Thin Black Line
Member
Are you going to get an NRA membership?
How about joining other orgs in your community so you can get involved
both at the local and state level?
How many letters will you write?
How many community forums will you attend in person?
Are you going to educate antis in a nice way by being pleasant, cordial and
offering to take them target shooting?
At this point, I'm going to have to lean back on the "old-fashion" methods of
raising community awareness. When I checked THR, I noticed all discussion
of this morning's OFFICIAL WHITEHOUSE POLICY has apparently been made a
verbotten topic since any thread opened on it is closed. Ironically, I must
add that members were then directed to an Activism thread which didn't
exist:
(LOL...sigh...to be expected I guess...and how Kafka-esque I might add).
So how are you going to change the FEAR that you woke up with this morning?
(BTW, MODERATORS, don't confuse "damage control" with your own FEAR.
If there's a supposedly offending post, delete the post. Information can be
passed along and ideas generated without locking and/or making entire threads
disappear. Don't misuse your own power.)
I'll bet the antis who monitor this site are having a really great belly laugh
this morning at the complete DIVIDE AND CONQUER response that gun-owners
are wilfully doing to themselves. It's really going to make their job easier if
"we" keep this up.
Have we already lost this fight on day one?
I'm asking these questions because it seems the so-called "leaders" on our
side grabbed the towel as soon as the bell was rung. (It was the "I've got
mine already" response that I saw leading up to 1994).
Yes, get off the couch. Call some friends. Get together.
Think long-term. Ignore the "I've got mine already" people and plan for the
next generation --or two and three.
