They tried this before, folks, at least here in Arizona, well they are at it again, they want to ban ammo containing lead components. What do they tell us we can use instead? Well, copper is a nice HIGH PRICED and scarce alternative, they would have us use steel instead too, anything but lead that they claim harms wildlife, despite FACT that proves not. I'd say steel would be an option, but then they'd come after us with accusations of using armor piecing bullets. There is no option folks, lead is it and the claim that wildlife is harmed is a scare tactic we have to bust. Arm yourself with knowledge and when it comes your turn to write you congress person or talk to the public about this, be ready.
A good write up from the Seattle Examiner is here:
http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-seattle/lead-ammo-ban-sought-from-epa-threatens-gun-owners-game-agencies-say-critics
The NRA has some factoids listed about lead bullets too, that article is referenced in the Examiner article.
My soap box (I'll be brief):
The people behind this, the U.S. Humane Society (different than your local humane society, by the way, who does do needed animal control and care work, USHS is different). USHS are the ones who tell us guns are evil, the only thing people use guns for is to kill animals. This just isn't so and this is a huge myth we at SAS work hard to bust. This latest ban attempt is the USHS's attempt to take away our guns, point blank! |

Tennessee SAS member Nikki Goeser will be a guest on John Stossel's Fox Business Network show this Thursday, June 24th. The program will be titled, "More Guns, Less Crime?" Nikki lost her husband Ben to a stalker, who one night followed her and Ben into their place of work at Johnny’s Sports Bar in South Nashville,Tennessee. He walked right up to Ben and shot him point blank in the head, and then 5 more times, killing him. Being a law abiding citizen, Nikki had left her gun in her car, since firearms were at the time prohibited in establishments where alcohol was served. She didn’t stand a chance of protecting her husband. Nikki’s moving story was instrumental in getting Tennessee's right-to-carry laws changed, and she has been all over the country giving speeches and talks about her 2nd Amendment beliefs. "More Guns, Less Crime?" will air Thursday evening, June 24th, at 9 PM and midnight eastern (8 PM and 11 PM central) and on the Fox Business Network. Please check the Stossel home page for other air times and follow-up discussion. |

On Tuesday May 18, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed into law a bill which decriminalized the purchase and ownership of certain types of knives, including daggers and switchblades. The legislation was originally authored and introduced by State Representative Jennifer Coffey, who is also the National Coordinator for Second Amendment Sisters. The bill had bipartisan support and passed by unanimous voice vote.
Second Amendment Sisters is proud to have supported Jenn's efforts to restore the basic human right of self-defense in New Hampshire, and we hope this will be the beginning of a trend where antiquated laws that affect self-defense are examined and reevaluated. |

A new law that repeals a National Park Service policy that prohibited Americans from lawfully possessing firearms in national parks for self-defense is about to take effect on February 22.
Yet the NPS is still debating whether or not law-abiding citizens still “deserve” the right to protect themselves while traveling to and through our National Parks and they are still looking for loopholes to prevent us. Why? They say we will be killing animals illegally if we are allowed to have a gun in the park.
Does anybody remember Yosemite besides me?
Last summer I listened in horror as a woman was abducted, shoved into her a trunk and the kidnappers drove off with her, from right in front of her quarters in the Grand Canyon (June, 2009). The thought in my head was, “not good.” You see, I was working in the national parks 19 years ago, about the same time that the Cary Stayner raped and murdered Carole Sund, her young daughter and friend, then stuffed them in a trunk and burned their bodies. I still have those visions in the night and even today as I travel for my job, which I often do in my RV staying at our nation’s parks, I remember Carole Sund. So when these things happen, these “stories” take place, I feel them, they mean something to me.
The Grand Canyon incident turned out to be a hoax. Apparently the “kids,” I’ll call them, at the Mohave Apartment complex in the Grand Canyon haven’t heard about Carole and the Yosemite murders. Forget that these “kids” cost our state a lot of money, or acted immaturely and irresponsibly. But don’t forget, these “kids” have added their names to a long list of Cary Stayners who believe violence against women is ok, they believe it’s just a big joke. I'd laugh at it and at the fact that Phoenix is the nation’s leading kidnapping and abduction capitol, but I can't.
As the Arizona State Coordinator for the Second Amendment Sisters, I fight for my right to self-defense, no matter where I work or choose to go. The soon to be law to allow firearms in National Parks is one of my “pet projects.” I will see to it that every woman is able to protect herself, feel safe and free to travel, alone if desired, and I will do that by fighting against unconstitutional laws that prohibit our right to keep and bear arms. I will be reminding anyone who dares tell me that I don’t have that right or that I am not “qualified” to own and operate a firearm, that the “kids” at the Canyon got away with abducting a woman (or so it appeared) and all for what, a joke? When and if that threat comes my way, real or a joke, I will be ready. Learn what the Second Amendment means and live it. |

We are a grassroots national organization with representation in all 50 states. Second Amendment Sisters, also known as SAS, was formed in response to the Million Mom March. It was our founders’ belief that the Million Moms should not and would not represent all American Women.
Founded by 5 women from across the country, SAS has now grown to thousands of members across our Great Nation. We have taken on many functions. We teach and advocate for women to have the right to life - that is, we work to protect our basic human right to self-defense. Our members span the ages from the very young to the mature.
Looking forward it is vital to know your rights and most importantly your Constitution. In a day when our Constitution is viewed by some as nothing more than an historical document, we must work to preserve and protect it in its entirety. I have often heard people say the 2nd Amendment protects the rest, and that has never been truer given the climate in which we are now living. Various pieces of legislation are finding their way though both the federal and state governments across our great nation. I implore you to know what your state is doing and work to protect your rights, if each individual does their part, collectively we can succeed. If not you could just wake up tomorrow to find you have become a criminal.
SAS has always been and will continue to be a government watchdog and work to hold them to their oath of office. But without the help of people like you, that task becomes more difficult.
This is only one aspect of what SAS does, in addition to providing resources for firearms training and self-protection for women across the country. Join us today; with your support we can protect and preserve our rights.
Jennifer Coffey is National Coordinator for SAS and a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. |
