Dear Friends of our Constitutional Republic
I believe that the Second Amendment means what it says. If elected President, I will do everything within my power to ensure that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It is no coincidence that those jurisdictions which have implemented significant gun control have become cesspools of crime -- cesspools which now, sadly, try to blame their problems on freer low-crime pro-gun jurisdictions.
Tragically, George Bush, with his call for a renewal of the unconstitutional semi-automatic ban -- and his willingness to sign a variety of anti-gun measures like the plastic gun extension -- has become part of the problem, rather than part of the solution.
I support the:
-Repeal of the unconstitutional semi-automatic ban -- a ban which has compromised our security, while having no impact on crime;
-Repeal of the unconstitutional Instantcheck system,requiring law-abiding Americans to get the government's permission to exercise their constitutional rights (and which does nothing to lower crime);
-Repeal of laws which deny constitutional rights to persons who have committed no crime -- or who have committed a "crime" as minor as a parent spanking a child for misbehavior;
-Repeal of the "safety-free" zones surrounding America's public schools, where only criminals are allowed to have guns;
-Repeal of the draconian gun bans implemented by the District of Columbia, over which Congress is given exclusive legislative authority under Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution;
-Repeal of the ban on full automatics -- ownership of which requires some of the most draconian screening procedures on the federal books;
-Repeal of legislation which somehow treats ammunition as the hazard, rather than the criminal himself -- and which has repeatedly been used as a stepping stone in efforts to ban all ammunition;
-Repeal of regulations which restrict importation of constitutionally protected firearms -- and which treat sportsmen like criminals by restricting the use of "federal" (i.e., taxpayer-owned) lands; and
-Repeal of statutes and regulations which unconstitutionally forbid Second Amendment groups from telling voters about the anti-gun records of officeholders.
For God, Family and the Republic,
