| Message | We completely oppose. To infringe on the rights of citizens to own firearms is a dangerous consolidation of government powers. |

| Message | This isn't really restricting your freedom. You are still allowed to have firearms. They must be registered. Also, why do you need to carry weapons everywhere? Is there really a need for a .45 when you go and pick up your kids at soccer practice or at school? I don't think this law goes far enough but it is an improvement. We support. |

| Message | Having the government force every gun owner to register with their firearms (and presumably pay a tax/fee) is bad enough. Having the government decide who will be able to own firearms and who will not does not sound like freedom to us. Isn't it benevolent of your "government" to allow a select elite few to own firearms. |
