| Message | If a man is concealing a weapon, the point is that nobody knows he has it. A criminal will not be intiminated by gun laws; he will still commit crime with the weapon. Gun laws are not only inaffective, it would impose on the rights of good people. Everyone should have the right to carry a weapon for protection. A criminal will not care about gun laws, while a law-abiding one will. We think that with abundant targets at their hands, criminals will fearlessly commit their crimes, not having to worry about the victims shooting them. Crime goes upp with gun laws. Contrary to popular belief, if everyone carried a gun, the world would be a safer place. There are more good people than bad. |

| Message | Our current laws are common sense and provide a level of safety to the general public. They do infringe on the rights of hunters or sportsmen. |

| Message | They do infringe. Permits take time and cost money. |
