States continue to wrestle with gun control in the wake of incidents such as Sandy Hook. In response, Connecticut predictably just passed the most restrictive package of bills in the nation, while other states are taking a 180-degree different direction. As noted by ABA Law Journal, "According to the Wall Street Journal, more states have passed laws expanding rather than restricting gun rights since the December shootings in Connecticut."

Impassioned arguments can be heard on both sides, but it is those made on the side of personal liberty, responsibility and the duty to protect oneself and their family that we find most compelling.
