These certainly are vigilant times. We have a person elected to the Presidency
that is totally against gun owners. The appointees in his cabinet are totally
against gun owners. The Attorney General is for all kinds of gun bans. Hillary
as Secretary Of State could sell us down the road to the U.N. I suggest we all
pray that there are people with enough common sense in our U.S. Congress to
oppose senseless gun legislation! Now more than ever is not the time to be
complacent. Don’t leave it to the other guy. You do it and get the other guy to
do it too!
We also have new members in the Illinois legislature. The anti-gun bills are
never going to stop. Our fighting against them also must never stop. I often
wish I could bring Thomas Jefferson and George Washington back to life for one
day, to address this nation on the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment as they
intended it to be. I would bet that the Liberals would still dismiss their
speeches as rhetoric. Anyone with common sense should see that all gun laws only
affect the law abiding.
Criminals don’t care what law you pass. They love gun control—it makes their job
easier, because those laws do not apply to them at all! They don’t care about
magazine bans. They don’t care about one gun a month—they buy six at a time in
some ally. They don’t care about encoded ammo—they buy theirs on the black
market. “No gun zones” mean easy picking areas for them. Assault weapon bans
don’t affect them, because on the black market, money will buy anything.
Although they don’t want conceal carry, it means they may get shot while at
work.
It’s really funny how we never see bills that say use a gun in a crime—get ten
years, no parole. Kill someone with a gun—lose your life too. Instead they want
to keep disarming you more and more, so those poor criminals don’t get hurt.
Maybe OSHA will start telling us next that conceal carry provides work hazards
for criminals on the job.
Part of being vigilant is getting more and more people to join our cause and be
counted. The bigger the crowd at IGOLD, the bigger our voice and the news media
cannot ignore large numbers. Just imagine if we get seven to eight thousand
people there this year. It’s all up to us!
We need to respond to email alerts quickly. They have to know they are not
pulling the wool over our eyes by trying to pass something we are not aware of.
Calls must go out immediately protesting bills against our rights. Then we need
to notify people on our email address list as to what they should do, if they
don’t get the email alerts.
Standing together and fighting together will keep us vigilant. Call us the
Minutemen if you wish, but that’s how our response to bills should be or
anything else we see going the wrong way.
Please until we can change things around in the next election be on your toes
and don’t be caught sleeping when it comes to defending the 2nd Amendment. If we
don’t fight, who will protect it for our children and grandchildren to enjoy as
we did. Take a youngster shooting this year. Organize with a Boy Scout troop or
church group or just get a bunch of youngsters together and take them out. The
future of this sport depends on getting more people shooting—men—women—young
people!
Let’s all stay alert and on our toes!
