iapcar.org/ - International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights - Events over the past decade have emphasized the need to protect the individual’s rights to defend oneself and one’s family against grave threats, including crime, civil unrest and terrorism. IAPCAR is dedicated to preserving these human rights, but needs your help in the fight. We are excited to begin welcoming affiliate organizations. There are no dues requirements; however, any donations would certainly be welcomed and dedicated to furthering the goals of IAPCAR. As we all know, international anti-gun rights groups such as the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) are well funded in their campaign to infringe on firearms rights. IAPCAR was formed to counter those groups by rebutting the misinformation and myths about firearms that are often internationally published by these groups. Current members include 31 groups from 21 countries on 6 continents representing tens of millions of firearm owners concerned about civilian arms rights.

Not only do we have the strength and support within the organization, there is a fast-growing network of partners, including individual citizens and institutions which provide us with help in direct dialogue and action. In October 2013 we started as a European confederation, but now we have partners on every continent: Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America.

http://concealedcampus.org/ - Students for Concealed Carry on Campus - is a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization composed of thousands of college students, professors, college employees, parents of colleg students, and concerned citizens who believe that holders of state-issued concealed handgun licenses should be allowed the same measure of personal protection on college campuses that current laws afford them virtually everywhere else. SCCC has members at post-secondary institutions across the country. Both the membership and the leadership of SCCC are made up of individuals with very diverse political backgrounds. The members of SCCC look beyond partisanship, toward the common goal of achieving state laws and school policies based on factual evidence rather than emotional rhetoric. College campuses, though typically safe, do play host to every type of violent crime found in the rest of society, from assault to rape to murder. Recent high-profile shootings and armed abductions on college campuses clearly demonstrate that “gun free zones” serve to disarm only those law-abiding citizens who might otherwise be able to protect themselves. SCCC has two main functions. The first function is to dispel the common myths and misconceptions about concealed carry on college campuses, by making the public aware of the facts. The second function is to push state legislators and school administrators to grant concealed handgun license holders the same rights on college campuses that those licensees currently enjoy in most other unsecured locations.

BIDS vs NICS
If we must have gun-buyer background checks to stop criminals, at least do it without compiling massive records on the innocent. A simple system called BIDS (Blind Identification Databse System) can do this, and at far less cost than NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System).

Is Gun Control Really About People Control - Editorial by James I. Ausman, Miguel A. Faria, Surgical Neurology International, pub. 10/04/2019.
Excerpt from Abstract: The Second Amendment of the USA Constitution states: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Today around the USA and the world some people are advocating the removal of guns from the citizens, called “Gun Control,” as the solution to violent crime that they associate with guns in the hands of the public, contrary to what the Second Amendment states.
This review provides a factual background to the debate about the issues surrounding the arguments for and against “Gun Control.” The paper documents many factors that lead to violent crimes committed by people. The means used to cause violent crimes cover the history of human civilization. They include weapons of all types, bombs, toxic substances, vehicles of many kinds, and planes, all to cause the death of others.
. . . There is the overwhelming evidence that disarming the public from using firearms will not reduce violent crimes and will render people defenseless. Other facts indicate that allowing citizens to carry arms will prevent or reduce violent crimes. The debate over Gun Control has become politicized and emotionally based, because the real goal is not stated. In respected scientific journals and in the Media, factual information about the causes and prevention of violent deaths has been misrepresented or is blatantly false. Using censorship, the medical press and the mass media have refused to publish articles or print opposing opinions such as those supporting the rights of citizens to bear arms.
. . . logically, from all the evidence presented in this review, citizens should be encouraged to carry arms for self, family, and fellow citizen protection, and as a check on government, a right guaranteed by the constitution and endowed by our God-given natural right. The challenges facing us are multifaceted. Is Gun Control really about People Control?
