Please no flames for this. I'm feeling particularly jaded today and to the point that I don't think we do nearly enough to stop gun control. I think some us do a lot and a lot of us do nothing but post here and other forums, which is really nothing for that end. So I've decided to ask some questions of all of us in hopes of proving myself wrong.
Have you written your newspapers, local TV stations or networks to express outrage over anti-gun statements or articles lately?
Do you know who your rep for state house, rep for federal house, senator for state senate and senator for federal senate all are? If you write them on a regular basis--do you?--you probably do know.
Are you a registered voter who actually hits the polls?
If you answered no to any of these questions, why? My reason used to be that I wasn't concerned and figured no matter what I would alway have the guns I owned since I didn't own any semi-autos or high capacity battle rifles.
Lately I know I'm pressed for time, and when I really don't have the time I've now got about 5 letters stored on my computer that I can change around a bit to fit whatever bill or anti-gun remark I'm writing against. Also the GOA has pre-written letters on some topics--I do use those from time to time.
Learning about the new AWB was the trigger that woke me up. When I started smelling the coffee I did some research and found out that was actually mild compared to stuff currently proposed at the state level... The fastest way to help gun control happen is to stay part of the silent majority. And if you're a member of the NRA or GOA, that's really good but they sometimes tell you about these bills sometimes and remind you vote and write your reps, and ecourage you to write the media.
One last question for those who have answered no. I'm in no position to judge because I would have answered no all of those questions 4 months ago. But my question is will you change that? Speaking up like that made a difference for PA HB760 (gun registration and sneaky attempt to do away with ccw).
