GUN CONTROL
“Gun control means hitting your target.” This is the kind of gun
control I support.
“The right of the people, to keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed.” The Second Amendment seems perfectly
straightforward to me. Almost every government official has
taken an oath of office to uphold the United States Constitution,
which includes this important provision. So why do these same
officials feel free to infringe the right of the people to keep and
bear arms? Every lawmaker who has voted in favor of gun
control laws has violated his/her oath of office. Every judge who
has upheld gun control laws has violated his/her oath of office.
I intend to uphold my oath of office. I understand the meaning of
“shall not be infringed.” I will work to roll-back the improper gun
control laws that are presently in existence, and to fight any new
gun control laws that are proposed.
Does this mean I support individuals stockpiling nuclear
weapons, conventional explosives, bazookas, mortars and other
destructive devices? No. These are not firearms and do not fall
within the scope of the Second Amendment. However, there is
a category of firearms that the State and the Media have
demonized with the scary label “assault weapons” which have
been banned. This ban violates the Second Amendment.
I support the mandatory issuance of Concealed Carry
Permits to all citizens of good character and clean
backgrounds who meet certain objective requirements of
weapons training, weapons skill and knowledge of the law
regarding the use of deadly force. The evidence shows that
after Florida adopted mandatory issuance of CCWs, the rate
of violent crimes against persons went down. The fact is,
criminals are far less likely to mug or rape or otherwise
attack people when their potential victims might be armed
and able to fight back! In just about every state that passed
mandatory issuance of CCWs, the doomsayers predicted
shootouts in the streets, and shootouts in parking lots as
people fought over parking spaces. None of this came to
pass. Instead, the honest citizens are less fearful, less
intimidated. We can hold our heads higher. We have taken
back some of our parks and streets. It is the criminals who
are now more cautious, because the honest citizens can
now defend themselves!
