Second Amendment Action Day Rally in Harrisburg

Several hundred people gathered outside the capitol Tuesday to celebrate their gun rights for the ninth annual Second Amendment Action Day . They were joined by state lawmakers who discussed legislation that would broaden gun rights. Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R) , 12th district, discussed his proposed House Bill 357 known as the Right to Bear Arms Protection Act. The bill would make any new federal gun control laws unenforceable in Pennsylvania.

It would make sure if the Federal Government would create any future gun control laws that our Pennsylvania law would stand up against that effort and stop them from doing so, says Metcalfe

Heading Gods Call, an interfaith organization focused on ending gun violence , says while theyre not against the Second Amendment they do want to see stricter gun laws.

We feel common sense measures to limit the number of illegal guns are needed, says Ron Tilley, Heading Gods Call

Letter: NRA opposes reasonable responses

Do many people actually read the Second Amendment? It states that a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

A well regulated militia is the National Guard. The United States also has a standing military force. Any other armed, militant group today would be an anarchic organization opposing the United States. When the amendment was drafted, real concern existed that Britain or some other nation had desires to take over our new nation. While those concerns no longer exist, the article still states we can own firearms.

The National Rifle Association uses the Second Amendment to justify its arming of the country far beyond the flintlock rifle. While member gun owners think their dues are the real support of the NRA, it is the manufacturers of weapons who are the true supporters and who want to sell millions or billions of dollars of arms.

We are facing, in Topeka and elsewhere, an epidemic almost of shootings and murders largely due to firearms. In an attempt to reduce these murders and shootings, the mayor and police chief of Kansas City, Mo., recommend universal mandatory background checks on the sale of all firearms and mandatory reporting of stolen or lost guns.

Multiple studies have shown that 85 to 90 percent of Americans support universal background checks, including 74 percent of National Rifle Association members. Our legislators, state and national, ignore this fact because the NRA gives them large campaign contributions.

No situation exists for the need for multiple shot clips or automatic weaponry. Relatives tell me these guns are fun to shoot. They may be, but the primary objective of the manufacturers is not amusement, but making a gun to kill.

BARTLETT W. RAMSEY, Topeka

NRA leadership uses Bloomberg gun control push to rally members

April 25, 2014: National Rifle Association (NRA) Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre speaks during the leadership forum at the National Rifle Association's annual convention in Indianapolis.AP

NRAs leadership has used a recent announcement by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg who has vowed to spend $50 million to push gun control measures to remind members that their Second Amendment rights are in jeopardy.

Rallying his troops, NRA Executive Director Chris Cox, speaking at the groups annual meeting in Indianapolis on Friday, said Bloomberg wants to take away our guns.

He thinks he can buy the hearts and minds of America, Cox said, according to Fox 59. I believe that God gave us this freedom and hes not going to let Michael Bloomberg take it away. Not now. Not ever.

Cox oversees the NRA's $20 million lobbying campaign.

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre also unveiled a new ad in which NRA members vow to give contributions to battle back against Bloombergs efforts.

Hes one guy with millions, says a man in the 40-second video. Were millions with our 25 bucks. Lets see who crushes who.

Several people in the video announce Ive got $25, the amount of the organizations annual dues.

The video was released after Bloomberg said he plans to spend $50 million this year to build a nationwide grass-roots network to rally anti-gun voters, the New York Times reports.

Youve got to work at it piece by piece, Bloomberg told the newspaper.
