American Knife & Tool Institute Announces Improved Knife
Site
Improves Online Knife Resources with New AKTI.org
American Knife & Tool Institute Website
American Knife & Tool Institute
Cody, WY --(Ammoland.com)- Locate up-to-date information on legal
issues that affect knife users, research laws in all 50 states and learn
more about the activities of leading knife advocacy organization
American Knife and Tool Institute (AKTI) on the redesigned AKTI.org
website.
Knife advocates will find extensive legislation updates, educational
materials and other current knife information at the new site. While
some of the material is available only to members, much of the site caters
to all knife users and provides resources for everyone who uses a knife as
a tool – whether for work, recreation or as part of their everyday lives.
“For more than a decade, AKTI has used its website to keep
the knife advocacy community updated about important
issues that affect us all, in all 50 states, and at the federal
level,” said AKTI Executive Director Jan Billeb.
“This new design makes it easier for knife users to easily find
the information they need, from knife safety resources to
legislative updates to stories about how knives have been
used in challenging work and recreational situations to save
lives.”
Through its new website, the American Knife and Tool Institute shares
information about state and federal knife laws and legislation. The
organization has also added sections to the AKTI.org website specifically
for legislators, law enforcement officers and media.
“We want to build on the work we’ve done and the reputation
we have as the organization for those who work with or
benefit from knives, and to support those who have questions
about legal knife usage,” Billeb said.
Knife users who wish to support the work of AKTI will find it more
convenient to become members or make contributions with an online
payment option. Visitors to the site are also encouraged to sign up as
Grassroots Supporters of the knife advocacy work that AKTI does;
newsletters detailing the latest legislative and legal issues and updates
are free to those who enroll.
AKTI worked with Visual People Design (www.visualpeople.com) in
Corvallis, Oregon, to design and develop the new AKTI.org website.
The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) is a non-profit organization
(501(c)6) representing all segments of the knife industry and all knife
users. Formed by concerned industry leaders after considerable
discussion with individual knifemakers, knife magazine publishers, and a
broad section of the knife community, AKTI has been the reasonable and
responsible voice of the knife community since 1998. For updates on this
issue and more about AKTI, please see our website at

Mayor Bloomberg’s Lack OfGood Moral Character RunsAfoul Of NY Gun LawsNOV 02, 2010 03:58P.M.
Mayor Bloomberg’s Lack Of Good Moral Character Runs Afoul
Of NY Gun Laws
Mayor Bloomberg with Good Friend President Obama
National Rifle Association
Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- In District of Columbia v. Heller
(2008), the Supreme Court indicated that a limited number of gun
control restrictions are permissible under the Second Amendment —
provisions such as “prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons
and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in
sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws
imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of
arms.”
In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), the Court said that its Heller ruling
applied not just to Congress and federal enclaves, such as Washington,
D.C., but nationwide as well.
Nevertheless, earlier this year, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg
and his police commissioner, Ray Kelly, proposed new regulations
designed to give the NYPD the power to deny a firearm license to anyone,
for reasons that most Americans would consider not nearly serious
enough to warrant the suppression of a fundamental individual right.
These reasons — grouped under the heading “lack of good moral
character or other good cause” — include an applicant’s “poor driving
history,” termination from employment due to “lack of good judgment
or lack of good moral character,” failure to pay debts, or having ever
been arrested for anything more serious than a traffic offense, even if no
charges had been filed, charges had been dropped, or the applicant had
been found not guilty in court.
For individuals whose license applications cannot be denied for those
reasons, the proposal would also allow the police to deny a license to
anyone about whom “information demonstrates an unwillingness to
abide by the law [or] a lack of candor toward lawful authorities,” or
when there is “other good cause.”
Insulting the intelligence of anyone who can read the proposal, the
mayor and commissioner announced it in a press release which focused
on how their plan would streamline the gun license application process
and reduce license fees — all of which will be meaningless to people
whose license applications will be denied. Only in the next to last
paragraph did the release note that “NYPD will add to its regulations to
offer more detailed examples of eligibility standards for a permit,”
without giving examples of what those “examples” might be.
With the public comment period on the proposed regulations having
ended in mid-September, and city bureaucrats working out the new
regulations’ final language, on October 19th Bloomberg appeared on
CNN’s “American Morning” program, saying that it is the NRA that is
“totally unreasonable.”
Bloomberg’s statement is absurd; probably the kind of thing the NYPD
should take into account, if he ever applies for a license to possess a gun.

Rules To Protect Cave Bats –Public Asked To Weigh InNOV 02, 2010 03:28P.M.
Rules To Protect Cave Bats – Public Asked To Weigh In
Wisconsin DNR
MADISON, WI --(Ammoland.com)- Three rule proposals to help
protect Wisconsin cave bats from the fatal white-nose syndrome disease
are available for public review and comment and will be the subject
public hearings across the state later this month.
The proposed rules would list four cave bat species as threatened species,
list the white-nose syndrome fungus as a prohibited invasive species, and
allow monitoring of caves and mines and other preventive measures to
limit the potential spread of white-nose syndrome.
Wisconsin has the largest concentration of bats in the upper Midwest.
The most common Wisconsin bat – the little brown – is particularly
susceptible to the disease and faces extinction.
White-nose syndrome is a white fungus that grows on nose, ears,
muzzles and wings of bats. The disease is transmitted to bats from a cave
that has been infected, likely from a human introduction on shoes or
equipment. It kills up to 90 to 100 percent of bats in infected caves or
mines used as hibernacula.
In just three years, the disease has spread across the eastern U.S. and
Canada. It is now about 200 to 300 miles from Wisconsin’s borders, well
within the 280-mile migrating range of bats.
“We need to act quickly to meet this threat. And we want
everyone who is interested in the health of Wisconsin bats
and the proposed rules to provide comments,” said Laurie
Osterndorf, Administrator for DNR’s Land Division.
The public hearings will be on both emergency and permanent rule
proposals to list the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), big brown bat
(Eptesicus fuscus), northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), and
eastern pipistrelle (Perimyotis subflavus) as threatened species under §
NR 27.03(3), Wis. Adm. Code and to list the white-nose syndrome
fungus, (Geomyces destructans) as a prohibited invasive species in § NR
40.04(2), Wis. Adm. Code. The third proposed rule adds provisions to
NR 40.04 and 40.07 relating to early detection and prevention of the
spread of the disease due to human activities, including the
decontamination of clothes and equipment that have been used in mines
or caves, and limited access of bats or people to caves or mines.
Information on the decontamination protocols is available on the Saving
Wisconsin Bats page of the DNR website.
The State Natural Resources Board at its On October 27 meeting adopted
each of the three rules as the emergency orders, meaning that the
provisions generally go into effect while the permanent rule is being
developed. The board did amend the rule on decontamination
requirements and the authority to restrict access to caves or mines to
either humans or bats as applied to commercial caves or mines to begin
45 days after the effective date of the rule order.
The department will hold hearings on the bat rules via video conference
on November 29 beginning at 11 a.m. with participation available at the
locations listed below.
• Green Bay – Green Bay State Office Building, Room 618, 200
North Jefferson St.
• Madison – The Pyle Center, Room 315, 702 Langdon St.
• Eau Claire – Division of State Facilities, Eau Claire State Office
Building, Room 139, 718 W Clairemont Ave.
• Wausau – UW Marathon County, Room 218, 518 S. 7th Ave.
The proposed rules and fiscal estimates may be reviewed and comments
electronically submitted through the Wisconsin Administrative Rules
website (exit DNR). Written comments on the proposed rule may be
submitted via U.S. mail through 4 p.m. on November 29. to Stacy Rowe,
DNR Bureau of Endangered Resources, PO Box 7921, Madison, WI
53707 or by email to [email protected].

Wisconsin DNR RemindsHunters To Consider VenisonDonationNOV 02, 2010 03:15P.M.
Wisconsin DNR Reminds Hunters To Consider Venison
Donation
Deer Meat Ginger Onion Feeds the Hungry
Wisconsin DNR
MADISON, WI --(Ammoland.com)- The Wisconsin Venison Donation
Program and its affiliates, Hunt for the Hungry and Target Hunger along
with more than 140 participating meat processors, are ready to accept
and distribute extra venison donated by hunters.
A list of participating meat processors is available on the Department of
Natural Resources website.
In this, the program’s 11th year, there are participating meat processors
in 65 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties. In 10 years, hunters have donated more
than 73,000 deer providing 3.3 million pounds of venison to food
pantries across the state.
“Hunters have been generous providers in this program,” said
Laurie Fike, venison program coordinator,
“but it has been the volunteers who have put a shoulder to the
wheel and accomplished the huge job of distributing the
product to the pantries, making it available to families
needing some food assistance.”
In the southern Wisconsin CWD management zone, Target Hunger has
taken on the task of making the program work smoothly. It involves a
partnership of community action groups including Southwest
Community Action Program (Dodgeville), Community Action, Inc.,
Janesville, Community Action Coalition for South Central Wisconsin,
Madison, and Central Wisconsin Community Action Coalition,
Wisconsin Dells. Hunt for the Hungry operates the program in the Green
Bay area.
Additionally, U.S. Department of Agriculture – Wildlife Services staff
help administer the program in 49 counties.
How to donate
For hunters, the process for donating a deer hasn’t changed. There is no
charge to the hunter except for transporting the deer.
There only a few simple steps:
• Field dress the deer and register it at a Wisconsin DNR registration
station prior to donating the deer.
• Call First! Contact one of the participating processors before
dropping the deer off to verify the processor has space to accept
your deer.
• Deer legally harvested outside the CWD management zone are
registered with a silver metal tag. These deer can be dropped off at
a participating processor by Jan. 10, 2011.
• Deer harvested in the CWD management zone are registered with a
red metal tag. Red-tagged deer can only be donated to a processor
participating in the Target Hunger program. Donated red-tagged
deer are tested for CWD and only deer that test negative will go out
to pantries.
• Donate the entire deer to receive the processing for free. (Head

and/or antlers may be removed for mounting.)
• When dropping a deer off at a processor, sign the simple log sheet
indicating your desire to donate the deer and the donated deer will
be processed and the venison will be distributed to charitable
organizations to help feed Wisconsin’s needy.

Weather Conditions Lead ToDeaths Of Migrating SongbirdsNOV 02, 2010 01:10P.M.
Weather Conditions Lead To Deaths Of Migrating Songbirds
Weather Conditions Lead To Deaths Of Migrating Songbirds
Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife
Delaware --(Ammoland.com)- DOVER (Nov. 2, 2010) – A significant
number of songbirds were silenced last week in Delaware when their
southerly migration ran afoul of circumstantial weather conditions that
led to their flying into glass windows causing mortal injuries to nearly a
dozen species of thrushes and sparrows, common and rare birds alike.
As a cold front moved into the northeastern United States on the night of
October 28, conditions were perfect for a mass migration of songbirds
throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. After almost a week in which no
strong bird migratory movements had been detected across Delmarva,
many songbirds seized on the coming cold front to depart ahead of it,
leading to a historic fallout of migrants in Delaware. Reports from
birders indicate that migrant songbirds, particularly sparrows and
thrushes, had descended on Delaware in record numbers as they worked
their way south for the upcoming winter. Unfortunately, their epic
migration also provided a glimpse into the dangers that many migratory
birds face along their journey.
Just after daylight Friday morning, Oct. 29, shopkeepers, residents, and
visitors of Rehoboth began noticing a number of dead birds along the
boardwalk. Their concern led them to contact the Rehoboth Beach Police
Department, which got through to the Delaware Division of Fish and
Wildlife Enforcement Section. Later, as he identified photos of some of
the dead birds as thrushes, Anthony Gonzon, a wildlife biologist with the
Division’s Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, knew
immediately that something disturbing had happened in the resort beach
town.
For Gonzon, finding one or two dead songbirds almost anywhere would
not be surprising, but an initial report of 12-15 birds at a localized site
was highly unusual – especially occurring away from large cities where
tall buildings and the potential for birds to strike windows would be
much more prevalent.
Joined by Sr. Cpl. Tommy Penuel of the Division’s Enforcement Section
and officers from the Rehoboth Police Department, Gonzon searched the
Rehoboth boardwalk and side streets for dead migrants, eventually
turning up 60 dead songbirds representing 11 different species. Counted
among them were 20 White-throated Sparrows, 17 Hermit Thrushes,
along with uncommon species such as the Lincoln’s and Nelson’s
Sparrows.

Nearly all of the birds had injuries consistent with window or building
strikes. Others had already been scavenged by cats and other birds, but
all were found in proximity to those that had died as a result of collision.
Sites along the northern half of the Rehoboth boardwalk resulted in the
greatest number of mortalities. Windows along that stretch showed
obvious signs of avian impacts, several with dead songbirds having fallen
directly below them. While there were likely far more dead birds than
searchers found at the time, between boardwalk residents and
maintenance workers removing and discarding some birds and
scavengers taking others, the actual number of mortalities is difficult to
speculate.
All of the events leading to this mortality event might never be truly
understood, but Gonzon ironically pegged it in the larger picture to
perfect migration weather patterns.
“I’d received word from several sources that migration on
Thursday night (Oct. 28) would be historic in terms of the
sheer number of birds on the move,” he said. “Given that
hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of birds were passing
by and descending on us very early Friday morning, and with
winds blowing out of the north-northwest, birds coming off
Cape May and crossing over to Delaware may have been
forced a bit further south. This would result in a landfall at or
about Rehoboth Beach.”
As exhausted birds reached the Delaware coast during the predawn
period, lights and reflections from buildings and glass could disorient
them, resulting in strikes. Because birds fly lower over water as they
descend upon reaching land, it’s possible that buildings and glass along
the boardwalk were directly in their path. Gonzon also noted that
ominously perfect conditions aligned for the unfortunate mortality, and
that until those conditions coalesce again, Delaware would likely not see
an event like this anytime in the near future.
Unfortunately, there are no easy preventatives for birds striking
buildings or glass. Because birds often cannot see glass or comprehend
the difference between a flyway and a reflection, bird strikes on glass are
implicated as one of the most significant causes of mortality for
migrants. Mortality estimates from glass strikes range from a
conservative 100 million annually to nearly 1 billion.
“However, we can do some things to reduce the impacts of
this type of mortality,” Gonzon said. “Decreasing the use of
building and window lighting during peak migration periods
and using bird-safe glass can help to reduce the number of
strikes. The use of exterior window treatments such as pull
down shades also can reduce or eliminate reflectivity, and
prevent birds from striking.”

Hunter’s Specialties New Scent-A-Way TEK 4 Garments
Hunter’s Specialties
Cedar Rapids, IA --(Ammoland.com)- Odor control and helping
hunters “smell invisible” has been the goal of Hunter’s Specialties for
years. Their line of Scent-A-Way products has proven to be one of the
most effective on the market for controlling human odors.
Now Hunter’s Specialties has entered the scent control clothing market
with Scent-A-Way TEK 4 base layer clothing.
Scent-A-Way TEK 4 utilizes state-of-the-art silver technology to
permanently control odor caused by bacteria.
Scent-A-Way TEK 4 uses up to 33% more silver than other available

silver- based garments, providing unmatched odor control. Nylon
threads that are permanently encapsulated in pure silver are woven into
the garment, as opposed to the silver being sprayed on, dyed or dipped,
so the odor controlling properties last for the life of the garment.
“We have been a leader in odor control technology with our
Scent-A-Way products for years” stated Hunter’s Specialties
Co-CEO David Forbes. “When we made the decision to enter
the scent control clothing market it was with the goal of
producing the highest quality, most effective clothing
available to hunters. We feel our Scent-A-Way TEK 4
garments offer everything a hunter would want; odor control,
moisture management, excellent thermal properties, comfort
and durability.”
Scent-A-Way TEK 4 garments offer easy care. They are durable and fade
resistant and can be washed with other clothing. Unlike carbon-based
clothing, which has limits on how much odor it can absorb and requires
special treatment to be recharged, Scent-A-Way TEK 4 will continue to
control odors on the last day of the hunt as well as it did on the first.
The garments are also designed and engineered to provide permanent
moisture management. They incorporate “catch, move and release”
technology, which traps moisture and moves it away from the body
where it can be treated by the silver and evaporated away. This keeps the
hunter dry and comfortable under a wide range of weather conditions.
This treatment is permanent, lasting the life of the garment.

the Overall Champion title, on his home turf at the 2010 Louisiana Gator
Classic, held October 28-31, 2010 at the Southern Shooting Center in
Thibodaux, LA.
This was Michel’s first time competing in the Gator Classic in nearly ten
years.
It is a USPSA Level II Match comprised of 12 stages and more than 300
rounds.
World champion shooter Max Michel
Michel competed against 68 of Louisiana’s finest shooters in the Open
Division and finished with 1585.0000 match points, or 100%, to ensure
his Open Division and Overall Champion shooting titles.
“I was so excited to have the opportunity to compete in the
Louisiana Gator Classic. I moved back to Louisiana about 18
months ago and this was my first match in the area as my
travel schedule just doesn’t allow for local competitions,”
commented Michel. “It just felt good to get back to my roots
and have some fun with old shooting buddies and family. It
was exactly what I needed at this point in the season.”
Michel’s next competition is the Area 2 Championships, held at the Rio
Salado Sportsman’s Club in Mesa, AZ from November 10-14 2010. The
Area 2 is the final Area Championship Michel must win in order to be the
first person to win all eight Area Championships in a single year.

Team ITI Takes Home Multiple Division Titles At 2010 IDPA Georgia
State Championship
International Training Inc
SHACKLESFORD, VA --(Ammoland.com)- Team International
Training, Inc. (ITI) couldn’t have asked for a better end to the 2010
season with teammates Morgan Allen, Gary Byerly and Brandon Wright
taking home several titles at the 2010 IDPA Georgia State
Championship, held in Conyers, GA on October 30th, 2010.
Wright won the SSP Division (Overall Champion), Allen won the ESP
Division (2nd overall) and Byerly came in 2nd in the CDP Division.
This year’s match was a one day event, consisting of a 13 stage course of
fire. Stages included 17 pneumatic and 2 electronic movers, a shoot
house and a side match on the plate rack. The round count was
approximately 200 rounds.
Allen came in on top, taking first place in the Enhanced Service Pistol
(ESP) Division (2nd overall) with a score of 232.79 (67). This is Allen’s
3rd straight year holding the ESP Division title for the IDPA Georgia
State Championship and his 25th IDPA division title. His win also marks
his eighth IDPA state championship division title for the 2010 season
(GA, NM, MI, TX, AR, AL, NC, SC).
“Challenges like the ones this match provided will allow you
to understand whether or not your fundamentals are in
order,” commented Allen. “Preparation, be it through
training on your own or with your teammates as I regularly
do, can make all the difference. There’s little more that a good
competitor loves more than testing themselves; so shooting
with Gary, Brandon, and extended ITI family this past
weekend made a big difference and drove up the fun factor!”
Byerly secured 2nd place in the CDP Division with a score of 263.40
(102).
“The GA State IDPA Championship has a reputation for being
challenging and this year it more than lived up to that. The
match had moving targets on almost every stage with several
complicated sequences. It was an accuracy intensive
competition with several unique scenarios” commented
Byerly. “My teammates and I were able to identify key points
on every stage allowing us to shoot to our maximum
potential. Congratulations to my teammates who are both
State Champions!”
Last but not least, Wright clinched a first place finish in the Stock Service
Pistol (SSP) Division (Overall Champion) with a score of 199.05 (57).
“This is the second time I have shot the GA State IDPA
Championship and it was not to disappoint. Match Director
Capel English did a great job with his stages. The match had
13 challenging stages, over 200 rounds fired and no stage was
less than 5 targets,” commented Wright. “Capel incorporates
lots of pneumatic targets that pop up, pop out and move. This
threw our timing off and caused us to really examine each
stage. That’s why it was important to have great teammates
with me like Morgan and Gary. I also want to thank ITI for
giving myself and my teammates the ability to expand and
improve our shooting. We’re all looking forward to competing
in 2011.”

Remember To Vote Your Gun-Rights FirstNOV 02, 2010 09:41A.M.
Remember To Vote Your Gun-Rights First
I took the little “I Voted” sticker and carefully placed it on the smooth
stock of the pistol.
Virginia Citizens Defense League
Covington VA --(Ammoland.com)- This is not my idea, but is Jeff
Knox’s idea: after you vote, place the “I voted” sticker on your gun’s grips
for the rest of the day – now THAT’S a political statement that will get
attention!
The antis are using sleight of hand in their ads to confuse voters. Unless
you listen very, very carefully, this ad against Keith Fimian (who is
running against anti-gun Gerald Connolly) makes it sound like the non-
existent “gun show loophole” allowed Cho to get his gun:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qhORTQknuM&feature
The antis like, and encourage, such confusion. For example, in 1993 they
were counting on the public thinking that the “assault weapon ban” dealt
with machine guns.
Remember to vote your gun-rights first. Drive your neighbors, friends,
and family to the polls if that’s what it takes to get them there.

Protect Arizona’s Hunting & Fishing Heritage – Vote Yes on
Prop 109
Protect Arizona’s Hunting & Fishing Heritage Vote Yes on Prop 109
Arizona Citizens Defense League
Catalina, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- Today is Election Day, and, all across
the nation, people will be going to the polls to exercise their right to vote.
Make sure that you, your family and your friends are among them!
Perhaps even more importantly, be sure that you are well informed on
the issues that affect your rights, and where the candidates stand on
those issues.
To assist you, AzCDL has assembled the voting records of sitting
legislators on critical legislation affecting our rights from the past several
legislative sessions, available at our web site:
http://www.azcdl.org/html/voting_records.html
Our political action committee, AzCDL PAC, has prepared endorsements
and ratings of the various candidates for legislative and statewide offices,
available here:
http://azcdlpac.com/endorsement.html
We generally do not take positions on ballot issues, as most of them do
not pertain to our mission. However, Proposition 109 is a proposed
constitutional amendment that, when approved by the voters in
November, will add hunting, fishing and the harvesting of wildlife as
rights guaranteed under the Arizona Constitution.
We urge you to vote FOR the passage of Proposition 109 when you vote
on November 2, 2010.
Recognizing your RIGHT to hunt and fish protects Arizona’s hunting and
fishing heritage, and critical wildlife management practices, against the
emotion-based bans that have been successfully imposed in other states.
Unfortunately, this seemingly non-controversial idea of protecting
YOUR right to hunt and fish in here in Arizona has sparked a heavily
funded campaign against Proposition 109 by primarily East Coast based,
anti-rights groups wearing the mantle of “animal rights.” Their pockets
are very deep. They see Arizona as their next beach head in their war
against humanity. If they are successful in defeating Proposition 109, we
can expect future voter initiatives and legislation calling for the
outlawing of hunting and fishing. Don’t let them win!
The Arizona Game and Fish Commissioners, who helped draft
Proposition 109, have established a website to counter the myths and
outright lies by groups opposing Proposition 109. We urge you to visit
their website:
http://www.commissionersyeson109.com/index.html .
AzCDL is a proud to be one of the many supporters of the
“Commissioners Yes on 109″ campaign.
http://www.commissionersyeson109.com/supporters.html .
Once again, please be sure to get out and vote today. This is a critical
election when it comes to our rights. Remember, your vote is your voice.
Use it!

About:
AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal
misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry
firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. AzCDL was
founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained,
coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the
rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists,
the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the
first major improvement to Arizona’s CCW (concealed carry) laws since
they were instituted in 1994. Visit: www.azcdl.org

Election Day – Don’t let the Gun Grabbers Get Away with It!
Iowa Gun Owners
Iowa--(Ammoland.com)- Dear Friends of Iowa Gun Owners,
Today is election day. It’s time to make sure that your voice is heard.
It’s time to send a message to the anti-gun crowd that you will not forget
their betrayal and their votes cast that interfere with your 2nd
Amendment rights.
We simply ran out of time trying to get an alert out to you yesterday.
There are so many pro-gun candidates that we are trying to help in
targeted districts…..
Many of you have asked about some of the state wide races that are being
voted on today. We will answer some of those questions below. Many of
you have also been asking about more local (County) races as well as
Congressional races.
Iowa Gun Owners is focused on passing our gun bills through the Iowa
General Assembly and so we’ve focused our efforts and energy in that
direction and are unable to give suggestions in other races.
Please read below for some final races that we are covering for you.
Yours for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Signature Aaron Dorr
Executive Director
The 2010 Gun Rights Candidate Survey consists of 8 simple questions
that poll candidates on REAL Right-to-Carry, the repeal of Iowa’s
permit-to-purchase, a true Stand-your-Ground bill, opposition to
banning semi-auto weapons, support of the Firearms Freedom Act, and
more.
If a candidate won’t put their beliefs on paper then you and I have every
reason to expect an aggressive anti-gun vote to be cast by that candidate
if elected.
In this final article we are going to focus on several state wide races that
you’ve been asking us about.
Don’t forget to take action today on these alerts you’ve been receiving.
Now is the time to send a loud message to the gun grabbers, after two
years of fighting with them, that you’ll not forgot their anti-gun
positions.
In the race for Governor:
Terry Branstad has completed the Iowa Gun Owners candidate survey
with all pro-gun responses. He has pledged, in writing, to sign the REAL
Right-to-Carry bill into law once we get it on his desk.
This is an amazing feat to have accomplished! There is virtually no
position that Brandstad had to take while Governor regarding the 2nd
Amendment to look into – which is why we use the candidate survey in
the first place.
We should also point out that Lt. Governor candidate Kim Reynolds
always co-sponsored our legislation and voted for it on the Floor as a
Senator.
On the other hand, Governor Culver refused to complete our survey. He
also signed into law, this year, SF2357 which allows you to lose your guns
based solely on an accusation of a crime. By signing this bill, Governor
Culver did away with the concept of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’
These two anti-gun facts are very telling regarding Culver’s views on the
2nd Amendment.
Secretary of State
Neither candidate returned the survey. For those who are asking why we
would survey those candidates, recall that Governor Culver was formerly
the Secretary of State and it is helpful to understand the views of these
individuals.
Attorney General

Neither candidate returned the survey. Tom Miller, however, has been
working both directly and indirectly to regulate, restrict and interfere
with your gun rights for a long time. From allowing cities to ban weapons
in city property to pushing for SF2357 last session, Miller has been very
dangerous to your gun rights.
Please feel free to forward the link to this article to fellow shooters.
If you want to help Iowa Gun Owners spread the word to 1000′s of gun
rights activists in the State, and to help us ensure a pro-gun majority in
the House next legislative session, please go to our website located at

About:
Iowa Gun Owners (IGO) was formed in January of 2009 to combat the
oppressive gun laws in the State of Iowa. IGO does not believe that you,
as a law abiding citizen, should have to beg permission from the
government to be able to defend yourself and your family. That’s why we
are working so hard to get a Vermont/Alaska style carry law passed in
Iowa. In these states, unless you are a convicted felon or otherwise
barred from possessing weapons, you don’t need a permit to carry a gun
for self-defense! Join us now! Visit: www.iowagunowners.org
