It is a great video and underscores the importance of contacting your elected representatives and getting out the vote when needed, to evict from office those that would undermine the second amendment. Politicians do listen to those letters and phone calls . Also, the money you are thinking of spending right now on those 20 and 30 rd mags (before they are illegal), might be better spent donated to the NRA, or your favorite pro second amendment lobbying group.Because this time we have a real fight on our hands to protect our rights.

I particularly appreciate the part where he points out how "we" show reverence and decency toward such tragedy, while they vultures on the other side of this leap at the opportunity to exploit the pain of others.
We may not win this, but we go with our heads up, unafraid to be looked in the eyes when we speak of how we carried on through our trials.

As what was once said, "We will not go quietly into the night, without a fight."
Do your part to stand up for our rights.
Here is a start, will it do any good, who knows, but it is a start.

Funny how that differs from what Obama and the media are saying...

Guns bans, in historical terms, do not reduce gun violence.

Here is the question:

What policy changes, or public safety suggestions, can the NRA and other pro-gun groups support, in the coming national
debate?

Promote improved mental health access and funding? Tighter background checks?

I fear a ban is imminent, what can be done to change the perception of being the problem, and not part of the solution.

The NRA's stand of no-compromise is a failed policy, and will contribute to a far over reaching ban or restrictions.

Part of the answer may come in their public statement Friday.

I gotta say I disagree wholeheartedly on this part. When the NRA was was doing nothing but compromise, we got brady bill, AWB, sporting purposed, etc. and I dropped my membership after that. Compromise is proven to be incremental-ism for the loss of rights. What ever comes next wont have a sunset, so it is best it does not happen at all, by any degree.

13fcolt,

Your stand has merit, and I respect that. Most here will likely agree with your reasoning.

However, the question remains, is there anything reasonable to offer the other side?

I would argue that last week's horrific crime has changed this debate forever....

My reasonable offer to the other side is repeal of 20,000 odd useless regulations that clearly failed. One of my favorite quotes, about insanity and repeating the same tasks, applies here. Increasing restrictions fails 100% of the time. It's long overdue to stop and change direction on the issue. You must first understand though, for the other side, this issue has nothing to do with safety or the loss anyone has suffered. They want power and control and they can not dominate an armed populace. Bearing that in mind, I would say this debate is unchanged, but rather escalated.

If the issue really did have anything to do with safety, IF the other side really did want me to maintain access to firearms and was truly interested only in stopping crimes, then middle ground could have been found a long time ago. We need only look at other countries around the world where the exact same process has already taken place.
