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

The best thing said in this article is that we have to get involved. whitehouse.gov
If more firearms regulation, then no support at the mid term. If national concealed carry, then no second term.
Simple, effective, cost free.
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.
Exactly, this is the political agenda. Right, Left, it doesn’t matter. Reality, most politicians won’t fight this because they and the rest of the ultra elite will be the only ones able to afford armed private security.
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.
Since when do adults who, because they are adults, have and exercise responsibility, listen to children about how to run things? The place for children is to be seen and not heard, and that’s because they don’t usually have anything worthwhile to say. Put the ear buds back in, go home and do your homework, and shut up. Most children today can’t put two words together to make sense, much less provide complicated solutions to complicated problems. Clearly some one is manipulating them into the yelling and shouting they are doing and providing the money and organization to allow them… Read more »
@Joe, Had the little propagandist took your advice, he might have gotten accepted in some collect, somewhere.
Oppps. Should be college not collect. Damn spell check.
The author is painfully correct, each and every one of us NEED to do the work of preserving, advocating for the Our rights.
If you aren’t involved in the public, with the next generation and other seemingly non-2A related activities then you are leaving our flank unprotected. Join the local Kiwanis club, Lions, rotary, VFD because those clubs are battlefields for our rights.
We need to continue to fund what groups we can that can gather the evidence (pictures of the stapled $15?) of unseen hands trying to alter our nation.
As an NRA member for many years, I’ve not displayed an NRA sticker on my car for fear of lefty zealots deciding to vandalize it. I now have a large sticker on the back window and carry everyday. I will no longer hide my acceptance of the second amendment, and just hope that no one gets too stupid about my right to display my beliefs. It would not go well for them.
Teens his age die at a rated of 11 per day., Over 300,000 injuries per year. This number does not include their victims. I drive on interstate in rural NC a lot and on Good Friday, many in this age group pass me driving 80-90 miles per hour, driving with their knees, and texting. If they are so concern for their safety, why don’t they raise awareness to teen deaths while texting.
Has anyone else noticed that when this kid has his fist raised and with the look in his eye, his appearance is very similar to Adolf Hitler except his fist is clenched. Their desires for disarming the citizens, silencing his opposition and controlling the masses are definitely the same. Scary isn’t it.
Chieftain: This kid(?) Is a “nutcase” of the highest order! I have not seen any info on his parents, and he’s been denied admission to four “liberal” universities. By his appearance, he could go postal at anytime. Something really smells with this jerk!
This is this kid’s 15 minutes of fame. I’m sure he is passionate about preventing school shootings, but he is uneducated regarding the facts surrounding “gun control”. There is a difference between increasing security at schools vs disarming all citizens because of the actions of a few bad apples.

Just heard from Meathead ( Archie Bunkers son in law)
WOW ! Talk about off the Rails . He claims that due to her
off air comments and Views. Rosanne Barr and her new show
have to be dialed back and she has to be contained off air .
All due to the pro right views of her and her role on the TV.
The Hollwierd leftist’s have finally gotten some of their own
medicine thrown back at them From their own front lawn !
HA HA HA HA HA soooo sorrrrry I almost forgot to laugh !
@mac I hadn’t heard anything about Meathead in years. He played a dunce in the show and I guess that is who he is in real life. A real dope.
