Fabs. I don't want to really take this off thread, but the reason we lost our butts in Viet Nam is due to that idiot (strictly my opinion) Lame Brain Johnson. (also signer into law that abortion 1968 gun control law.)
He decided that he knew more than his generals in how to conduct the war. Don't bomb hanoi. Might kill off some Russian and Chinese adisors, piss 'em off and start WW-3. Same with bombing Haiphong Harbor. Sink a few Russian and Chinese ships, and yup, you guess it, start WW-3. China was supplying the NVA over bridges at the Chinese/N. Viet Nam border. Oops! Might knock of few Chinese and start WW-3. Like Adolf Hitler, who also thought he knew more than his generals, Lame Brain also signed into law, Hitler's 1938 (?) gun control law. If you need to know the details, I'll be glad to post them.
PBR felt we should take a softer action against the anti-gun people. The NRA has been doing that since 1934. They compromised on the National Firearms act of 1934 (NFA 34), the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA 68) the Firearms Owners Act of 1986 (FOPA 86) and that gun law of 1994 I forget the exact title.
Adolf Hitler once said, "What good fortune for government that the people do not pay attention." That's part of my signature along with "Compromise is not an option." and "Political correctness is an oxymoron promulgated by morons."
The main problem is in educating the sheeple that gun control is bad. It's very hard to do, considering the liberal media workes as hard as they can to promote gun control. As has been said, the 2nd Amendment ain't about duck hunting. It's the original Homeland Security bill. The militia ain't the National Guard either. A lot of my reference material is not at hand right now as my study is in the process of being remodeled.
So, how do we go about educating the non-shooting public? I try to take out non-shooters top the range and let they try it, should I find one open minded enough or curious enough to see what it's all about. I teach Hunted Ed classes, and try to talk the parents and kids to join the NRA, GOA or one of the other pro gun organizations.
I write my representatives about how I feel one anti-gun legislation. My Senators are fairly reasonable but my Congressrat would like all personal firearms taken away ASAP and all the Mexicans who want to come here illegally be allowed to do so, and be considered legal.
His predecessor was just as bad and I outright asked him if he was a Communist. (JMHO,, but I consider both of them commies.)
