Has anyone proactively supported firearm rights?
Yea, I used to hand out stacks of flyers at the gun shows, pass out voter registration cards, and operate a recruiting table for the TSRA and the NRA
YOU WANT TO HEAR THE RESULTS?: :banghead:
I had people toss the flyers out the second I handed it to them, without their having read anything on it.
I almost got thrown out of one gun show by a promoter when a woman dealer complained and pointed me out from across the room to the promoter, that I was the guy who put my "junk" on her table without asking. I was therefore "stealing unpaid space" for my own gain. (This dealer didn't bother to tell the promoter that the "junk" I placed on the corner of her table was a 1/2" high stack of business cards that had a list of the anti-gun business in town!)
I've had other dealers at gun show tables refuse to let me simply place index sized voter registration cards on the corner of their table.
I've had people walk up to glance at the NRA and TSRA (Texas State Rifle Assoc) tables I was manning. These gun show shoppers were holding new rifles or boxes of ammo they had just purchased, but would not hear of spending the $25 NRA membership or $15 TSRA membership at the time, to preserve their gun rights.
I've also had other people, while I was passing out flyers, explain to me that they believed in gun rights only when it was their gun. Otherwise, nobody should own guns.
And then finally, the Anhauser Bush Meeting Hall our small group would meet at , and the George R Brown Out Door Hunting Exravaganza Show that the NRA had a table at, both refused to allow our entry to the facilities right after the Timothy McVeigh murders. I was branded a radical simply for trying to uphold the 2nd amendment!
NEVER AGAIN!!!!.... will I ever open myself up to such humiliation! Way too many complacent morons out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Let em lose their gun rights if I have ever again have to do anything more to stop it.
