Hello folks.™

Email sent.

Hello.

I would like to take a moment to state my view on the
proposed weapon laws:

1. Criminals who commit crimes with weapons will
continue to do so in complete disregard of the law.
They don't care about magazine disconnectors and
loaded chamber indicators.

2. Proper firearms instruction includes one of the
Four Rules of Gun Safety: Treat every gun as it is
loaded. You don't need an indicator, you act like it
is loaded and ready to fire, even if it isn't.

3. All this legislation does is a)irrate the gun
owners who have no intention of committing crimes, b)
add to the worthless legislation that already exists
c) try to compensate for the inadeqacy and
irresponsibility of incompetent gun owners d) do
nothing to criminals or help improve safe gun
handling.

4. Rather than dump money into stripping the
freedom-loving, innocent people who wish to protect
themselves from illicit harm by means of the most
effective weapons to date, guns, why not legislate
laws against criminals? After all, they are the ones
that do the real damage, not the legal gun-owners.

5. Encourage more crime and inhibit the law-abiding
from reasonable means of self-protection.

Hope you consider the above, considering most emails
sent are never replied too...
