jackandjill 683 Posted November 27, 2017 As MOST OF AMERICANS agree with me, no body likes guns... sorry, wrong thread. It would be priceless to see certain people reaction if they were to publish stats on how ammo was bought - GAZILLION TRILLION rounds of ammo.. In all seriousness, good job folks. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mossburger 406 Posted November 27, 2017 But is it more people buying guns? Or is it just people who own guns, buying more? What we gun owners need, more than anything, is more PEOPLE who own guns, not people who own more guns. Politically speaking, that is. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that's why I hope every single person who reads this thread has their own 2018 New Shooter Recruitment Plan all mapped out. How many people do you intend to bring to the range monthly? Have you identified who they are? Have you talked it up already (planting the seed)? etc. I believe that may be the single most impactful thing every individual gun owner can do (and should also be a big focus of our 2A groups). If they caught ME on a hot mic instead of Loretta - I'd be saying "recruit - recruit - recruit!!!" 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This, 100% But in all honesty, there are guns in a majority of homes in the US. People just don't broadcast it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted November 29, 2017 The antis claim every time there is talk of a new ban, the 3 percent that own guns go by more, who knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well according to them, anyone who has more than 2 guns in the home is a ticking timebomb with their "arsenal" of ten firearms. If we were to believe their rhetoric of "more guns = more gun deaths" then the chart wouldn't look like this. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they caught ME on a hot mic instead of Loretta - I'd be saying "recruit - recruit - recruit!!!" Don't fret none Mrs. Peel, cause it IS a "big focus" of every 2A group that shares info! In fact, CNJFO just helped to sponsor the Black Bag Resources' Minuteman Challenge down at Ft. Dix Range #14, and we'll be sending guns, ammo & volunteer instructors to Tony Simon's Diversity Shoot at Gun For Hire tomorrow night! Anthony Colandro's famous line, heard both on his podcast & in-person, "EACH ONE, REACH ONE!" is something I've personally been practicing for DECADES!

I agree, I know some that have them, but really don't talk about it unless their with their group of friends. It's almost like they don't mention it because they don't want to get labeled. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackandjill 683 Posted November 30, 2017 Even many liberals have gunz. But they are not just as "assault" as, say, what NRA members have. And ofcourse they are much more responsible than other groups, they care about children more than other groups yada yada yada. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
