I sent this to the NRA on Monday:

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I am one of your ILA volunteers here in Pennsylvania. I am also retired from the marketing communications field and I do stay current on a variety of issues both national and international.

Aside from the latest tragedy in Connecticut and the predictable meme we will hear from the gun-grabbers and media, one of the subtle messages that the left has successfully implanted in the narrative is that guns are used primarily for hunting and target practice. The latest carrier of this message is Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

The elephant in the room that no one, including the NRA, has had the courage to publically vocalize is that the Second Amendment isn’t about deer hunting. It’s about a free people having the tools that it needs not only for individual self-defense in the home or elsewhere, but to protect itself against a tyrannical government.

I submit that what you will see, and are seeing now, is a concerted global effort to disarm the American people. Our enemies, including China and Iran, are already calling on the liberal Marxists in our government to effect a national disarmament.

As a local spokesperson for the NRA, I would like to see the NRA get in front of this issue and provide people in the field like myself with an intelligent, coherent message that we can take to our Congressional representatives, and let them know that we will not stand by peacefully and let the federal government destroy our 2nd Amendment rights.

Approval of Congress and politicians in general is at an all-time low. We have a struggling economy with a lot of people out of work. Our nation as a whole is virtually spiritually bankrupt, as evidenced by the leaders we have chosen.

If the NRA is going to be relevant in the days to come, I suggest you begin to get a coherent plan together to change the dangerous discourse that is flooding the media and beginning to turn public opinion against gun owners.
