Law Enforcement
Police officers risk their lives every day and oppose this legislation, which put them in even greater danger.
Gun lobby extremists and their allies in Congress want to impose a law that
will let dangerous people like George Zimmerman carry concealed guns nationwide.
Many voices are united against legislation that attacks the authority of states to decide who can carry concealed guns in their communities:
Advocates Against Domestic Violence
Advocates oppose arming domestic abusers and giving them even greater freedom to stalk their victims.
Mayors
Mayors oppose stripping communities of the right to institute their own laws to keep their citizens and police safe.
Faith Leaders
People of faith are united against this legislation that threatens the peace of their communities.
Prosecutors
The people who work to put criminals behind bars know this law will make it harder for them to protect citizens.
