As a gun owner, hunter and sportsman, I'm concerned about a common misperception: the belief that gun owners are a monolithic body of people who all march to the tune of the National Rifle Association.
As legislators debate the measure that would put more concealed, loaded handguns onto our streets, they should not assume that most gun owners would be happy with a looser permitting system. Some very misguided policies are propounded in our names, and many common-sense measures that would protect all of us are never enacted -- all out of fear that gun owners will exact their revenge at the polls if our interests are not defended.

I believe that you pulled it this morning, you just didn't look at the update date. This is a volunteer organization, and the guy who was supposed to update it hasn't recently. Moving on it's now time to concentrate on the "assault weapons" ban or do you want to argue about this too.
