GROVE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER GUN REGISTRATION ORDINANCE

Dear Grove City NRA Member:  January 26, 1993

On Monday, February 1, at 8:00 p.m. in the City Council chambers in
City  Hall, the Grove City Council will consider an ordinance
requiring the registration  of all semi-automatic firearms within the
city. It is crucial that you call (phone  numbers on back) each
member of the City Council today and urge them to  oppose this
needless proposal.  You must also plan on attending this hearing to 
demonstrate to council members just how concerned you are about
elected  officials trampling YOUR constitutional rights.

Don't be fooled, this ordinance is just the first step.  The goal of
anti- gunners on the council and in the community is to win enactment
of a Columbus- style BAN on semi-automatic firearms.  

Do you want Grove City to be like Columbus?  Where extremist local 
politicians restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens on a whim?  

The gun registration crowd is counting on the gun owners staying away
from this hearing and the non-gun owning community to believe their
extremist  rhetoric.  Only your telephone calls and attendance at the
Monday hearing can  make the difference.

Make sure that before voting, your city council member knows that
semi- automatic firearms are used extensively by hundreds of Grove
City residents --  hunters, competitive shooters, and collectors. 
Make sure they know the  difference between a semi-auto and a
full-auto.  Semi-automatic rifles, shotguns,  and pistols are nothing
new, employing basic designs that date from the turn-of- the-century.


The council is attempting to sell the registration ordinance as a
valuable  tool in fighting violent crime in Grove City.  But ask your
councilperson where  "gun control" has worked.  California?  New York
City? Hardly!

Does your city council member really think criminals are going to
register  their semi-automatic firearms?  Criminals are in the
business of breaking laws.   The only impact this ordinance will have
on crime is to make criminals of those  honest Grove City residents
who fail to comply with it.

Firearms registration is a needless intrusion into your personal
life!  Do  you really think this type of scheme will stop with
semi-autos?  How far away  can handgun registration be?

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!  CALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TODAY AND  ATTEND
THE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST HEARING!

**SPECIAL ALERT NOTICE:  IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS ORDINANCE WILL 
RECEIVE A SECOND READING AND BE VOTED ON AT THE COUNCIL'S FEBRUARY 15
SESSION!  PLAN ON ATTENDING THAT MEETING, TOO!** GROVE CITY COUNCIL
