Keep Executive Order 50 in-force.
 

Executive Order 50 should be renewed rather than allowed to expire.

There is absolutely no reason to allow citizens to carry weapons of any kind into public buildings. This is a matter of public safety and has nothing to do with the rights of gun owners.

The gun lobby's stated policy that "more guns" is the solution to the gun problem is absolute idiocy. There are far too many deaths and injuries each year caused by guns.

As a Vietnam veteran who is quite familiar with weapons, I am strongly in favor of mandatory training and testing before anyone is allowed to purchase a gun and I'm also in favor of an outright ban on all military weapons.
