U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- The “March For Our Lives” was a game changer. Many gun owners still don’t see it, but this battle just changed, and it’s not because of the marches. It’s because of what the marches revealed. Clearly, a bunch of high school kids didn’t put together events all over the country. What was revealed is how the Bloomberg millions have been spent and what we now face.
The gun-ban lobby now has big money — more than we have. They also have a huge organization. They had this plan in place and were just waiting to hit the “GO” button. Celebrities gave hundreds of thousands. That doesn’t happen without the right person calling the right person.
One snapshot tells a lot. A friend was in DC that weekend, and he saw kids going into restaurants, each protester carrying a five-dollar bill stapled to a 10-dollar bill. Lunch money. Someone had to get all that cash, put together teams to staple the money together, and have teams distribute it.
Here’s the bottom line. The NRA can not handle this fight. Not alone. YOU have to get involved. That means getting and staying informed. Check on gun news weekly, if not daily. Watch our live videos and follow me on Twitter, where I’m @guntalk. I’ll keep you up to date. You have to join, and get active, in your state gun right groups, even if you think there is no threat where you live. Trust me on this. There are anti-gun bills in your legislature right now. The Bloomberg-funded groups have handed the bills to legislators in every state, and some of those bad bills are being passed into law right now.
“But I have a job and can’t go to the capitol.” “But I don’t have time to stay up on everything that’s going on.” “But won’t the NRA take care of this?”
It’s time to get off our “buts” and get involved. Get committed.
Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens just called for the repeal of the Second Amendment. So, no one wants to take away our guns, right? They just want to take away all our gun rights — and then our guns.
In 50 years of fighting for gun rights, I have never seen a threat this serious. I’ll do everything I can. But we need for all of us do to everything we can. We can win, but not if we aren’t fighting with our time and our money.
If not now, then when? If not you, then who? ~ Tom

I AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR THAT THE PROBLEM OF FUNDING IS GETTING WORSE BECAUSE MOST OF US HAVE BEEN TOO LONG IN FRONT OF THE TV SET BEING LULLED TO DEATH BY THE PROPAGANDA ARM OF THE MEDIA. i AGREE THAT WE HAVE TO SUPPORT ANY ORGANIZATION THAT HAS AS THEIR PURPOSE THE PROTECTION OF OUR RIGHTS AND HERITAGE. HAVING SAID THAT THERE’S TWO WAYS TO LEVEL THE FIELD.RAISING MONEY FOR OUR CAUSE AND PREVENTING THEM FROM USING THEIRS. THE NUMBER OF GUN OWNERS IN THIS COUNTRY CARRY A LOT OF CLOUT AND DON’T EVEN KNOW IT. WHEN A LEFTY… Read more »
Another snot-nosed high school student looking for a little sunshine in his life. He needs to be taken out behind the barn talk to have his butt whipped and then tell explain to him how to get back into the business of being a human being. It seems to me that he only wants to use the Constitution for the parts that will help him get up on there rest of us or get a free dollar from somebody else is black lives rule handshake doesn’t help his image at all.

There’s a nationwide 2A rally at each state capitol for 4/14. Look for it on Facebook:

.
Twenty-five percent participation rate. If I invited twenty people to my barbecue and only four came over, I’d be disappointed. The president, the repubs, and congress better figure out that someone is trying to deceive them. And the pres., the repubs, and congress better figure out that if they diminish our Constitutional Civil Rights, we will not support them in the mid term elections
Did Bloomberg pay for this shooting spree? Is that the question? Because for the life of me I don’t know or understand this being about this little mr. Hogg who by the way looks like a Hitler Commando. Nor it being about gun control. For Heavens sake 17 lives were ended and all everyone is doing is putting this little Hogg in the front of any camera that will turn his way. How stupid are people? There are knives that could be banned, cars that could banned, the lid from my tuna can I just disposed of, hammers, box cutters… Read more »
Be aware they are circulating lists of town hall type meetings Congressional Representatives are holding so they can show up and shout down everybody opposed to their agenda.
They might have the money, but we have the guns.
It seems that the Roseanne show has taken up the conservative banner since Last Man Standing was discontinued. I loved that show and welcome the new Roseanne. Thank God for a combative conservative view from Hollywood. So refreshing.
Look closely at young Mr. Hogg. Looks like he has strings on his arms, as in puppet strings.
