Your Activism is having an Impact,
but it’s no Time to Let Up!


Take time this Good Friday to give thanks for His many blessings
“It now should be clear who is winning - indeed, who has won - the latest skirmish in the gun control wars.” - Roll Call, March 28, 2013​
Just a couple of months ago, many in our nation’s capital thought that new gun control restrictions were inevitable.
But now, here we are at the end of March, and the gun grabbers are dispirited and in retreat:
* Roll Call newspaper said yesterday that gun control supporters are “poised to fail, yet again, in their efforts to pass significant new legislation.”
* Senator Dianne Feinstein said she is “disappointed” that her gun ban is no longer part of the base bill that is going to the Senate floor. "I tried my best,” she said last week, “but my best, I guess, wasn't good enough."
* Anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg admitted he’s “frustrated” that Congress has not taken action on gun control he supports. So much so, he is now taking matters into his own hands by spending $12 million of his own money to run ads in various states.
But bad news for Bloomberg: the Roll Call newspaper reported on Tuesday there are signs “that Bloomberg’s lobbying campaign may not change minds in the next two weeks, even for the senators who are being specifically targeted.”
* ABC News pundit Terry Moran lamented this week that, “The only votes that have really been taken since Newtown have weakened gun control.” This was a reference to the Lee and Inhofe amendments that GOA alerted you to earlier this week.
While only the Inhofe anti-UN amendment passed, the Lee amendment - to immensely raise the bar for passing gun control to a 2/3 vote in the Senate - did muster a majority.
* And more groaning could be heard from the chief gun grabber in the Senate - Chuck Schumer of New York - who said, earlier this month, how “it’s sad” that all his efforts to lure a pro-gun Senator into supporting a “compromise” on background checks have resulted in failure thus far.
It is clear that we have had a lot of help. And to be sure, your activism is having an impact! No one on the Left thought that by the end of March, their forces would be in full retreat.
But it’s certainly no time to let up! We can still be stabbed in the back by other gun groups or “honorable” legislators. So we need to stay alert - just like the Minute Men of old -- being ready to fire off messages to our legislators in a moment’s notice.
Having said that, it’s encouraging to step back and consider where we are right now. No one in the Senate (including Democrats) thinks the Feinstein gun ban can pass. Senator Schumer has given up hope that the Universal Gun Registry can muster a majority. And the Lee amendment (mentioned above) shows how a filibuster could very well keep ALL gun control from coming to the floor.
In regard to that filibuster threat, we are very thankful to Republican Senators Rand Paul (KY), Ted Cruz (TX) and Mike Lee (UT) for taking the lead on this effort.
Again, GOA wants to thank you, our activists, for taking action on our alerts ... for Link Removed to your friends and family, thereby increasing the number of ground troops that we have in this fight ... for “liking” GOA on Facebook, thus exposing our message to even more of your acquaintances ... forLink Removed, allowing us to wage the battle against background checks and other gun control the way GOA’s Erich Pratt did earlier this week at the end of his debate on the Lou Dobbs show ... and for much, much more.
So as much of the country celebrates Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday this weekend, the GOA staff wants to wish you a Happy Holiday ... and to be ready to get back to work next week to fight any potential compromises that may be in the works!

AMEN..Now we need to kick it up a notch as they are not going to give up and we must fight.....All they are looking for is a small opening to get their foot in....
 
patriots have to be ever vigilant for the enemies of our country will never give up, can you think of one issue that they've been beaten on that they haven't come back to try and force down our throats?
 
KEEP DRIVING EM
KEEP PUSHING
The last time we fought off tyranny, we shot at them and kicked them out.
This time, we have to do the symbolic equivalent of pursuing them across the damn ocean, drive them in front of us and trample them until they're all gone. Leave no chance for a Piers damn Morgan to haunt us centuries later!
(And calm down, DHS. I said 'symbolic equivelant'. Put the phone down and stop crying.)

Feinstein, Schumer, man I've watched these two so long, when they start saying stuff like this, like "ohh well, i guess we're beat this time", it is COMPLETELY out of character. They don't have these sentiments in their repertoires. It's total bunk to get us to back off.
We gotta batter the grabbers so bad this time, god won't recognize them.
Keep it coming, gentlemen.

Absolutely right as usual 2Awarrior. Schumer and Feinstein are like rabid animals, they don't stop trying to bite because they think time is against them. They just keep coming JUST LIKE US. They will never stop, they will never give up. We will always have to fight them and those like them, STAY VIGILANT!!!!
 
Once the "Battle Is Won" Our voices must be unified for universal education. The real battle is over Facts VS. Fiction.
To "Win The War" the public at large has to know with out a doubt what the facts are. This way they don't get fooled again.
1st fact is that Responsible Gun Owners are just that, Responsible. The Facts speak to Safe, Legal, and Responsible Gun owners accounting for such a small % of Gun crime the statistic is all but non-existent.
Education as to where Gun Violence stems from, generally the mentally ill.
Education as to what real mental illness is so that at no time can any administration claim that mental illness is anything but what it really is.

No matter what you are looking at that has failed, it is generally due to poor training or the lack of education.
Perpetuating lies and other falsehoods as facts cannot be accepted by society. The real facts speak for themselves.
We are responsible gun owners and our weapons are safe.

Unfortunately most non gun owners believe what they see in movies and shows. Which bare very little with reality of what guns are capable of. Like a shotgun clearing a room or a pistol knocking a person back through a wall. They also believe everything the gun grabbers say on talk and news shows!
They need reliable information!
 
The delivery of reliable information is the key. Fact based information distributed from a trusted source, with no bias.
The difficulty is the "No Bias". We as a society have become very divided on so many issues that in general we trust only those in our circle. Sometimes those in our very own circle are either misinformed or have their own agenda. Take a gun owner like Mr. Kelly. I can look at what happened to his wife and understand why he may feel no one other than himself should own a gun. He is fearful. He knows only his own heart and his own intent. He has lost faith in others because of what he has experienced. Its easy to understand if you can put yourself in his shoes. His time around other responsible gun owners will help to restore his faith. I Hope.

As gun owners we need trusted voices delivering the factual news to those who are on the fence about gun ownership or completely against it.
I have taken several people from my place of employment to the range in recent months. It is amazing when you coach a non shooter through the ins and outs of the range, the weapon, the ammunition, and all the safe handling expectations that come from a range. Not only do they have a good time learning to shoot (Typically we will shoot 200 rounds of .45 and 200 rounds of 9mm), but they come away with a great respect for the experience.
The range I typically use has a great mix of men, women, and children all shooting safely and having a positive experience.
Pay It Forward. I pay for the ammunition and we use my guns, they pay their way into the range. I clean my own guns afterwards.
If each of us took one person safely to the range we could convert a lot of people. We can and will win even if its one person at a time.
I am always very careful about how I speak of guns and shooting when around others. Here in the forum I speak of my .45 taking chunks out of stuff, and it does. When in public my .45 is a great choice for self defense, period. Your choice of Words matter.
