Now, more than ever, we need to be not only vigilent, but honest and forthright.
The one thing that we cannot do is counter our opposition with their own tactics. Being the ones that AREN'T spouting nonsense and lies means OUR statements don't result in a loss of credibility amongst the people who matter the most.
And those people are the very ones the gun control crowd is trying to sway to their side...the fence sitters and side liners.
Be calm, be armed with clear facts and sources, and be persistent.
