WHEREAS, Gun Control legislation (Brady Bill) was previously passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Clinton; and

WHEREAS, leaders of the current United States Congress have been discussing and advocating a repeal of the assault weapon provisions of the so-called Brady Bill resulting in a deregulation of the use and ownership of so-called assault weapons; and
