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.

Ammunition-feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds also would be banned. Owners also could send their weapons to another state instead of surrendering or destroying them. Man that’s a relief! The innane idea is here…

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.

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…
