Press Release/Position Statement

-From the desk of the Candidate-

Friday, January 18, 2008

At least one person thinks confessed serial killer Gary Hilton had accomplices when he murdered Meredith Emerson on public land.  11^th District Republican Congressional candidate Carl Mumpower believes the Federal government aides social predators by banning personal firearms on public lands. 

"The bad guys know that people in wilderness areas are relaxed, isolated, and essentially unprotected."  "The Federal authorities admit they don't have the manpower to effectively police pubic roadways and facilities, much less the vast expanse of wilderness that represents a hunting ground for criminals with a mission," said Mumpower.  "Public land visitors should have the right to be as well armed as park officers and for the same reasons."

"It is the nature of government to reach for the low hanging fruit and regulate responsible people," shared Mumpower.  "We see it at all levels of a society - in the world of secular socialism, the drug dealers, criminals, and other social predators are indulged or portrayed as victims while the real victims are ignored."  "Those responsible for passing these feel good laws might do well to pause and remember that the constitution spoke directly to the uninfringed right of the people to bear arms - the founding fathers knew there is no liberty without safety.
