But you may not.
There is one basic fact, though, that we are going to have to face up to, and that is that a lot of the pro-firearms people talk the talk, but don't walk the walk, even to the polling booth.
There was a thread on here recently, that was talking about Kalifornia firearms owners, and the fact that THEY DON'T VOTE.
While I can see the fatalistic attitude of a lot of people out there, given the massive liberal vote, they feel "What the hell, it doesn't matter if I vote or not, cause the *&^^%&* liberals are going to get in anyway, this attiude does not bode well for our cause. It is IMPERATIVE that each and every firearms owner not only register to vote, and vote pro-firearm every time, but make sure that others register and vote as well.
Right now, these bills are going to start coming fast and furious, and the media is going to be reporting EACH AND EVERY shooting that occurs, and spin the hell out of it. You are going to see only one side of the news, and even if you can recognize what actually happened, you are not going to hear, see, or read it in any national media.
It is important, therefore, to realize that if we are going to prevail in this, then we have to stop making one basic error, that I see happen time after time, and that is "PREACHING TO THE CHOIR". It is ok to discuss and debate with those of like thought, but we HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO THE PUBLIC!. No, this is not easy, and it just keeps getting worse, but we HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT. It is imperative not only to get our message out, but to attack full on at any of the "co-enablers" (NEA, AMA, ABA, A lot of misguided LEO's who are stuck with having to support this nonsence because their superiors want the pork to flow in to underfunded departments.)
Try to talk to at least 5 people every day about this, get into debates, hell, get into arguments, but hammer, hammer, hammer. Be up to date with your info. Liberals don't have info, they use statistics. How do you know you've won a point? Easy, once you have a liberal reduced to quoting the same statement 10 times in a row (9 kids a day, "for the chilrun", etc etc), you KNOW you have them going close to the edge. At that point, simply turn to whoever else is present and EXPOSE THE LIBERAL FOR WHAT THEY ARE, mindless automatons who live in fantasyland, and who simply can't function in the real world, because to admit reality, would completely negate their liberal philosophy. They can't take care of themselves, their offspring, or their world, so they try to legislate matters to make them feel that they have done their part to turn the world into a place with rounded, flexible corners, which can't possibly hurt. Again, keep hammering, make sure that everyone knows what the world is actually like. Shove reality right up in their face, until they are reduced to gibberish and talking to themselves, at which point, make sure that you call your local LEO's and report a possible mental case who is dangerous to themselves and others.

Bottom line, take the campaign to them. Know your facts, know a lot of facts and reasoned debate, and use it, every day, the more you do the easier it gets.
