Better start.
Have you heard the saying "All it take for evil to prevail is for the righteous to say nothing?" Morality aside, we have to care, and at least support those who are willing to work to uphold our gun rights.
Anti-gunners come in many different forms. The smallest group is the subversives who actually have an agenda to disarm the general population. There are many others who, altruistically and (naively) believe that the world would be a happier, safer place if everybody would just turn in their guns. They believe that you only need the police to protect you (they must think we have an awful lot of LEOs!).
IMNSHO, the largest group is the blind followers. They are the morons who get their political, social, and moral guidance from people they see in movies, magazines, and on television. If Oprah Winfrey announced tomorrow that she was no longer using toilet paper, it would not be safe to shake hands with half the population of this country! Blind followers can't seem to understand that the 2-cent opinions of their misguided idols should not be given the same value as their multi-million dollar box office draws.
Happily, though they often regurgitate what they have been fed, blind followers don't usually bother to vote, and most thinking people on either side of the debate consider them rather stupid. But the subversives continually try to get this group moving. Remember the Million Mom March? Live Aid? Search that one out and you'll discover that that was the worst thing that ever happened to starving African peoples!
The final group is the "It does not affect me" group. They don't know much of anything about guns and don't see a need for them. Most of them tend to lean towards the 'only the police need guns' mindset. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE CAN AND SHOULD REACH. They simply have not had anybody sit down with them to rationally discuss gun control and how it impacts them.
The fight for the control of your guns never stops. There needs to be a continual, active effort to preserve that right, and they need our help. Because there is certainly a continual effort by those who want to remove that right from you.
