Open Letter to NFOA Membership
Mikee Loxxer:
No problem at all with you armed and humorous. Just felt that you maybe had a false impression of what the first amendment means, after all many don't understand the second either.
armed and humorous:
Good to know, Mikee. At least one of you aren't appalled by my ideas. :)
Mikee Loxxer:
I am really glad you posted you letter. Good to see more participation here. I wish more of our fellow gun owning Nebraskan's would join up and do so.
huskergun:
Debates are good. They keep the blood flowing.
Anyway, I don't have my CHP ...yet. I hate the idea of asking permission from my government. Makes me sick. Omahas little bounty program really ticks me off also.
But I will get it for the simple reason of being able to protect me and my family.
I don't think we give a little and expect to gain anything. If anything it's the other way around. We need to continue to gain then we'll win in the end.
NO COMPROMISE!!!! Sorry.
"SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" .....enough said.
We need to win.
It is good that we may not agree all the time but we must all have the same goal.

I don't have a problem with those who believe in a strict definition of "shall not be infringed" because I take the meaning literally myself. I suppose the difference between you (and some of the others here who think I want us all to "cave") and me, is that I don't believe that totally disarming us is the goal of everyone on "the other side". I'm quite sure that many, if not most, of those who want some level of gun control want just that. Reasonable restrictions that provide some means of keeping things from getting out of hand. I realize that you may not want to tell me, and you certainly don't have to, but I suspect that many of those who claim to feel as you do, have gotten CHPs. Isn't that caving? If you truly feel you have the right to carry anywhere, anytime, and anyhow you want, why would you bother to get a permit. (Maybe you didn't personally, but I'll bet a number of you did.) I'm not asking for any more than that. I'm not so sure we can maintain our rights in this rapidly liberalizing world without some compromise. Unless, we can convince large numbers of fence sitters to go along with us. If we all act like some survivalist cult, we're simply going to polarize the rest of them against us.
I believe in our second amendment rights just as much as you do. And, I really don't think it is right or fair or whatever you want to call it that we should have these rights infringed. I just think it inevitable unless we can convince others to join our ranks (those who are currently afraid of us or don't care one way or the other or simply have followed their liberal leaders like sheep because they didn't know any better). Like I said to Dan, if we had the numbers to simply outvote the anti-gunners, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now. I'm just doing what I think is the best of the alternatives I have.

1100 plus members I beieve. This ball is just getting rolling Mikee. Me LitlRat, Dan and Chris will be at Cabelas in August signing up as many as we can and trying to get more people involved. Should be fun.
The more members the more partisipation.
