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:

Ten Years After the Invasion of Iraq: Reckoning

Ten years after the invasion of Iraq, we commemorate the awful human cost of an unnecessary war and demand accountability.

The Iraq war took the lives of approximately 4,500 US servicemen, over a hundred thousand Iraqis and severely wounded tens of thousands more… all for a lie, the false claim that Iraq had threatening WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction), a flimsy reason before the war, a proven lie after the war. Beyond the staggering human cost of the Iraq war is the staggering financial cost: the cost to the US of the Iraq war is estimated at $2.2 Trillion; the financial cost to Iraqis may be incalculable.

The invasion of Iraq and occupation was a war crime and the war criminals who directed it should be held accountable...
