Here is another approach: Promote hunting/shooting sports to show how interesting and how much fun it can be. Once you help a person become a gun owner, you automatically have another supporter of the Second Amendment.

Case in point:

"Promote hunting/shooting sports to show how interesting and how much fun it can be."

That's a great idea, Al!

Joe, if you would be so kind as to use your 8 gauge scattergun ping list to alert those I've missed, I'd appreciate it:

ALL TEXANS - MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

THE JULY SHOOT-OUT AT NEW BRAUNFELS!

JULY 19TH AT NOON AT THE HOWARD DIETZ RIFLE RANGE.

STEAKS AND LOBSTER TAILS WILL BE SERVED AROUND SIX!

BRING THE FAMILY! ENJOY A DAY OF SHOOTING AND FUN WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER TEXAS!

We'll have more guns than any person can get around to shooting in one day, including some very unusual guns that you might not get a chance to shoot for the rest of your life!

We'll have both handguns and long guns and plenty of ammo for both!

There is no alcohol allowed until after the shoot, and we'll have a gun safety instructor there for a refresher in range safety.

THIS EVENT IS SPONSORED BY THE HOUSTON AREA TEXANS OF FREEREPUBLIC.
THE ONLY CHARGE FOR THOSE OUTSIDE OF HOUSTON IS THE RANGE FEES.

(Charlie, I'm working on that full auto permission!)

That's the wisest approach, of course- 20 or 30 years from now I'll be gumming pablum in a home- we need to recruit new, young enthusiasts to the cause.
