Make Life More Dangerous for Violent Felons

We've reached a point where too many decent women and men are afraid to use their firearms for the intended purpose of self-protection and defense of hearth and home. This must change—the Second Amendment and its usefulness cannot be watered down to placate misinformed progressives and protect criminals from harm. Judicious use and legal threat of deadly force are well established deterrents to crime. While everyone is screaming to do something about crime, JPFO is acting. We have a plan.

Working with preeminent self-defense attorney Mitch Vilos, author of Self Defense Laws of All 50 States, JPFO is distilling the best essence of gun-owner protection laws to serve as a model for the nation. Not every state is empowered to "throw the book at" bad guys, especially when innocent women, men or even children use guns to stop vicious crimes. Too often the law is aimed at the innocent victim. That's simply wrong. The public needs protection from that sort of legal abuse. At this point, people are armed and ready. Now it's time to protect them better when they are forced by criminals to use firearms for legitimate purposes. Contact JPFO.org and join our effort.

Moving forward we, in association with other civil-rights groups, will be developing and promoting National Model Self-Defense Laws. While federal bureaucrats are hard at work trying to disarm the public—which is illegal infringement and banned—we'll counter that with: victim empowerment, use-of-force review boards for pre-trial exoneration when appropriate, and strong presumption of reasonableness if victims defend themselves against known or new felons and their heinous acts.
Safety first. Rights before trial. Provide deterrence like police used to. Stop criminals cold.
