I don't own any of these weapons. Why should I care? It's not goanna affect me anyway.
2nd Amendment. I suggest you read it, and then read the writings of our founding fathers.
Also, its about freedom, and regardless of whether you own one of these firearms, why would you support the loss of freedom and infringements on the 2nd Amendment? Surely you would not support any infringement of 1st Amendment or 3rd Amendment, so why the 2nd?
Finally, it will affect you when the precedence is set, and then a new target is acquired. Like, oh, 50 cal firearms.... NYS Assembly has been trying to ban 50-cal and larger projectile firearms for a couple years - even though it will not "stop criminals", not to mention not a single crime has been committed using a 50cal rifle. The reason given by the sponsor? "Well, it makes a really big hole!"
Its not firearms, its criminal behavior. Firearms ownership is protected by 2nd amendment. Read up, and defend your rights, and in the process defend the rights of your children, grand children and great grandchildren.
It's just a piece of paper. What your plan to stop this? Write on another piece of paper and send it to them? If you had any respect or belief for the constitution you would not be writting, You would be living the 2nd ammendment. Don't preach to me about doing anything. I see no one else doing nothing but giving in.You want to write and protect it but you all are to scared to live the constitution. Thats the hard core truth. Afraid to live it and die for it. So that is enough for me to join in and surrender. I am not goanna give my life for you if you are not willing to give yours for mine.
TinCup.... You obviously have no clue who I am or what I do. By no means am I afraid to do something about it. In fact, I am involved in the fight near the front lines Nationally, and ON THE FRONT lines here in NYS.
But, you do have a good point in that many just stick their heads in the sand, whining about "what can I do about it". Well, get off your bippy, join some organizations, like the 2nd Amendment Foundation, the NRA, National Shooting Sports Foundation, US Sportsmen's Alliance, and not only join, but GET INVOLVED!
Join and become an active member in a Federated Rod & Gun Club. Get involved in your county Federation and be active in your own State's Sportsmen's groups.
Not immediate enough... Ok, how about you plan to attend the SPortsmen's March on Albany slated for March 13. Surely showing your support for hunting and 2nd Amendment Rights is worth a vacation day, is it not? You wanna know what you can do? MAKE SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD! And spread the word to activate the many thousands of outdoors enthusiasts across NYS and the USA. I sure as heck cannot do it alone, but that doesn't stop me from fighting. And in the course of my fight being waged, like Benjamin Martin's Militia, the more people join in and the larger our active ranks swell.
Remember, our Constitutional Rights are NOT based on NEEDS. They are based on FREEDOM. Stand up and protect them, and join us in the fight.
