Quite a promise. More than a promise, it is a formula for smaller government.
In my last edition, Safer Streets 101: Only you have the power, I pointed out that only you can make things happen and turn around the idea of bigger government.
David Codrea mentioned taking a new person shooting. It's very good advice for several reasons. You learn more about liberty and your sovereignty from gun owners than you ever will from your public servants, including so-called educators. You'll learn more about civics, more about due process, and more about sovereignty from gun owners than from so-called educators. And you'll learn it right.
Pledge this to yourself in a 2010 New Year's Resolution: to learn more about the connection between the second amendment and all of harassment of you and your family from bigger government. Once you see the connection between disarmament and belligerence from public servants, you will see how fighting for the gun rights of others is to fight for all of your own rights. 2010 can be a wonderful year for regaining the freedom of your children, since your freedoms are almost nearly lost. You may not feel it, but your kids' rights were first endangered when your rights were first endangered over the last few decades. Gun control took not only your guns, but also your knowledge and independence from our own servants. Pledge to get them back.
