>COMMITTEE AGAINST GUN CONTROL TO RESIST COUNTY GUN CONTROL
>
>Miami-Dade County, Florida. Today, the Committee Against Gun Control
>(CAGC) announced that it has formed a local pro-gun group for the
>Southeast Florida area. CAGC is autonomous and has no affiliation with
>any other organization.
>
>CAGC was formed to combat the misuse of power against gun rights by the
>county government, and to protect the right to keep and bear arms.
>
>Currently, CAGC is combating the attempts by the Miami-Dade county mayor
>and county commission to frivolously sue gun manufacturers for
>”damages.” CAGC is starting a petition drive to send clear notice to the
>county commission that the majority of the county’s citizens do not
>support this scheme to undermine our representative democracy by using
>the judicial system to override the legislative branch to further the
>goals of gun banners.
>
>CAGC will have a table at this weekend’s Southern Classic Gun and Knife
>Show at the Coconut Grove auditorium. There will be petitions to sign,
>membership forms, brochures to help pro-gun people mail letters and call
>their county commissioners, voter registration forms, and gun safety
>literature.
>
>CAGC is only committed to lawful action. It advocates peaceful political
>action within the established political system of representative
>democracy.
>
>CAGC supports the United States Constitution, particularly the Second
>Amendment. CAGC also supports the Florida Constitution, particularly
>Section 8(a) (“The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense
>of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be
>infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by
>law.”)
>
>CAGC believes in the inherent right of all law-abiding individuals to
>self-protection, and believes that firearms are usually the most
>effective means for exercising that right. Therefore, attempts by
>politicians and others to infringe upon that right are misguided at
>best, and criminal at worst.
>
>CAGC also exists to disseminate information to the public regarding
>their inherent and individual rights to keep and bear arms and to
>self-defense.
>
>Full membership in the Committee Against Gun Control costs only $10 per
>year. Associate membership is free.
