The Network is a place to coordinate the efforts of all the 2A groups and for people who are interested in working to protect the 2A to find others who are laboring in the cause. Most of us who are working to protect the 2A are members of several groups.
Some groups lobby and politic. Some groups educate. Some groups do a combination of these things. The beauty of joining and working in multiple groups is the multiplying effect of your membership.
The anti-civil rights forces have done this for years. They count the membership of all their groups like there was no overlap. In fact, most members of radical anti-civil rights groups like HCA (or whatever they are calling themselves today) are also members of other extremist anti- civil rights groups like the VPC. More than 90% of SUSSA's members are members of at least two other groups including the TRT.
No single group can do everything. I've never heard a leader of a pro-Second Amendment group say there are too many groups. They welcome the help, and in my experience, have been very encouraging to new groups.
I foresee the Task Force becoming a central point for people to gather information, find 2A groups that are doing work they want to get involved in, and a place for ALL 2A groups to let Freepers know what they are working on at the moment. I would like to see every pro-Second Amendment group from the NRA on down involved in the Task Force so we can increase our effectiveness and not duplicate efforts. We need to take a page from the anti-civil rights extremists. There is a multiplying effect that comes from multiple groups coordinating their efforts that can never be matched by just one group.
Well, ya know, it's not like we haven't been acting as a task force already...just trying to create a network where pro-2A FReepers can act as a group, bringing their varied experiences to the table as we all attempt to turn us into the best 2A activism coalition we can be!

1) I know women who support the 2nd Amendment who've actually had guns put to their heads and had been violenced upon in the worst conceivable ways. They are most courageous when it comes to appearing before councils, town hall meetings, and also the media, and they tell of those experiences. And they well understand that owning a firearm very well ensures a woman against being victimized in such a fashion a second time.
2) Hmmmmm!!
I hope you will permit this particular Task Force to use information from your website pertinent to our mission?
The artist prefers to remain anonymous, but it's a terrific Logo Overall With Breathtaking Ridges. It's Definitely Great Entertainment.
