                                                  please do it again! The

                                                    apparently thinks it
                                                    can fool you. In
                                                response to your
                                                overwhelming opposition
                                                to their proposal to
                                                virtually end shooting
                                                on private property,
                                                they voted down the
                                                original proposal, but
                                                then came up with
                                                a “better” version. Problems
                                                  with the revised Pitt

                                                  ordinance: 
 As GRNC’s Legal Affairs Director put it: 
 Regardless
                                                of where you live or how
                                                many times you have
                                                already contacted them,
                                                GRNC needs you to
                                                immediately CALL
                                                    & EMAIL
                                                Pitt County
                                                Commissioners and demand
                                                that they stop efforts
                                                to restrict shooting on
                                                private property. This
                                                malicious ban on
                                                shooting is a contagion
                                                that could spread to
                                                other counties and must
                                                be stopped.

| Suggested Subject: “Oppose ‘Discharge of Firearms Ordinance'” 
 Pitt County Commissioners: 
 I strongly urge you to oppose any proposed “Discharge of Firearms Ordinance” as a meddling political response to irresponsible activity affecting a very small area of Pitt County. The fact that your sheriff refuses to enforce existing law does not justify restrictions on the ability of lawful citizens to shoot on private property. 
 With the latest version, it appears you are playing a “shell game” to hide restrictions inside arcane language. Among the proposed ordinance’s many subtle “gotchas”: 
 
 By adding “shooting range” restrictions to private property owners simply shooting on their own property, you are nullifying their rights under the Second and Fifth Amendments. Please be aware that I will be closely monitoring your actions through Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts. 
 Respectfully,
