Are you for tighter gun control

What ideas do you have that all gun collectors, competition shooters, self defense promoters can do to fight the looming anti gun control advocates?
I am a life time NRA member, the one organization that fights for my rights. I may not agree with their agenda all the time but they do have my best interest in mind. Are you a member and if not why?
I vote each and every election and look at the candidates record and vote accordingly. Do you vote? If you don’t then you have no right to complain, none what so ever so keep your comments to yourself.
Harsher laws against criminals that use a gun in the act of the crime. And for each additional time they commit a like crime or are found with a firearm double the prison time with no parole.
Do you know your states congressman or senators E mail address? How much time does it take to find it and contact them of your concerns.

How many of you set on your back side and bitch and moan and cry about your rights being taken away?
How many of you get up and try to do something about it?
You know which of the two you are and if your number 1 then you are part of the problem and your helping the liberals gain control of our firearms.
All of us gun owners face a battle in the coming years, billions of dollars are being spent against us buying a liberal press that supports the idea that all guns are evil and people that own them are sick.
So do something, tell us what you do to help our cause. Maybe we can use it too.
Or sit on your arse watch TV and bitch a lot. It’s up to you. But remember one thing, we can easily lose this battle and once lost we will never, NEVER regain our freedom or our firearms.
See what gun control really looks like in the attached photo.

Gun control to me is tighter groups at longer ranges. That's me controlling my gun. What they want is unilateral, (one sided), disarmament, civilians being completely and totally rendered helpless while the other side, politicians and criminals, remain armed. I oppose that completely.
Am I active? My elected officials know me by name, and they know what I stand for. I vote, encourage others to vote, and educate as much as I can, to counter the deliberate misinformation and utter lies of the Left and their puppet media.
 
Years ago in PA, there was a slogan called "SPORTS", which stood for "Sportsmen policing our ranks together". If we value our right to bear arms, we must do our best to respect all laws governing ownership of firearms. If we shoot with others, make sure all obey laws and practice our sport safely.

I am definitely not for more laws.
 
I admittedly do absolutely nothing to fight gun control. I also have never bothered to vote in any election excluding a couple local ones when my friend's mom ran. While I believe that there are good causes, I just refuse to get caught up in politics of any kind. There is just too much one sided thinking involved in politics.

Yeah but 'politics' is a fact of life, like trees, water, dirt, buildings it really exists - get involved in life!!!
 
+1 Armoredman.
I built a statistical model that shows NYC'ers, Marylanders and Californians are doomed to be slaughtered in their gun free states and zones, where 85 out of 100 partygoers will die if 2 terrorist show up, but only 2-5 would statistically die in Arizona, Florida or Texas thanks to CHL rates.
Does that count?

The best thing you can probably do about it is to give money to special interest groups that lobby for gun rights. Money controls washington, which is why obama hasnt done anything about guns. If he could of, he would of. Anything he says about gun control is to please his base.
 
I have seen at least 3 arrests in the local newspaper in the last 2 months involving people trying to purchase guns and putting false statements on the forms. The problem is lawyers allowing wackos to slip through the cracks. If you have ever been treated for a mental disorder, it should be mandatory for the treating physician/institution to report it so it shows up on a back ground check. In this state teachers are required by law to report any marks seen on children. Why the big deal about reporting mental issues?

Being involved in life is why I choose to stay out of politics. In order to devote time to politics I would have to take away time from things that I actually get enjoyment out of.

In no way shape or form am I singling you out or ridiculing you. I understand your line of thinking and realize that it is most prevalent these days in our system and society. The problem is that it empowers the fanatical few who do exactly the opposite to set the precedence for us all, fortifying the one side of the thinking and sealing our future fate.

Because I personally question the mental st-ability of those who would deem what is and is not a mental issue, and just how that power could and would be wielded.

I've got to agree with pnac especially on the shortsighted point. If you look far enough ahead you'll see how you'll have tons of time to devote to politics if one of the other 'life' activities that you enjoy devoting time to now involves shooting sports. Complacency will see it taken away as an option to spend your time on.

I don't think that I'm being shortsighted. I just have a different opinion of what the future will look like than you. The way I see it the absolute worst case scenario is another assault weapons ban, because confiscation would be way too difficult. While I would not like another assault weapons ban, all it would cause is me to have to reload more often since 99.9% of my involvement in shooting sports is with pistols. Throw in the fact that I already own a couple of AR15's with enough magazines to get by and what I see as a worst case future scenario is at worst an inconvenience to me and not worth me spending my time trying to fight it when I could be doing something that I actually enjoy.

Sure.

And while we're at it, how about reporting physical deformities, abnormal genetic anomalies, retardation, Gypsies, Jews, and whatever else you don't like.

Hey, it worked in Germany...

And, BTW, how does one go about defining "mental issues."

:mad::mad::mad:
 
Well said gyvel! BTW. did you know that ADD and ADHD are now defined as mental disorders. That ought to "thin the herd" somewhat.
 
And, BTW, how does one go about defining "mental issues."

Yeah.

In 'Catch 22' type logic there is no shortage of folk that would call your desire to buy a firearm a 'mental issue' and would deny you the permission to do it.
 
jasmith, don't you think that somewhere in the past there were people of the same mind set as myself and yourself in places that now envy the limited freedoms that we do still enjoy? Complacency is consistent in hind sight. Honestly I think that imagining another assault weapon ban is still terribly shortsighted. I'm not saying that your take on things is wrong, I'm simply saying that your take on things will bring a very definitive result. There isn't any way around it.
 
There is literally no power that this government has not abused and will continue to abuse, in many instances the abuse of power is blatant. Since government always exempts itself from any of these "gun control" restrictions I will not support and will actively oppose any and all new gun control laws no matter how "common sense" they claim them to be.
