If you want to see the future, take a look at the Massachuttes gun laws. From reading the law it appears that gun owners are assumed to be potential criminals.

I heard about Gun Owners of America from an internet media outlet that was also reporting on Y2K up to and during the rollover. When I researched the organization some more, I definitely liked what I saw, and sent them a check the first week of January.

David, I followed your link and was SHOCKED by all the anti-gun legislation in the 106th congress! Anyone else following this 2nd ammendment issue might wanna look at that stuff!

I don't even own a gun, but I work with tons of criminals referred by the courts for the "gods of mental health" to "heal them" rather than incarcerate them, and I can tell you right now, their are NO gODS of mental health, and so I know that private ownership does continue to act as a deterrant to these folks who are let go by the legal system.

I don't have a gun in my home...but have maintained my NRA membership for at least 10 years...and plan to renew for 3-5 more years this year! If this keeps up, I may actually have to purchase a weapon...

Hokie, I hope I read that right and this is just in the proposal stage. I did go and look at the bill and it is just ridiculous! It could be interpreted as any semiauto weapon! The Congressman who sponsored this is about the most liberal guy in the MO house. Hopefully this won't go anywhere, but I better call my Congressman.
