But the National Rifle Association says the celebration is unwarranted. Marion Hammer, longtime Tallahassee lobbyist for the NRA and the United Sportsmen of Florida, sent an email to supporters on Wednesday pointing out that gun control bills weren’t even heard in committee and vows to push for more legislation expanding gun rights.
“Regardless of who defeated what, we'd say it was a great session for protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens,” Hammer wrote. “ And the ‘victories’ claimed by . . . anti-gun groups will be short lived because bills to restore Second Amendment rights to law-abiding people will be back ... until they pass.”

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
