Someone needs to go “Henry Bowman” on this guy.....I would like to see the “Senator treatment” mentioned in the book

Both ends? What a player!

He looks like a Commie insurgent to me. His mother and family *trapped* in North Korea? Right!

Government guns kill civil society, Harold Hongju Koh, you ass, guns in the hands of citizens protect it.

Just ask Neda and the Iranian cicilians.

Eyewitness Account to Slaughter in Iran 6/24/2009

While brave Iranians are slaughtered in the street by their own government as they seek liberty, Obama "considers" disinviting Iranian officials to American 4th of July celebration.

Meanwhile, they are axing students to death.

From wikipedia:
Civil society is composed of the totality of voluntary civic and social organizations and institutions that form the basis of a functioning society as opposed to the force-backed structures of a state (regardless of that state's political system) and commercial institutions of the market.

(In other words, my volunteering for my gun club is strengthening civil society, his efforts to increase the power of government is not.)

You can't build a voluntary social organization from a population who has no ability to say no.

Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens keeps society civil.

Very well said.

I might try to print it out and slap in on my truck so the polesmokers who run around in their SUVs with Obama stickers may learn something.

You can't build a voluntary social organization from a population who has no ability to say no.

And yet, that's exactly what they're building. Imagine buying a new truck and having a big, fat, carbon tax added to the sticker? Or any appliance that gobbles-up watts? Then telling the salesperson you're not going to pay it because you don't believe in global warming?

No wonder this guy feels the way he does about guns, he hails from the land of giant termite colonies where individualism was wiped out centuries ago. Amazing how little common sense is displayed by those with pricey academic credentials.

E-mail replies are different from postal form letters as they can be automatically read and filtered, or at least statistically analyzed. I was referring to snail mail form letters. So the Bradybots may be evil, but they aren’t stupid. Dollar for dollar and ‘member’ for ‘member’ they are more effective than the NRA, but then they get millions of dollars in free advertising from the mainstream media.

I did listen to you. I’ve also listened to staffers in our state legislature when they’ve been buried by organized pro-2nd amendment lobbying efforts. The weight of the postcards sent a message that they were being watched and held accountable. Phone calls are even better.

Your advice is good for the more dedicated, and I acknowledged that. Do you have any constructive criticism of my advice?

Friend, I was articulating the values of the people you claim to be trying to influence, not my own. And I stated out front that being counted as part of an organized pro-2nd amendment lobbying effort isn’t the only way to go. I wish more people had the energy to put their own personal stake into the battle.

LibTeeth is short for Liberty Teeth. Do I have to explain that or would it matter?

I never said the form letter was the only way to go. Read my post again. If you want to disagree with my characterization of entrenched political professionals, then we have something to discuss as to the most effective way to preserve the Republic.

Your characterization of liberalism (socialism) is naive; it is based on coercive force. Everything else (going along to get along) is a smoke screen, a con. Which is why the commies push to disarm the people even when it costs them votes.

Sorry to trouble you with discourse. That last line was pretty funny though.

I need a template..... please.... I want to write, but don’t know exactly what to say. I’m a gun owner, and advocate.
