In the REPORTER published by the Second Amendment Foundation, Dan was quoted as saying, "One mission of the Louisiana Shooting Association is to protect Americans' right to keep and bear arms, which necessarily includes their ability to acquire firearms. Handgus are the firearm of choice for self-defense as well as for many types of sport shooting disciplines. Nothing in the Constitution would subject adults under the age of 21 to different rights and protections under the Second Amendment as adults over the age of 21. On behalf of our members who are currently banned under federal law, as well as our younger members who will soon be that banned age group, the Louisiana Shooting Association is proud to be a part of this effort to stop the federal government from enforcing its unconstitutional ban."
