DiFi has made her move...check. Now it's our turn.
Part of the problem we have in defending Second Amendment rights in this country is in the intensity displayed on either side of the argument. We have to match their intensity. We play the game on defense, allowing the left to call for our murder, propose draconian bans on regular arms, and push for un-Constitutional remedies while we try to defend instead of matching their effort. This is how they keep creeping the ball toward their goal inch by inch as we compromise our milquetoast efforts with their ravenous zeal. NO MORE. I'm tired of being pushed and it's time to push back. The BLOOD OF OUR ANCESTORS DEMANDS IT.
Since Feinstein and Pelosi have laid down their agenda for gun control, we must also articulate plans and legislation that move the ball in our direction... back toward the true meaning of what a well regulated militia really is.
This means we should be looking at 1) rolling back gun laws that have failed, like the '94 assault weapons ban and the 1968 GCA 2) expanding CCW in every state and every locale 3)establishing better reciprocity between state for greater ease of personal firearm travel 4)educating the masses of the true meaning of the Second Amendment 5)actually calling forth the militia from time to time to establish lines of communication and protocols for its' use 6)looking at state laws that restrict law-abiding citizens of their rights. I was amazed to learn in my state I could not carry a loaded .22 in my car!!!
With this in mind, we should be establishing a series of steps to move toward a nation of responsible, armed citizens as was established 200 years ago.
Step One, to my mind, is to immediately declare the Gun Free School Zones Act a failure, and introduce legislation to repeal it.
Step Two is to pass a sense of the House resolution that acknowledges before the nation that the Second Amendment is NOT about hunting, or even home protection, but is the guarantee that the People will always be armed as protection against standing armies and tyrannical, criminal government.
Future steps will reveal themselves and should also be taken on a state by state basis, but should be just as bold, and shift the debate back into the center where it belongs...stop playing on THEIR side of the field.
With this in mind, I call for one or more Republican Congressmen or Senators to introduce the Repeal of the GFSZA and Purposes of the Second Amendment Act as soon as possible.
That's where we come in. Let's get on the phone's, and get these officials to act. Do you want to fight the socialists now, in the media, and on the phones, and in the halls of Congress, or do you want to fight them later in your front yard when they come to confiscate the very tools of your existence as free men?
I really like this idea!
Another of their favorites is ending "three strikes" laws. Too many of their "root constituencies" are ending up incarcerated for life, in which state they cannot vote (or at least not easily).
You are correct. The libs own the use of words. We must start by not using their terms.
No longer use the term assualt weapon. (All weapons are assualt weapons.) We must start using the term Defensive rifle.
But alas, the media will never allow the use of terms not of their design.

Sgt Danny Nightingale is mounting a challenge in the Court of Appeal to his conviction for being in possession of a Glock pistol and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
He already faces a legal bill of more than £100,000 for the appeal over his sentence, which reduced the 18 months’ military detention imposed by a court martial to a 12-month suspended sentence.
Sgt Nightingale, an SAS sniper, had been given a pistol by members of an Iraqi special forces unit that he helped to train.
We have the same law in Indiana but I have yet to see someone open carry.
When push comes to shove, an organized militia will be the only/best answer to these statist gun-grabbers, but organization and resistance had better happen muy pronto, or there won’t be a snowball’s chance in hell to preserve the Second Amendment. If anyone thinks the Second Amendment will be preserved through politics, he/she is dreaming.
I will join you. I would also add that we take seriously responsibilities like gun safety training and keeping guns secure when not in use.
Good point, and well made...
IMHO, you are both right and make good points...How to proceed?
We should concentrate immediate efforts to stop their current grab as you point out, and once that’s stopped then concentrate on roll back as ez suggests...
Humble suggestion: The key is a full court press to stop the grab, and then rollback with our pro-2nd Amendment Reps and Senators...Hold their feet to the fire...
What’s that the pols say? “When I feels the heat, I sees the light...” Or some such...Keep up the pressure...
A letter is considered by the pols to be worth several phone calls or emails because of the effort involved...
Letters to my Rep and Senators go out Monday morning, backed up with phone calls...
Another dimension of the “Soap Box”...
Our “Ballot Box” efforts have failed us for now...So let’s exhaust the “Soap Box” before we turn to talk of the “Cartridge Box”...
I am hoping my representative wants to make a name for himself on this issue. We’ll find out soon enough.
A letter it is then. I have no recourse in the Senate with Schumer and Gillibrand...they are quintessential socialist gun-grabbers.
Don’t let this monster’s influence escape CA!
If someone has served their time, paid their debt to society in full, what right does the government have to prevent him or her from exercising their basic fundamental right to keep an bear arms?
Now, it is any firearm that has one (1) characteristic of a "military style" from which Americans will be prohibited from possessing. God help a single Republican who votes in favor of this proposed gun control bill that Fienstien admits they have been working on for more than one (1) year! That should tell every American exactly what is really going on! The socialist were just waiting for a shooting the could exploit to push their never ending gun control legislation! 82nd ABN Div. 1/508th BN
