Butter Bean and Orange Dust,
I've been to DC and while it may be cause for a little media attention, about all we end up doing is cleaning up the trash and filth left on the streets by the Washingtonians. I'll tell you straight up that I do not have the answer, but I do have a theory. The only possible way to prevent what now seems the inevitable is to bring the democratic gun owners and shooters on board with this cause. I have shared many hunting camps with staunch democrats and though I have never been able to grasp their ideas or what causes a full-grown American to believe as they do, I have seen democrats rally around the idea of gun ownership.
It will require people with strong commitment and great courage to rally together people of like mind, especially people that can persuade gun owners of all parties to come together and show the incoming government that though they may have barely won this election, they are not in the majority when it comes to gun rights. More Democrats now own guns than ever before and they, too, have little desire to see their recently purchased weapons taken away from them. Their safety and the security of their families are in danger and many democrats are fearful of losing their rights to protect themselves just as are we.
Convincing the people of the other side that the dangers of the slippery slope they are treading upon will not be easy, but it is one opportunity to show that there is still overwhelming support for gun ownership in this country.
I have never been a leader and due to my age and lack of good health, I can only agree to assist in any way I am able. There are those of you who know leaders and organizers that can put together organizations that could unite from across this country to show that the people of this country are not ready to give up our weapons. Think of the Tea Party Movement, only larger and stronger. Gun control will be the disillusion of gun ownership in this country.
