Wishing and hoping and writing will not change the laws. The conservatives need to stand up and replace every gun grabbing democrat and rino politician in Oklahoma and in America.
Wishing and hoping, no. Writing by itself, maybe not. But real grass-roots organization of concerned citizens contacting - writing, calling, personal visits - and working with our legislators can! I know, because I have seen it happen. OK2A (Oklahoma Second Amendment Association) has actually been pretty effective in this.
