Keep Pressuring Your Congresscritters

Sen. Joe Manchin "The Third"

Yeah, the Left is going to push hard and fast on gun control, because, you know, never let a crisis go to waste, blah blah blah. Obama isn't running for re-election (not going to rule out a grab for power), so he can piss off as many Americans as he wants to push his reformist agenda. Your Senators and Congresscritters, however, are not term-limited (although they should be) and more easily swayed by the voters. Make sure they know exactly where you stand on the current Gun Grab bills, and that any vote for the diminishment of our 2nd Amendment rights will result in the end of their political careers.

Great story in, gasp, The New York Times. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin "the Third" (I refuse to type III behind his name) got together with some constituents that informed him where his future stood if he voted for the Gun Grab.

Others at the lunch said that laws did little to help even the most violent societies. “Mexico, for instance, has got some of the strictest gun control laws in North America,” said Rick Johnson, the owner of a river expedition company. “They’ll put you in jail for a bullet in Mexico. And look how well it’s worked.”

 

“I can take my A.R.,” Mr. Johnson said, referring to his assault rifle, “load it, put one in the chamber and throw it up on this table, and the only way it’s going to hurt anybody is if I miss and hit someone in the head. The gun doesn’t hurt anybody. It’s the person pulling the trigger.”

It's a good read.
