"Obama Plans Broad Gun Control" screamed the Drudge Report headline. So what actions can a responsible gun owner take to stop this legislative insanity? There are, of course, the accepted channels of communications: email and phone calls to your two Senators and the Representative from your Congressional district. Having once worked as an idealistic political intern in a legislative office, I was flabbergasted at the utter contempt that the staff and "my" legislator held for the ordinary voters of the district. Respect was only paid to the large financial donors and their minions.
Emails and phone calls may have a modest but fleeting effect on most ordinary Congressional votes. However, the Obama Gun Grab is not an ordinary vote. This legislation is a direct assault on the 2nd Amendment, personal firearm ownership, and certainly paves the way for the indefinite detention of disarmed undesirable political and religious opponents and their families.
So, what actions can a responsible gun owner take to stop this legislative insanity? First and foremost, accept that you have fears and channel that anger and outrage into a productive and effective plan to defeat this legislation. Humans have an instinctual fear / threat reaction that saved our Pleistocene ancestors on the plains of Africa. Today gun owners must not wave weapons in the air and jabber mindlessly at those who wish to disarm us.
We are still thinking citizens of this great nation, not a mob. We must act calmly and rationally. We must let our legislators know exactly what the electoral consequences of their votes will be. Period. Everything else is just the mis-allocation of American gun owner resources. Money, time and stick-to-itiveness are exactly what is needed to defeat B. H. Obama's gun grab.
Ok here is a recipe on how

Something is going to happen somewhere, most likely there will be another mass shooting, probably in Illinois, might even be a connect to Libor again.
And then Illinois will start road blocks, will do block by block searches, will offer insane rewards for information leading to the seizure of all said weapons. All phones will be monitored, all purchases check in by Swat teams.
Obama will do a trial run with just one state, if it enrages the whole nation it will be a success.
So any way about it as long as their is the Islamic infiltration in our nations capitol they will continue to plan on how to get our neighbors to decapitate each other.
Islam has no army per se, no they are going to make us fight each other.
Last count puts it a lot closer to 20,000 laws and regulations. That's enough to make everyone a criminal, thank God that most are not enforced (not even remembered!).

The author’s advice shows the extent of vanity in only some of the government corruption.
I don’t think you really read the article. It says to write a check to the NRA or JPFO while in front of the aide, then ask them to mail it for you. And promise that the second check in the same amount will be written to the congresscriminal’s next opponent.
Zero money is given or promised to your representative. You send money to the NRA, JFPO, GOA, and state that you will donate to your representative's political opponent if your representative votes in favor of any federal restriction on firearms.
It's sort of like mailing them a handwritten letter that you will be watching, only it has a greater effect, because you take the time to be there, and you put your money where your mouth is.
I think it’s the perfect symbol, and yes, it should drive up those horrible passions from the holocaust, because this is exactly where we are in American history today. We have been swindled by Progressives that would murder every single person that voted against Obama and the Democrats that exists if they could get away with it, and don’t ever think anything different, because if you do, you are a fool. It is coming, just as sure as the the night.
Refuse to follow the "new" law, especially when it infringes on a right.
Today gun owners must not wave weapons in the air and jabber mindlessly at those who wish to disarm us.
Horsehockey. Wave weapons and threaten. It takes that and more since some of those questionable lawmakers won't listen until they are hit over the head.
I’m doing my part to be rational. I bought 2 sig compacts this morning. There is hardly anything left at gun stores. Other people I guess are being rational too.
Bravo!
“I found one of the Ruger BX-25s in a shop nearby - made specifically for the 10/22; was so impressed with it I got a few more.”
Excellent. They are scarce and could be outlawed before this month is over. This is all madness. The anti-gun guys talking on TV don’t even know the difference between semi-automatic and automatic. The want every semi-automatic weapon taken up. Say, what? There would go almost every gun in the country.
I have one that isn’t semi-automatic. It’s an Army Springfield Long Rifle made in 1873 and I have the serial number. It takes powder and ball so it is not semi-automatic as you shoot one time, then go through the process to prepare another ball to be shot. I guess Hussein will leave that one alone.
Good for you. It is rational, when you see your liberty threatened, to do something about it. It is irrational not to.
Do you think it’s working? Not if you look at the number of people buying weapons as fast as they can. We know why.
I keep a very close eye on a certain forum because I know what they’re like & what they’re capable of. I have to hand it to their peers who are gun owners- & there are *many*, for fighting back, hard, & I believe they won’t back down. They know what’s going on. They know, too, *not only* what their “friends” are like & what they’re capable of. They know that their “friends” will turn on them in a heartbeat if they don’t go along. They Can’t Trust One Another.
Knowing that (about your alleged “friends), what would *you* do when push came to shove?
They are failing & they know it. OWS, which was a push by the communists, fell flat on it’s face. A joke. A laughing stock. Turn out for this election was *terrible*. 0bama didn’t win America’s votes by 51%. He didn’t even win 51% of the people who voted. They cheated like crazy. We know that, but most of all *they* know it. They saw it coming waaay before November. Except for a sprinkle of literally incoherently babbling-crazy astroturf (did Y’All see the loon on this article?), comment sections & forums everywhere are filled with disgust for this administration.
They are desperate & dangerous. Bill Ayers & his treasonous cronies are especially desperate because this is their last chance before they die from old age. It’s not going to end well, but their odds of prevailing are almost non existent. (The good news is that America will then be rid of them, once & for all)
Just remember that. They can puff & preen & wallow in their contrivances & delusions, but a lot more people than us know the truth. When they can’t “wait for him to be voted out of office” & their childrens’ lives are at stake, that’s a different story.
I don’t think we need to be throwing money around. It’s a better investment somewhere else. A blackmailer never gets “enough”. (& that’s what Congress has become: extortionists. Sold to the highest bidder). We need to show up, though- calmly, quietly, look them in the eye, & remind them to never gamble more than they are willing to lose. We’re not doing that & that might be urgent.
It’s time to choose.

Subject: Pending Federal Gun Control Legislation
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution clearly establishes the limits of the Government concerning gun control. It was established by our founding fathers to give “We the People” an equal footing with the Government should our Government ever become tyrannical. We are at, or very near that point today.
I, as an American citizen, will not be disarmed! I will not give up my guns to the Government. I will not surrender my Rights to an out of control, despotic government, whose agenda is the destruction of this great nation as we once knew it.
The killings at Sandy Hook by a lunatic were tragic, but it pales in comparison to the murder of more than 3000 children per day to government sanctioned abortion. It pales in comparison to the number of innocent people that were killed in Mexico due to Operation Fast & Furious. It pales in comparison to Waco and Ruby Ridge. Our Government is complicit to murder in the first degree, willful and mindful of the very facts.
I urge you to consider carefully your actions in the forthcoming deliberations on the new Assault Weapons Ban. Magazines, clips, flash suppressors, thumbhole grips, folding stocks, night vision sites, lasers and lights do not make a firearm dangerous. A firearm is no more dangerous than a screwdriver. In the hands of a deranged human being, they are both deadly weapons.
Remember these four words as you cast your votes, “Shall Not Be Infringed”.
Sincerely, Keith P. Momberger
I am on the same page.
The biggest problem is that the Communists have no fear that anything will be done to them. Only when that fear becomes palpable will they back down.
Lawsuits and primaries and money won’t have the desired effect. Knowing that danger is right around the corner will.
“Only when that fear becomes palpable will they back down.”
Agree with you there, especially, but also otherwise. I don’t think money would work even if our resources were pooled (which isn’t to say that people should not donate to the NRA or GOA/ both where they can). I just think that even then, we’d be no match for a Soros type driver.
God Bless Texas. My kid is at Dyess in Abilene. I love visiting him. I would love to move there, and make a stand if it comes to that.
