Ok, it's time for me to put my view of gun control out there to see what other's can decipher from my thinking. To me there is a much deeper problem here then not being able to defend myself from violent attackers. For me it is about the right to revolt against our government if it should become necessary. Now, if we have the right to revolt, then we should be guaranteed the means to do so. With the current gun control situation we are slowly losing the means to do so, which in my mind is a major problem. On the other hand, if we don't have a right to revolt, then I think it is exactly what we need to do. Any form of gun control, no matter how small it may seem, takes away from that right and the ability to carry it out. We are free people, and we have to keep that freedom for generations to come, no matter what the cost to us. But we can't do it alone, it will take all of us to accomplish anything. We need to do everything we can to avoid the probability of a revolt. We need to write to our politicians and let them know where we stand. Everyone needs to do it, one person here and one person there just won't cut it when it comes to our freedom. The longer we wait, and the more we let them take for us, the higher the chance that revolting will be the only way to get back what is rightfully ours. It is time for us to stand up and say "We won’t take it anymore". I donate money to places such as the NRA and The Second Amendment Foundation every chance I get, but that isn’t enough. I also send my congressmen letters at least once a week letting them know where I stand on this issue, but that isn’t enough either. We need everyone that agrees that we need our guns to do it as well. We need to yell and scream so loud that they have no choice but to hear us. Write to your congressmen every chance you get, attend public meetings every chance you get, let everyone in the world know where you stand on this issue. See if you can get letters published in the opinion section of your local papers. If you don’t have the time or means to do this, then donate your spare change to the pro-gun organization of your choice and let them fight. If the anti-gunners won’t listen in the end, then fight, and fight hard. We cannot compromise on this in any way. It’s time for us to all stand up and be heard. These are my thoughts, what do the rest of you think?
