We need to stop playing defense and force the GOP to go on the offense on multiple fronts and force them to lose control.

1) Allow all CCW holders direct shipments of firearms, since they have already passed State and Federal background checks. OK, a sop would be to still fill out the 4473 to send in with the order (for now - small steps, small steps). Granted, some gun dealers would be against it because of the loss of their $25 "handing fee" - and some states, because of the lost "fee" for running the checks, but "into each like a little rain . . ."

2) Allow all CCW holders to buy handguns in any state since, as above, they have passed all checks.

Those two proposals ought to have the libs running around like the proverbial headless chicken.

Ask your Congressman and Senator to sponsor/support these bills - even the antis, just to raise their blood pressure.

Hell I don’t have any problems with felons having guns as long as they’ve served their time. Maybe we should stop releasing truly dangerous felons early.

The guy who killed the firemen on Christmas should have never see the outside of a prison after beating his own grandmother to death with a hammer.

You're right! Why should WE be on the defense. Let's throw the changes in the law back in their faces. Start by petitioning our representatives to repeal the 1968 Gun Control Act, and every successive law and regulation which was made to attempt to ‘make it work.’ I propose:

“A National Remilitarization Act

Whereas, the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution does not limit nor specify the arms which the people have the right to keep and bear, and

Whereas, the Militia by law includes every able-bodied man between the ages of 17 and 45, unless otherwise designated by the individual states, and by implication every able-bodied citizen,

Be it enacted: that any US Citizen, enlisted or enrolled in any state militia, Sheriffs Posse, State, County or municipal police auxiliary, police reserve, or constabulary, and or state emergency management agency Community Emergency Response Team, shall be allowed to own, keep, bear and if occasioned, use any military weapon or equipment what-so-ever.

Moreover, if such weapons or equipment has been deactivated or demiliterized, said militia member may restore it to fully operating condition, at his own expense, or at the expense of the militia unit to which he belongs”.

Meanwhile, all of you, go out and join your State Guards, your Sheriff's’ Posses, your State, County or Local police reserves, your Community Emergency Response Teams, whatever. If you belong to a reenactment unit, petition to have it declared to be a part of your state militia. Take a clue from 'Joe Hill'; "Get out and organize."
