URGENT ATTN: Ohio gun owners

March 1st, 2012

I received the following message:

We had an unfortunate tragedy happen here in Ashtabula County, Ohio a few weeks ago. Some kids were hanging out at some guys house and the guy had a 22 caliber rifle in clear view where all of these kids were
partying. Now this guy is 21 years old. A 15 year old male wanted to see and handle the rifle, so the owner of the gun pulled the magazine out of it BUT DIDN’T CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER!!!!!As soon as the 15 year old had possesion of the rifle he aimed it at a 12 year old girl, also at this gathering and pulled the trigger. Killed the girl right then and there. These kids were drinking beer and doing things they weren’t suppose to be doing as they were practically all under age. Now,the city council wants to enplace a form of gun control within the
city of Conneaut(safe storage). What I’m afraid of is the fact that the other towns and townships will follow suit and spread all through out northeast Ohio and possibly the entire state. We’ll become another California. That’s how it started over there. One little piece of city legislation and it now
effects the whole state. The law abiding gun owners are under attack by this, if this
goes through with out a fight from the lawful gun owners everyone will stripped of the ability
to protect themselves and family because we’ll have to keep ALL of the guns under lock and key.

Opposition needs to be heard at the next city council meeting to let them know that there are people out there that disagree with the course of action that they are planning to take. The 21 and the 15 year olds are currently in jail.

The council meeting is scheduled on April 9th at 7 pm at the Conneaut city hall.

Contact [email protected] for more info and if you would like to send a letter that will definitely get there.
