AmenWhy are people relying on them??
They are important to the "food chain", yes...
But, ultimately, it's ALL the people who have to take responsibility for our own rights.
It starts with letting the critters know, but it has to continue through action. Become active as your own advocate.
If we rely on others, we're only doing half the job. Let your officials know. Sure. But also get your memberships' money's worth. Get on the horn to NRA, SAF, GOA. MSI and AGC are already in the fight, and need support, donations, and volunteers.
Get people together and make an appointment to see your local reps. Show up on 10/1. SOMETHING.
Any option is better than nothing, but anyone who just says "do something" and waits for others to act? Not gonna cut it.
