The right to Keep and Bear arms is one of great importance. It allows the average citizen to protect oneself and his or her family from danger. It also works according to the original founding fathers plans, and that is to act as a firm level of protection from tyranical government control. Additionally the heritage and history that goes along with firearms goes back a long way in our nations history.
From the time we were colonialized, fathers and sons mothers and daughters had used firearms for self protection and hunting food. Hunting and shooting sports have thru the decades brought together familys as well as helped instill confidence in children and adults alike. Wheather it be a trip to the forest to hunt and fish ( a family moment) or target shooting in the back yard, shooting brings out confidence, discipline, and character which is so needed in kids these days. Children tought about gun safety and involved in shooting are much less inclined to be involved in delinquency, harsh drugs and or violence. Consequently they are less likely to become victims of crimes and are able to protect themselves and their community.
Quite to the contrast of the Zealous Gun Ban Media Hype Crowd, gun owners are not red neck triger happy hicks. Most firearms owners are the standard church going family next door who seeks to protect itself from crime and instill values in its children. Before, the gun ban zealots in congress were openly brazent of their agenda, flat out admitting and gloating in their dreams of disarming american citizens of their god given and constitutional rights of self defense. Extremist Left Wing Zealots such as Tom. Daschle (D) J. Kerry (D) Kennedy (d), Schumer (d) Feinstein (d) and Nanci Pelosi (d) have in the past been transparent in their agenda to "ban all guns" and the freedom to defend oneself. However due to the NSSF, Nra-Ila and the vast majority of this countrys citizens last election we threw many of these zealots (ex. Tom Daschle) back to their homes and out of public office just as in the previous ellection. Now the extremist groups such as the Funds For Animals and Sierra club with the backing of the tyranicall extremist senators are camoflouging their gun ban agenda under the cover of "animal protection", anti hunting legislation, and severe firearm taxes and frivolous law suits aimed at bankrupting the firearms industry. That is why you must write to your rep's and congress and support HR. 800 The Lawfull Commece in Arms Act, an act that will protect federal law abiding manufacturers from frivolous law suits against them for the illegal use of firearms by criminals. Its a common sense law, what would be next. If i ram my car into a wall at 100 mph can i sue the manufacturer too? We have vast support for this bill from congress and the US Chamber of commerce along with 92 co sponsors in the Senate. We now have a vast majority in both houses and must win this fight just as we are winning the fight for the CCW permit states. As of now 38 states recognize Concealed Cary Permits. What is unsurprising is that these states have much lower crime rates for murders and violent crimes than states not allowing concealed carry and enforcing unconstitutional gun restrictions uppon its law abiding citizens. Even though freedom is on the march we must never let down , never give an inch. We must keep gaining ground and always be vigilant. Nra members will always fight for freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Benjamin Franklin- " He who sacrifices freedom for security is neighter free nor secure and desreves neighter"
Thomas Jefferson of Virginia- " Laws forbiding the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neighter incllined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage then to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man"
