ACTION ALERT: Tell the SC Statehouse to Get Real on Guns PDF Print E-mail

ACTION ALERT: Tell the SC Statehouse to Get Real on Gun Safety!

The State newspaper's story "Will More Guns in More Places Make SC Safer?" (April 13th) should be a wake up call for South Carolinians.  While SC was recently ranked 6th in gun violence, the Statehouse is moving forward several bills to loosen gun regulations, goaded by vocal gun enthusiasts who believe as an article of faith that more guns is the answer.  Bills being considered in the Statehouse include an Open Carry bill (S 0115) that would allow gun-toting, open or concealed, without a permit, training or background check.  Another bill (S 308) would allow concealed weapons in establishments that serve alcohol.  This isn't about the Second Amendment's protection of the individual right to own a firearm, this is about utter disregard for public safety.  The Statehouse is considering these bills this week...

TAKE ACTION: Tell the Statehouse to Get Real on Gun Safety!

Email and call your Statehouse Representative and State Senator and tell them what you think:
