Guys, write a note to your school newspaper, your home newpaper, TV or radio station, or call in to something. Keep it short and simple, and FOCUSED on one item - don't wander.
Don't talk about the _right_ to carry, etc...
Instead, hammer on a theme around "Why weren't these students able to defend themselves? Why couldn't people with those gun permits be able to use them?"
Don't use the common phrases - don't say "CCW," or "concealed carry," or anything like that. Try to think, and write or talk, like Soccer Mom or Soccer Dad.
If you come off as a gun nut, you WILL get dismissed offhand. HOWEVER, if you seem like a "normal" concerned citizen, and make a small degree of logical sense, the guy reading or listening may say "You know, that sounds almost like common sense." And before long, he'll forget the "almost," and be saying "That sounds like common sense."
Right now, there are folks screaming to ban everything. But the interesting thing is that there are a BUNCH of other folks, who aren't "gun people," who damn near want to have handguns issued at college orientation... We need to hammer the common sense here...
