This time, about national reciprocity. What really stood out to me was this one statement;
"will lead to the death of police officers and civilians, the proliferation of gun traffickers, and acts of terrorism and other mass violence."
So where is the information to support the insinuation that concealed carriers are assassinating police and civilians, trafficking or causing mass violence? Answer: there isn't any. Heck, even recent 'studies' tried to insinuate as much, but failed utterly to identify that concealed carriers were responsible for an increase in violence. Or if there were more licences BECAUSE crime rates were higher. Heck, one study author even went so far as to say they didn't care or try to differentiate between criminal homicide and legal self defense as all they cared about was that a gun killed someone (and people wonder why the CDC doesn't get funding...)
In essence, this is what they are trying to say.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I find it very offensive.

Edit: Oregon Public Broadcasting just posted a story about it. Doesn't hurt to help educate the public.
