I came here because the majority of the members on this board are shooters. Real ones. Not the armchair-Pattons that seem to populate other boards. I've shot with a number of you and will again when I can. You guys seem to be more about doing and less about talking. I've followed links people have sent me and dug up info of my own. I've sent emails to Senators, Congressmen, The White House and the NRA. I plan on joinging the NRA next week. I plan on donating what I can, where I can. It feels like it's not enough. You guys are smart. Someone has to know more. There has to be more I can do. It seems all I'm doing is talking to air.
I hear other people talking. they say "I don't think that'll pass" or "If they pass that...". I hear people say "They can have my guns, bullets fist!" and I hate it. It misrepresents us. It feels like people aren't taking this seriously. Then there's the media. They're shouting over our 1A rights with theirs. Peirs Morgan browbeats his guests and insults them on ntaional TV. If I'm correct, haven't 3 Gun Nation, American Guns and Sons Of Guns all been taken off the air? Liberals drown facts with a din of falsehood and vilify gun owners for acts committed by madmen and criminals. They stand on the graves of children to propegate lies and push an agenda, which is abhorrent to me. They make us out to be conspiracy-theory-spewing rednecks with a violence fetish. None of which is actually a viable solution in my eyes.
What else can be done? Do we protest? Do we spam social media (YouTube, Facebook and Twitter)? Do we do our own version of Occupy Wall Street but in The Capital? How do we yell above the crowd and shout "ENOUGH!" and be heard? We can't lie or twist facts. That makes us the same as them. We can't blame video games or the kind of music someone listens to. We need to come up with a solution. I gotta say, I'm concerned and a little desperate to solve this without these people getting their damned gun ban. Who was it that said "If you diminish one right, you diminish them all."? This is not the direction I want this country to go in!
Would anyone be against getting together and trying to come up with a plan or solution?
EDIT: if this is the wrong forum for this, please move it.
