Citizens have the right to bear arms, but if they choose to own guns, they should do so safely, according to a resolution affirming the Second Amendment that the Clackamas County Commission will vote on this Thursday.

County Board Chairman John Ludlow and Commissioner Tootie Smith brought the resolution to the board in a work session last week, saying they have been deluged by emails from gun-rights activists. They were concerned about the spector of legislation forcing law-enforcement officers to knock on the doors of recently bereaved widows to collect their husbands guns.

Calling such fear mongering about bothering widows ridiculous, Commissioner Jim Bernard was among the elected county officials who support some gun-safety proposals being considered by the Oregon Legislature, which aims to prevent another Clackamas Town Center shooting and slow the increasing frequency of school shootings.

I dont think you should be able to bring your gun into Justice Court, Bernard said.

In a lengthy impassioned speech, Commission Martha Schrader argued for the historical importance of the American Revolution and the increasing availability of guns in the 21st century. Schrader said her passion for the issue came from losing her 12-year-old nephew, who shot himself in the head.

It destroyed my sisters life, it destroyed her husbands life, she said. That gun should have been locked up.

In addition to affirming the Second Amendment, Schrader said the resolution should include a list of gun-owner responsibilities to keep themselves and others safe.

Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said in a statement to the commission that he supports the Second Amendment, but the sheriffs office emphasizes responsible gun ownership.

Commissioner Paul Savas agreed, pointing to the sheriffs offices Public Safety Training Center, where the public can go to target practice and learn about responsible gun ownership.

We do promote safety, and that ought to be added (to the resolution), Savas said.

BOSTON (AP) - The state's highest court has ruled that Massachusetts' ban on the possession of stun guns does not violate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Supreme Judicial Court, in a unanimous decision on Monday, upheld the 2011 conviction of Jamie Caetano in Ashland. Police investigating a shoplifting report found the stun gun in the woman's purse.

Caetano told police she carried the weapon as self-defense against an abusive former boyfriend and argued in her appeal that she had a constitutional right to carry it.

The justices disagreed, saying a stun gun - which can administer incapacitating electrical shocks - is not the type of weapon that is subject to Second Amendment protection.

The court said it was up to the state Legislature to determine if they should be legal in Massachusetts.

JACKSON Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves' proposals to support Second Amendment Rights, end Common Core in Mississippi and make government more transparent passed the Senate. His legislative agenda moves to the House for consideration.

I proposed a bold, aggressive plan for the session that ensures we protect your rights and makes your government more efficient with your tax dollars, Lt. Gov. Reeves said.

On Thursday, the Senate passed:

Senate Bill 2394, by Sen. Terry Burton, R-Newton, reducing concealed carry permit fees.

Senate Bill 2619, by Sen. Haskins Montgomery, D-Bay Springs, recognizing military training for firearm permits.

I am proud to honor our servicemen and women and recognize their experience as part of responsible firearm ownership and use, Lt. Gov. Reeves said. These bills are part of my ongoing commitment to fight for the Second Amendment and protect Mississippians' rights to carry concealed weapons.

Also approved this week, Senate Bill 2161, by Sen. Videt Carmichael, R-Meridian, will end Common Core in Mississippi and allow Mississippi teachers, parents and education experts to create high academic standards for students.

With this bill, we can end Common Core, we can end our connection to PARCC, and we can draft our own strong standards for the classroom, Lt. Gov. Reeves said. I am proud the Senate passed the only bill that can lead to the end of Common Core, and I appreciate the 28 Republicans and three Democrats that joined us to make that happen.

Included in the bill:

Establish the Mississippi Commission for College and Career Readiness.

(Fox News) Second amendment advocates, scores of lawmakers, even a policeman's organization are critical of the reasoning behind an effort to ban a popular kind of ammunition.

Americans own more than $5 million AR-15's, the most commonly used rifles for sports shooting as well as home protection.

And now lawmakers are worried the Obama administration is trying to ban a very popular ammunition.

"The President has tried to ban this rifle, but Congress has refused. And now it appears that he's taking his pen and his cellphone and through the ATF is trying to ban the second most popular ammunition that is used in that rifle," Rep. Bob Goodlatte said.

Goodlatte is one of 239 members of Congress who have signed this letter to ATF Director Todd Jones expressing concern about the Obama administration's plan to ban those bullets used for the AR-15, writing it "does not comport with the letter or spirit of the law, and will interfere with second amendment rights by disrupting the market for ammunition that law abiding Americans use for sporting and other legitimate purposes." The NRA is going further, expressing anger with Obama.

Late in the 2008 campaign, Obama tried reassuring folks he wasn't anti-gun.

"I believe in the second amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away. If you want to find an excuse not to vote for me, don't use that one. Cause that just ain't true."

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives says this is intended to protect law enforcement while respecting the interests of sportsmen and the industry.

The ATF is allowing public comments until March 16th.

Then it's up to the attorney general to sign off on the ban.
