More on the Gun Summit
The gun industry and shooting enthusiasts fired back at the anti-gun lobby yesterday at an international conference on illicit weapons, saying any global restrictions will affect sport hunters.
“If you do something at this conference that impacts even a few hunters, sport shooters or legal firearms owners, you do it to all of us,” said James Fulmer, a fan of antique muzzleloading rifles from Friendship, Ind., at the midpoint of the United Nations Small Arms Review Conference.
The two-week conference is meant to take stock of the global efforts to curb the trade on illegal arms and draft a plan of action for the future
I’m not a big fan of the sportsman reasoning for defending gun rights but the sentiment here is true. More:
The conference is not looking at legal civilian ownership, but is examining ways to limit the flood of weapons into unstable regions.
