The Capital Courier -
Gun Gala - Next weekend, thousands of gun owners will meet at the Gun Gala, the largest gun show held in Franklin. The annual event, held this year in the nation's capital, represents not only a prime opportunity for gun buyers and sellers to do business, but also represents a political event.
"As our nation moves into its democratic future, it is critically important that our government respect the rights of gun owners," explained Greg Godsen, President of the Franklin Rifle Association (FRA). "Our members will be looking closely at the parties' policies and views when it comes to gun ownership."
Godsen went on to explain that while the group will not be extending direct invites to the parties, they encourage the parties to submit clear policies and views to the FRA's Executive Council that can be considered when making endorsement decisions. This can be done by both responding to the story and submitting comments on the "Campaign Events" page on the election wiki.
Many political analysts agree that gun rights will not play a pivotal role in the 2009 election, but this interest group and its supporters could play crucial roles in key states. "This will force many political parties to develop a delicate balancing act," stated Kyle Smithson, a political analyst.
Gun ownership is extremely high in the western States, while gun control remains a popular issue in urban areas of the East.

The MAD party believes that the citizens should be allowed to own firearms for recreational purposes only.
In other words there is no need for a citizan to own an assault rifle or any fragmentation device, which includes rockets, grenades, etc.
But we are in full support of allowing our citizens to own weapons.
Thomas Jefferson said, "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." The ReaganKnights believe that the right of citizens to own weapons is an essential right.
Without fear in the government there should be no need for the public to have access to military style guns. The TPP does not seek to entrench its citizens in fear, therefore there is no need for such guns. Guns that are used for hunting purposes only and certain handguns will be permitted. Being raised in the rural part of the F.S., we realize both the pleasures and dangers of owning a gun. The hunters of the F.S. WILL be protected.
Thank You,
Blake Chaffins and Members of the TPP
Scott,
Are you saying that people should be aloud to get their hands on any gun they can? And that there should be no restrictions? As Deputy Party Leader of TPP, I think that it is crutial that there are restrictions on not only the type of weapon you can possess, but the number of guns as well. Thank you for your time.
