AMENDMENT COALITION OF MISSOURI
MSSA TO HOST 2004 GUN RIGHTS RALLY
FEBRUARY 2, 2004
The
Missouri Sport Shooting Association (MSSA) is pleased to announce that it is
hosting, the 2004 GUN RIGHTS RALLY DAY! Working
in cooperation with Second Amendment Coalition of Missouri, Mid-West Friends of
GOA, Second Amendment Sisters – Mo. Chapter, Conservation Federation of
Missouri and the NRA, the Gun Rights Rally Day for 2004 is to take place
in Jefferson City, in the Capital Rotunda, 1st floor on Wednesday,
February 25th, starting at 9:00 A. M. until Noon. This
is our opportunity to maintain our presence in Jefferson City.
The legislators must know that we are still active and interested in
fighting for our gun rights and this Rally will allow them to see, feel and hear
our presence. The
gun rights movement in Missouri faces dangers.
Since the overwhelming victory of passing License To Carry (LTC)
legislation through both chambers of the General Assembly and smashing Governor
Holden’s veto, our tide of success has been stopped by a couple of legal
maneuvers and court actions. The
day before the new LTC law took effect, a preliminary injunction was granted to
block its implementation. Since
then the gun rights movement has waited. First
for the trial, then the decision, an appeals process, the actual Supreme Court
hearing and now we all wait for another decision.
It’s been over three and a half months!
Waiting around to react to someone else’s decision is a BAD strategy.
We can’t afford to just wait. While
we have waited, the anti gunners have been lobbying and introducing new anti gun
bills in Jefferson City. We face the possibility of losing supporters in the
General Assembly. Even
if we get a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court, many of our supporters are
likely to “slack off”. We must
not let our people “pick up their marbles and go home”. The fight for our gun rights must go on.
One of the new anti gun bills is to strip out the car carry provision of
the new LTC law – and the court hasn’t even ruled on it yet!
WE MUST STAY FOCUSED! Everyone
interested in preserving and advancing our Second Amendment Rights is encouraged
to attend this important Gun Rights Rally Day.
This is our chance to thank the legislators that stood up for us and
for us to prepare for the future. Please
plan on attending the Gun Rights Rally Day.
Respectfully
Yours,
Dale A. Schmid, President, click
