Politicians don't do things because they're the right thing to do, they do them because there's something in it for them, i.e. votes or fundraising. What we need to do is convince politicans that they will gain votes and secure their positions by supporting pro-gun laws.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-1152556102628726502006-07-10T12:28:00.000-06:002006-07-10T12:28:00.000-06:00I believe one of the reasons our "offense" is weak...I believe one of the reasons our "offense" is weak, rests with the length of time the "Elmer Fudd" contingent of the shooting world were the ones actually in charge of things. I am not an insider but it still sounds like they still have way too much influence in that industry community. <BR/><BR/>They (Fudd's) finally lost control of the NRA I think, they are loosing control at the local level Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-1152555704780129842006-07-10T12:21:00.000-06:002006-07-10T12:21:00.000-06:00Michael I too remember when we had far more gun fr...Michael I too remember when we had far more gun freedom in this nation than we have today.<BR/><BR/>Most of the guns in my family were purchased through the mail.
