HR 380 LC 21 5426T
A RESOLUTION
1 Inviting Connecticut arms manufacturers to relocate to
2 Georgia; and for other purposes.
3 WHEREAS, the natural right of self-preservation and
4 self-defense begets the fundamental right of people to keep
5 and bear arms against such times when the laws and sanctions
6 of society are found insufficient to restrain the violence
7 of oppression; and
8 WHEREAS, Article I, Section I, Paragraph VIII of the
9 Constitution of the State of Georgia proclaims: "The right
10 of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,
11 but the General Assembly shall have the power to prescribe
12 the manner in which arms may be borne"; and
13 WHEREAS, the manufacture of arms is a lawful, legitimate,
14 honorable, and praiseworthy endeavor; and
15 WHEREAS, this manufacture has been conducted in large and
16 small ways in America from our earliest history as a nation
17 and before; and
18 WHEREAS, said manufacture played no small part in the
19 winning of our Independence and manufacture of small arms
20 for civilian use provided the industrial base for the
21 manufacture of state-of-the-art arms needed for victory in
22 both world wars; and
23 WHEREAS, arms manufacture has been on the leading edge of
24 industrial development, providing through Eli Whitney the
25 practical application of mass produced interchangeable
26 parts, great advances in metal working machinery by E. K.
27 Root under the direction of Sam Colt and today the notable
28 refinements in investment casting by Bill Ruger to name only
29 a few of the most noteworthy; and
30 WHEREAS, firearms accidents are relatively rare and have
31 been declining for decades due to safety features
32 incorporated in modern firearms as well as the educational
33 efforts of manufacturers and gun owners associations; and
34 WHEREAS, one of the great lessons of history is that
35 totalitarianism and tyranny never appear in any society
-1-
LC 21 5426T
1 where the right to keep and bear arms is respected and
2 preserved; and
3 WHEREAS, private ownership of firearms has long had a
4 notable effect in reducing crime, particularly violent
5 crime, as shown by studies by notable scholars such as Dr.
6 Gary Kleck of Florida State University, and Profs. John Lott
7 & David Mustard of the University of Chicago; and
8 WHEREAS, contrary to all intellectually honest facts and
9 reason, firearms have been blamed for causing crime; and
10 WHEREAS, this has resulted in persecution of firearms
11 manufacturers leading to trials of the same in Bridgeport,
12 Connecticut and other places where such superstition has a
13 powerful grip on government officials; and
14 WHEREAS, the State of Georgia has banned such persecution
15 based on superstition; and
16 WHEREAS, the State of Georgia provides a hospitable and
17 profitable climate for diverse parts of the arms industry as
18 the success of Glock, Inc. in Smyrna, and CVA in Norcross,
19 amply shows.
20 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF
21 REPRESENTATIVES that the arms manufacturers of Connecticut
22 should receive every encouragement to move their plants and
23 operations from places like New Haven to the safe haven of
24 Georgia, where they will receive the protection and
25 encouragement they deserve for their efforts to provide for
26 the common defense, suppress crime, afford recreation,
27 provide jobs, advance the wholesome and beneficial science
28 of manufacturing, and numerous other praiseworthy features
29 which are a natural part of their industry.
30 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of
31 Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit
32 appropriate copies of this resolution to the Secretary of
33 State of Connecticut and the arms manufacturers of
34 Connecticut as hereinafter named:
