About UT Gun Rights
UT
Gun Rights promotes the right of individuals to keep and
bear firearms, responsible and confident firearms
ownership and use, and political accountability at the
state and local level.
It is your natural right to defend yourself from unjust
attacks by any individual, mob, or government. This is
self-evident to all but the naïve — and the corrupt
politicians and institutions that manipulate them.
Affirmative Agenda
Your right to keep and bear arms is better safeguarded
when government officials and agents are tightly
restrained by a framework of clear and ethical polices.
These policies must reinforce due process for those
accused of criminal activity, punish those who abuse
power, and foster an attitude of respect toward you.
Before such a government can exist, these policies must be
defined and then promoted. Toward that objective, UT Gun
Rights present its Affirmative Agenda for
your review and critique. To read it,

Organizational Policies
The following are organizational polices of UT Gun Rights.
No Authorized Spokespersons.
No one is currently authorized to speak for UT Gun Rights,
and all communication with it is conducted in written
form. If an opinion is provided by a
volunteer/participant, it should be viewed as hers, and
not the opinion of UT Gun Rights. This approach is
designed to:
* Focus attention on the
message rather than the messenger, as the evidence and
positions presented must stand or fall on their own
merits;
* Reject personal
aggrandizement and self-promotion;
* Encourage readers to
continuously scrutinize the information provided to reach
their own conclusions;
* Take into
consideration the effective results of various, anonymous
revolutionary and post-revolutionary political writings,
including
The Anti-Federalist Papers,
The Federalist Papers,
Common Sense,
The Farmer Refuted,
and the
unanimous Declaration;
and
* Provide some levity in the
face of crisis. Members of gun control organizations such as
former Utah Sheriffs' Association president Jim Tracy tend to get
real worked up about having to confront and defend their
positions against opposition they cannot personalize. For
