They didn't waste any time:

Jim Moran is laughable. The same guy who beat his wife, (then got divorced right after), physically accosted a small child, whose son ran his campaign and conspired to commit massive voter fraud by forging utility bills, and then, whose same son beat his girlfriend to a pulp outside of a bar last month and got away with no jail time.

 

This is the congressman that is going dare place restrictions on law abiding citizens? He and his family can't keep their hands to themselves, and they have police protecting them 24/7. Our guns have hurt less people than his family's fists. what a joke

This is an important fight. No one knows how this will go. Can you imagine if McCarthy's online ammo sales bill passed? No more buying cheap ammo off the internet, because the politico shitheads think you'll order some and throw it at children, thereby causing massive explosions and lead poisoning. Not to mention it would require dealers to record large sales, so buy a brick of .22 and now you're on the list! We need to fight this. If anyone hasn't yet contacted our respresentatives (hell even the ones suggesting this crap), please do so. They need to know that we do not approve of this.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. These people don't care what you say.You email them, they exercise their delete key. You mail them, they exercise their shredder, or respond with a heartless form letter. They have entire rooms of like minded people dedicated to laughing at your letters that you send them.

 

Put cameras in their faces. Follow them everywhere. Ask them why their lives (protected by security) are more valuable than a regular citizen. Ask them to disarm their entire security detail to comply with what they ask of the citizens. Get them on tape, and spread that online. It is a million times more effective then sending them emails they do not read or care about.

 

One of them is bound to F up. They will either blow up on you, they will (never ) agree to actually disarm, all that's left is a solid video of them running away and avoiding you, or them actually arguing cops and politicians need guns. Now you have footage of a politician on the record saying some lives are more valuable than others, some people are above the law. Do it to every single congressman or senator who writes or supports these bills. Every single state. Find their homes, find their offices, tape them 24/7, never stop asking the questions. Then package that footage to youtube and watch it percolate.

the traditional press has failed America. We all know they serve their narrative and nothing else. But we are blessed with the freedom of Youtube, email, and social networks.

 

It's our job to police the public. Anyone that supports these measures, have a camera on them 24/7. They do not breathe, without being asked about why they are above the law. They should not be able to walk to a car or into a building with a moment's peace

Luso, I feel the same way. They dont give a flying fugg how much we email, send snail mail, or call. They simply do not care.

Think about it, if you were them (the menendezs and lautenbergs of the world) why should you care?? They are in a states or districts that are so skewed to their party, they don't have to listen.

 

The media is now a vanguard for the state. We can not rely on them to do their job. They are actually working actively against us.

 

Please, waste little time with emails. Take your iPhone camera and walk up to one of these clowns. They control what they say in their prepared statements, and the stenographers in the press diligently copy and relay their message. The only way you get them off their game is on your terms. One video and an internet connection is all it takes to change the world these days.

H.R. 137 and 138 from McCarthy would require people prohibited from buying firearms to be listed in a national database, and would prohibit the transfer or possession of large capacity ammunition clips.

 

You mean, like, um, the NICS database?

"And Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) proposed a bill that would prevent anyone under age 21 from carrying a handgun"

 

Isn't that already the case?

Isn't that already the case?

 

In most states 18-21 year olds can buy handguns FTF, just they can't get them from an FFL.

Are you sure about that?

We knew it was coming. Buckle up, buttercup!

 

So since a few psychopaths use firearms to slaughter innocent people, our legislators decide it's a good idea to take guns away from tens of million law abiding citizens, who by defiinition are the most carefully vetted members of society, as we've all been through criminal background and mental health checks.

 

By those standards, since a few drivers get drunk and kill people with their cars, we should consider banning cars. Or maybe we should ban alcohol. Oh wait, that's been tried before, and from what I've heard, it didn't work out real well.

Completely agree with you. Letters and emails give us the feeling that we are trying to do something, but in essence it is doing nothing. Maybe the NRA should pay people to walk around and video tape and interview the politicians throughout the country. Heck, there are MILLIONS of unemployed people, betcha many of them would love to earn a buck and really do something usefull!

Unfortunately I must agree also, but still our voices must be heard even if it's just a muffled scream in the gathering storm. The people has spoken with the re election of Obama and these very same people will have no qualms in giving the feel good politicians permission to erode our rights.

Agree. We MUST contact reps, even if it falls on deaf ears. That's the way our country works. And when the day comes when the letter-writing stops.... that is also the way our country works.

 

The attitude of "eh, why bother, I'll just wait until 'the end' and then start shooting" really annoys me.

Not waiting 'till the end. Just spent an hour writing a letter (email) to a local newspaper. It will be interesting to see where that goes, if anywhere. I'll be suprised to get a written response back.

 

Now I will start writing to any and all of our local and state politicians I can find addresses for. Anyone have links to find these addresses and make it easier for us to help in this fight?

There a number of links on the S&W forum and I've been nailing each one.

No one said to wait and do nothing. I never said that.

 

And don't say "the NRA should do X" they won't do anything either. They will fight legal battles, (the ones they think they can win typically). I say this as an NRA member. I know what my money goes to, and it is little to do with activism. Don't say THEY should do it, WE should do it.

 

Take your iPhone, wait outside a congressional office. Get 5 of your friends to do the same. You follow these clowns 24/7 from multiple angles without stopping the bombardment of on camera questions. if it isn't recorded, it never happened. In this generation, video is the end-all be all. Nothing is fact until it is recorded.

 

You have a politician like Menendez avoiding multiple constituents on camera refusing to talk to them, and then publish it, that is 10xs more effective than writing stupid emails they don't even respond to. The alternative media will then take your video and run with it.

 

You have to force them to make a very difficult decision. If you approach them with a camera with intelligent questions, they know they can't answer. They can't answer because their questions are inherently hypocritical (even more glorious if you get stopped, BY COPS WITH GUNS, from being able to approach them. That is worth it's weight in gold)

 

They will either run away from you, skirt you, or say some generic irrational answer that has NOTHING to do with what you said. You think these jerks are going to admit they are hypocrites? never.

 

There is literally no answer they can give you if you ask the right questions, where the answer makes them look good. We have the advantage in being correct. They are inherently wrong. TAKE ADVANTAGE.

 

I feel like people think its therapeutic to blast off an electronic message and then you kick up your feet and pat yourself on the back. It does absolutely nothing. Meanwhile in our complacency of self-congratulation of having written a few dumb emails, they are busy eroding our most important rights. I wrote my letters to all my reps, and now I am working diligently to capture these people in their lies. You all should do the same. Nothing illegal: just be direct, and shove a camera in their face 24/7. Make them feel the heat.
