Let's put our money where our mouth is

Ordered 250 copies of the Granpa Jack comic, "Will gun control make you safer". For those unfamiliar with the Granpa Jack comics, go to http://jpfo.org/books.htm
I will hand out all 250 copies on my liberal, college campus. There are a few simple rules I have to follow, but I will be allowed to hand these tracts out on campus. This could get interesting. The issue I bought, issue #6, dispells 21 gun control myths, in 18 pages. Shoots nearly every anti argument all to hell. I believe an anti is hopeless, but this comic WILL sway those on the fence. Packed with research based facts, and all sources are cited. The beauty of the comic is that it stands alone. All you have to do is get this comic into peoples hands and it does the rest. 25 copies of the comic will only cost you $14, postage paid! Every TFL member can distribute 25 copies. Take them to work, take them to school, take them to church, give them to your kids to take to school. ORDER SOME http://www.jpfo.org/books.htm

I congratulate you on handing these out. But I can tell you from experience if you get the wrong group of people you could get into a shouting match. I recomend having a friend or two along. The college campuses I have been on were either dead or active. The active ones can escalate to shouting in one nanosecond, and I personally wouldn't want to be the one getting shouted at. My two pennies, and I applaud your effort to spread knowledge. Just remember, some hate knowledge.

Good idea. I have been leaving my LEAA and Rifleman magazines at the med clinic on our visits there.

Looks like it's time to escalate.

BTW, lessers qtys aren't bad - 25 for $14 or 50 for $20, postpaid.

Thanks, "Dik". Good idea. I think I'll order a bunch of these, but they're still a little pricey, so I'll selectively distribute them to only good fence-sitting conversion candidates. On a side note, in my law office waiting area, I have some lame magazines like Reader's Digest, and I put out one American Guardian issue - the one with Charlton Heston and a musket on the cover with the caption "Armed with Pride". It's funny how it gets read much more than the other mags.

Anybody know if there is a way to download the contents of one of the books to see what's inside?

I checked on the page linked to above and didn't see that as an option. I guess I'd like to know what it is before I plunk down a bunch of loose change.

I bought "Gun Control Kills Kids" a while back. It is small, about 5"x6", 9 pages long.
The list price of $3 at the bottom of the cover makes you blink once or twice. The drawing are professional and the content, IMHO is about at the High School level.

Yeah, 40c a pop (when buying 50) means that you don't dispense these like car wash flyers. Still, they do get the stats and facts across. Being in a cartoon format might encourage people to pick it up, even if only from a "Whut the hale is this"? standpoint.

You can either send $20 to a pro-gun organization and wonder what it went for, or once in a while do something like this to personalize the pro-gun effort.
