Sorry that the post was not profesionally put up. But the major point of this story is that the fine Citizens of Lincoln Nebraska that have ever been convicted of any of the 19 Misdemeanors can never possess guns again! Police Cheif Tom Casady is largely responsible for this proposed legislation. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.

Byron, that's surely a good letter!

Super, first off, I see Lincoln's got about 250,000 people, so it is by my reckoning a fairly big town-- how is your local talk radio? Pretty active? That's a good place to start a grassroots campaign. Gather your friends, get some talking points together ( but try to keep it simple, and diverse- Byron's letter is a good springboard.) Attack it from every angle everyone can think up. It doesn't matter how off-the-wall it sounds- the idea is to make people start thinking and question "this new, wonderful cure for all our problems..."

Don't overlook letters to editors- not just the local papers- anything in print. Magazines, tourist guides, University publications- anything that lies around waiting to be read is fair game.

Try to get outside organizations interested in your cause- just off the top of my head:

http://www.saf.org/

Run a web search for local/regional groups interested in the 2nd Amendment, too... hunters groups, trapshooters, target shooters-- dare I suggest gay groups, like the Pink Pistols? You take whatever allies you can find in a fight like this, sort 'em out later!

Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.

I came up with a little something. It oughta bear fruit sometime around the end of next week, Friday or Saturday. Check back with me then, and let's keep this post going until then, and spread the word.

Super Mak90kid, don't you apologize for the format or appearance of your post again; you got the job done, and THAT's the part that counts. Now watch what happens from here.
