I am depressed to see the defeatist attitude here.
MOST of the country is on OUR side. We have been BULLIED by a smaller foe.
There are fights we have WON. I never thought the day would ever come that I could get a CCW and carry a gun legally under my shirt. It is everywhere now. I consider that a HUGE win for our side.
People do see logic, and when we point out that the 10 round limit has not helped one bit etc, we can change it.
I think one thing has to happen: Diane Frankenstein of California must go first. Her bread and butter is hi cap mags. Once she is gone, we will have a very good chance of repealing the laws.
I think the next move on "their" part is to register mags and limit people to two a piece. I don't want to go into any details and give them ideas, but I think this is what we will see next rather than more capacity limits.
Their ultimate goal is to ban all semi-autos.
BUT, it will never happen if I have anything to say about it!!!! Do something! Vote! Join the NRA, GOA and JPFO. Speak out. Write letters. Educate people. There is no reason for us to lose this fight. We can win if every one of us just does a *little*.
I have never seen such a group of complacent defeatist whiners as I have in gun owners. There is no reason for us to lose. We have EVERY reason to win. We have greater numbers on our side, we have logic, we have truth and history and proof on our side, we have the constitution, we have the law already on our side until it is changed. All we have to do is defend our turf, they have to conquer it against huge odds. We CAN defeat them easily if we all just do a little something each.
My personal goal this year, besides writing lots of letters and educating people with words and flyers, is to sign up at least 10 people to the NRA, GOA, and JPFO. I am a very poor person, considered "impoverished" by the national standard, and I can afford to sponsor people for $25 because I am willing to go without food to do it if I have to. I have at least 5 people that are already signing up. I am offering to pay their way, lick the stamp and sign them up. All they have to do is say "okay", and Iwill do it all for them (because people are too lazy to mail in the check themselves). Usually they end up paying me back, but I don't care. If every member could get a few other members to sign up this year, the NRA, GOA and JPFO would be UNSTOPPABLE influances at three times their member count by the end of the year. Stop pouting and DO SOMETHING.
