Firearms Owners, Industry Not the “Bad Guys” Sanetti Tells PBS

NEWTOWN, Conn. — In an extended interview with the PBS Frontline program, Steve Sanetti, president and CEO of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, emphatically says that the nation’s firearms owners and firearms industry are not responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms and, consequently, should not be subjected to the severe restrictions being considered by Congress and many state legislatures. “[Firearms owners] are not the bad guys. The industry isn’t the bad guys,” said Sanetti in the interview. “Insofar as we can help the situation we want to be able to help. But that doesn’t mean piling meaningless restrictions and onerous conditions upon people who want to exercise their rights and just enjoy what they do peacefully.” Read more

Livingston County (MI) teachers have an opportunity to be professionally trained in the defensive use of handguns through a group wanting to prevent school mass killings.  In the piece some reluctant teachers worry about the cost of liability insurance and the possibility of accidents and the possibility of students stealing teachers’ guns would be a recipe for disaster.

You may have heard who police are supporting more gun control measures, as proposed by Obama.  But, what we fail to see presented by the national media is that only certain sheriffs support gun control – appointed sheriffs, that is.  You see, those that have been appointed fear reprisals, if they don’t follow in the footsteps of gun-grabbing superiors.  On the other hand, law enforcement officials, who have been elected to office, hold another view and understand what “…shall not be infringed” actually means.  Accordingly, they are standing tall in the face of more federal mandates.  Montana is one such state and a “sheriffs first” bill has been introduced.

The so-called “sheriffs first” bill would require federal agents to get a sheriff’s permission before making arrests or serving warrants – or risk local kidnapping or trespassing charges.  The details are here…
