt to pass gun control including, but not limited to, banning semi-automatic firearms or magazines, or requiring private gun transfers to be registered through the National Instant Check System; and repealing the Gun Free School Zones Act of 1996,” the letter states.

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report spotlights a coalition standing fast against compromise, and notes a conspicuous absence.

It seems that in some cases, the persons committing these crimes do so to gain notoriety.

Maybe we need a law making it illegal to publish the name or other data about the suspect in the crime.

See how fast the press trots out their first amendment rights.

We need a new Second Amendment. Oh, there's no need to change a word of it. We just need to allow as it means what it says. That would be new enough.
Honesty! Instead of some slickster/lawyer/politician trying to stand the truth on its head and tell us that "shall not be infringed" means the same thing as "shall be infringed". How about honesty for a change? How about our right to bear arms as Americans actually being a right to bear arms, and not the crime of “gun possession“? Simple honesty would be a refreshing change from what we’ve had from our dishonest government.
