This is a good article. So many people don’t know how bad things were in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s. Between Bush Sr. and Clinton, we really almost lost the 2nd Amendment. It was a brutal fight, federally and locally. We managed to hold the line and lay the groundwork for what is happening today. But back then, were were outnumbered and overwhelmed. And NRA only had about a million members.
I was delighted to see NRA come to Atlanta. There were rumors they would come here 30 years ago, but plans were cancelled because of the radical anti-gun policies of Mayor Maynard Jackson. Since then, with statewide preemption in place and Georgia gun owners more powerful than ever, the NRA came. And it is not only a great show, but evidence of the momentum 2nd Amendment supporters are developing.
We have made great progress in the last 40 years with more good things to come.
Great overview...
Thanks.
Keep us posted!
I drove from Georgia to Colorado about 25 years ago, probably followed your route part of the way.
Really really true...Trump is going to fight for our rights...
I’ll feel a whole lot better when Trump appoints at least one more SCOTUS as well as district appointments. Judicial relief is about the only hope us folks out in anti-2a states have. I’m not seeing much help from congress yet.
Here is the latest from the Oregon gun grabbers.
Senate Bill 719A is currently scheduled for a vote in the Oregon Senate on May 1st. You will recall that this bill started life as a bill requiring the State Court Administrator to study methods to improve efficiency.
In its current form, this bill will allow the police to confiscate your firearms because a police officer or household member accused you of being dangerous. You can lose your guns if you have purchased a "deadly instrument" in the last 180 days. You can lose your guns if you get a DUI. (But oddly you get to keep your car.)
This bill is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation the anti-gunners have ever dreamed up. It allows a family member to have a person's property and rights taken by force by the police and then assumes that even though that person is very dangerous, the people who made these accusations can live safely with the person who had his right taken. It's complete madness.
