The MSSA "MPS Y2K Gun Safety Rally In The Rotunda" Scrapbook

MSSA was proud to be a part of this year's "Rally In The Rotunda" March 15, organized by Missourians for Personal Safety, and especially pleased that so many other groups joined in the celebration of the good works being done every day by ordinary Missouri gun owners, the unsung good guys. We KNOW that gun safety education and training WORK to reduce gun accidents... while our anti-gun opponents work to make criminals of those who have accidents, we are conducting proven training to keep the accidents from even happening. We know that gun control has never produced crime control, that trigger locks can never fix negligence in locking up dangerous criminals,  and that OUR RIGHTS ARE NOT WHAT IS WRONG IN THIS STATE! Friends, this Rally was one extraordinary experience... a good day for liberty indeed!
