Help STOP firearms regulation through State Sovereignty!
armed and humorous:
The problem for a lot of us we just don't have the time to devote to our cause. Not everyone posts their age here, but I'd guess most of us still work a full time job. Otherwise we coudln't afford our hobby. With all the other things that need to get done, household chores like mowing and trimming the hedge, taking care of our vehicle maintenance, family responsibilities like taking care of younger kids or helping your older ones with things they don't know how to do yet, and who knows how many other things, there's just not a lot of time left. The only reason I'm on here so much since I joined is because of the surgery I had on my wrist that is preventing me from going back to work yet. I should have timed it so the legislature was in session. Then I could have spent some time down there twisting some arms in our favor.
That's not an excuse for not doing anything, though. Most of our writing on this formum does little more than make us feel good. Yes, we can put our heads together and come up with some strategies for furthering our cause, we can answer one another's questions, and we can keep one another informed of important issues and events. But, a good percentage of the writing going on here is preaching to the choir and patting one another on the back. (Not that there is anything wrong with either of those things.)
I'm sure a lot of you already do, but we need to be writing to our representatives, writing to the newspapers on the opinion page, commenting on line to news stories related to guns and gun legislation, encouraging more people to buy guns, go hunting, join our group, show them that it's not all about killing people; it's fun, and it could save lives, too.

And that is my point. We need to be more involved or we are in trouble.

You people are right on the money in this forum. Everyone points are well taken. 12 months ago my politics extended to listening to talk radio and waiting to cast a vote for a terrible candidate. Six months ago I attended my local republican party meeting to see what could be done. My opinion, the patient was on life support and fading fast. In March I went to the live showing of Glenn Becks You are Not Alone show. The next day I put together the Sovereignty Resolution for Nebraska. April 15th I was asked to speak at the Tea Party and did so. Since then I have started a non profit, Launched a web site, lined up representatives from Oklahoma, Wyoming, Arizona, Texas and others from around the country to meet, strategize and speak at the Qwest Center. They all want to combine efforts to take the next step some of you speak of. I am was just a clock puncher that got fed up, and we can all do it in the America we grew up in and love. I for one will not let this country fail without a fight and sovereignty is the platform for the battle.
