[FONT="][FONT="]First 'Guns Save Lives Day' On December 15, 2013![/FONT]
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the Second Amendment Foundation and DefendGunRights.com announced they will join together with other groups to sponsor Guns Save Lives Day on Dec. 15, Bill of Rights day, and also one day after the one year anniversary of the tragic Newtown, Conn. shootings.
We are proclaiming Saturday, Dec. 15 as Guns Save Lives Day. We have created a petition that you can send to Congress to sign in support of the fundamental right to own a firearm for self-defense. We have less than two months to inform as many people throughout the country as we can about Guns Save Lives Day. We must flood the offices of Congress with as many petitions as possible showing support for the fundamental right to own a firearm for self-defense. [/FONT]

There will be events and activities in all 50 states to counter the anticipated push by the gun prohibition lobby to exploit the anniversary of the Newtown tragedy to push their political agenda. Immediately following every mass shooting, the anti-gun posse is there to push their pro-gun control agenda.
Larry Ward, founder of DefendGunRights.com noted: [/FONT]
[FONT="]"The event is designed to counteract what certainly will be a day of activism and misinformation from the gun prohibition lobby. We wanted to ensure that the public has the facts on gun rights and understand how many Americans stand with them in defense of Second Amendment rights. "The Founders understood what many modern-day politicians do not: that Americans are safer - from crime and tyranny - when they have the means to defend themselves," [/FONT]

Americans are concerned about attempts to erode their gun ownership rights, and for good reason. Our mission with Guns Save Lives Day is to assure them our groups are working day and night to thwart government gun-grabbers at every opportunity. We are going to show America that there is a good side to guns. [/FONT]

[/FONT][FONT="]Americans protect themselves from violent crime with firearms up to two million times annually, by some estimates. Nearly half of those incidents occur away from home, demonstrating the effectiveness of concealed- and open-carry laws.
In the majority of those cases, a shot is not even fired, but the presence of the firearm serves as a deterrent to violence. No one at Newtown should have been a victim, and no one in the future should be victimized by laws that do not allow people to defend themselves. [/FONT]
