In the March issue of Guns & Ammo, Tom Gresham commented, "You either get involved or start selling off your guns." I agree 100%.
How many of us/you ever write your Congresssman or Senator? At either the State of Federal level? Do you merely fire off a hot FAX or EMail, or do you use snail mail? I can tell you that snail mail is more often heeded than either of the electronic means.
For Texans, I'm told that Sen. Hutchison will personally read all hand-written letters, on the basis that they are more from the heart, from people who really care.
WRITE! And edit it a time or two before mailing! One subject, one page. Polite and courteous, even if to an anti-gun type--or, particularly if to an anti-gun type. No "Dear Sir, You cur!" type of foolishness.
If all you do is vote and bitch, but never let your elected officials hear your thoughts, then Gresham is right--sell your damned guns and keep on whining...
Best regards, Art
