States like New Jersey require all of these, depending on specific uses of the weapon. Vermont, however, requires none, and the minimum age is 16. ...

"Are people expecting incidents in their frontyards? No, but people are starting to think things are possible that they never thought were possible before." The majority of first-timers seeking guns and permits are women, said area gun store owners.

This sociology professor tells us that we're only hurting ourselves in the long run, because having "these types of objects around the house" just reminds us how fearful we are. And what kind of message does it send the CHILDREN??

"With passage of this legislation, the Senate has taken a significant step toward ensuring that law enforcement has the tools needed to investigate and deter terrorist attacks. But there is one glaring omission - nothing in this bill will close the gaps in our federal firearm laws that allow terrorists to amass their deadly arsenals. The House should address this failure when it takes up the legislation today." --Sarah Brady
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900
