According to her website, U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) "Believes that gun owners must be responsible for the use and care of their guns."
"The weapon had been left leaning against a gun locker in an unlocked garage on Kingsway Drive, the report said.
The rifle, a gun case and a GPS, with a cumulative value of $1,100, were reported stolen, according to Chief J.D. Pope. Police think the theft happened on the night of Oct. 15.
According to the report, they had been out target shooting and brought the gun back and leaned it against the gun safe, Pope said. The garage door was left unsecured, according to the report.'

gun owners are the most responsible people in the world. There is no need to regulate people with guns because they regulate themselves!
