This post is inspired by the string addressed
below entitled The Most Discriminated Against
Minority in the USA; Its US Gun Owners.

Dennis says that we are one generation away from elimination of the gun culture in the usa.
That the goals of the anti gunners are
not so much to confiscate guns now but rather
to train our childern to grow up in gun free homes so that when they become adults they
will be used to gun free homes and there will be few gun owners left to confiscate guns from.
This means that when the confiscation does finally come, there will be so few of us gun owners that no one will care what is happening to us.
I see this as a valid concern which requires
action in the near future i.e. May 2001
As a solution to this problem , I offer this answer:
Certified NRA Rifle and Pistol Safety Instructors offer low cost courses to 14 to
24 year old students in the basics of rifle and pistol shooting.
The idea here is not to certify them; although this can be part of it in certain
states that allow younger shooters; but rather, to give them a introduction to the firearms community. In different words ,to get them shooting for the first time, to realize the fun of the shooting sports.
Heck, you can even use air guns or 22 long rifles.
Just cause my first gun was a 44 mag
does not mean.... Of course , after that ,all the others felt like pea shooters!

SAMPLE NEWPAPER ADD RUN IN YOUR HOME TOWN PAPER at your expense. (See how much more effective your money can be than a nra contribution)hee,hee,hee!!
Introduction To The Firearms Community.
Sleepy Hallow Rod and Gun Club will be sponsering a free* introduction to the shooting sports on the first and third
Sundays of June ,July and Aug 2001 to
introduce the next generation of Americans to the shooting sports. Non shooters of all ages will qualify for safety training but we especally extend
this invataion to our young people between
the ages of 14 and 21.
Some restrictions apply. They are:
1. (free*)Participents will be required to pay for ammo they use but the firearms safety training and range time are free.
2. Those under 21 will need to bring written consent from their parents which we will keep on file. A phone number will be necessary so that we can chech validity of consent. Your parents are also invited and encouraged to accompany you and make a family day of it. Cook out facilities are
on site so bring your own food if you so desire.
3. Firearms will be provided by the club for
your training at no charge. You are responsible for any damage to provided firearms.
Call Milt at 1-395-78-9-64738971234 to enroll
and make arangements.
This is just a sample to get you started.
If you are not going to be issuing NRA Firearms Safety Certificates then you do not need nra certified instructors and can use a compentent shooter from your local club instead.
Remember, the main idea here is to insure the continuation of the fireaems community
and for this purpose all that we need to do is to get non shooters shooting for the first time.
You can do this --if you want to-- all it costs is the news paper add and getting your local shooting club's participation.
If they are so short sighted as to not see the need for something like this then you need to convince them otherwise.
