You're buying the mindset that the far left would like you to have.maximus2161 wrote:It seemed like things were going really good in regards to gun rights. And overnight (but we knew this was a possiblity) its seems that will all change. The statment KeithB made: removing the rights of gun owners, and for stripping the capabilities of defending yourself, your family and protecting your possessions really REALLY concerns me.
I can live with another AWB. I can live with higher ammo prices and higher gun prices. (Tho I do NOT like any of those options) I can NOT live with the idea that we wont be able to carry or own guns. I PRAY that wont happen.
Another AWB, which was already proven to have no effect on crime, would be only one step in their stated goal ending your ability to own or use firearms of any type, and then stripping away all your other rights as well one by one. Accepting the destruction of any part of your rights is a prelude to the destruction of the rest.
The proper stance, IMHO, is to join and strongly support the organizations that defend our rights (NRA, TSRA, etc.) and to become politically active in calling, emailing, and writing your representatives at all levels whenever legislation affecting our rights is under consideration.
United and active, we stand. Fragmented and passive, we fall.
