Gun Control & RKBA

Let me say it again, so the words sink in.....

I am an acknowledged Gun Safety advocate.

I have taken hundreds of hours of firearms training. I have been a certified instructor. I have taught firearms and hunting safety in many venues.

My firearms are safely handled, and stored safely when not in use.

I have never had a negligent discharge, never been taken to task for any unsafe handling.

I also advocate common sense gun regulations.

I live in New York, which has handgun registration and licensing. I do not feel this is necessarily appropriate for all states, but I have no problem living in a state which has such regulations.

I undergo a telephone background check when I purchase a firearm.

I would lose my right to own firearms if I broke certain laws.

Therefore we have common sense gun regulation.

Misuse of firearms is a separate topic to my rights.

ME giving up the right to own/carry WILL NOT MAKE ANY HUMAN BEING ON THIS EARTH SAFER.

PERIOD.
