This ban needs to be repealed. Other events included Women Against Gun Control presenting Rep. Chenoweth, who was the lead speaker at Monday's press conference, with a huge stack of petitions. The petitions ask the Congress to pass H.R. 1009 and repeal the Lautenberg ban. She then relayed her own experience when she lost both of her parents to a deranged assassin in 1991. She explained how easily she could have stopped the gunman who took her parents' lives in the Luby's Cafeteria where the three of them were having lunch.
Gun control prevents women from defending themselves.
Please repeal the Lautenberg gun ban. The Lautenberg gun ban is no law for women. It's ridiculous to think that a man who is stalking his ex-wife is not going to assault her because of Lautenberg.
