The Capital Courier -
Gun Gala - This 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.
Many political analysts agree that gun rights will not play a pivotal role in the 2010 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 BWP fully supports the right to bear arms. If there comes a day to restrict this basic right to own a gun then what right would they restrict next? We have basic rights and they are laid out in our constitution. If voted for the BWP would make an end to the debate of restricting the right to bear arms. What if someone came to you and said, “Well you can vote, but only when and where I tell you”, is that democracy? The BWP does not want to see any party take away our citizens rights and we feel that the gun restrictions would be a stepping stone to a domino effect. If they can change one of our rights then that just opens the door for them to change others. Support the BWP, because we support you.
-BWP, the people looking out for you
The Metamorphic Party feels that every citizen in the Franklin States should have the right to bear arms. But, it is important that the gun owners register with our national government stating the type of gun they have and when they bought it. We feel that the people should have as many freedoms as possible, but not to the point where danger or harm is occurring. We completely respect the Franklin Rifle Association in their belief that citizens should be able to own guns. We want your vote FRA members! Forget the rest, get with the best. We are the change!
The Prosperous Party beleives that it is a basic right of an individual to own a gun. The government has no right to infringe upon this right given to the people. The government may have the power to regulate the sales and trade of such weapons, but anything other than that is un-necessary.
The WOP supports the gun ownership as long as the owner has he/she is registered to it and that he/she needs to have a license to operate it. According to the second amendment, citizens have a right to bear arms for protection. The WOP supports this political event and would encourage the government to do also. The Eastern people should feel more secure because the WOP placed more requirements on the gun ownership
The People's Party firmly believes that the right to bear arms is a given right by the Constitution that should not be taken away. The Founding Fathers created the Bill of Rights and included the right to bear arms because they believed it was necessary for citizens to be able to protect themselves and their property. The TPP supports the Bill of Rights and all of the natural rights given to citizens.
