Thankyou
Another thing you can do is to write letters to newspapers, and when stories about guns come out, make sure to comment on them with pro-2a comments.
How? Everyone has an individual style, so follow that. Be a gentleman of course, attack the issue, not the person and avoid trole like behaviors like trying to discuss guns in a story about public school funding.
You'd be amazed how many people read comments online, we need people to see that gun control isn't widely accepted.
I agree. Not everyone has the time or talent to provide testimony during a hearing or meet with or send letters to a State Congress person, but by-golly if all of us that articulate our positive self-defense opinions here, sure-as-heck can say the same in response to a gun article.
I've seen some very interesting and powerfully convincing data that demonstrated that public opinion is highly influenced by comments made on articles, polls, and forums. In my mind when people watch TV/movies, they realize it's suspended reality; and everyday more people are switching from reading the newspaper and magazines in favor of going online. I've also found that in nearly every instance when a rational (non-politically biased) person reviews the facts for themselves they come to agree that self defense is a fundamental civil right.
If enough Maryland citizens feel the way most of us do on this forum, our representatives will adopt better views or start losing elections.
I had never heard of Maryland Shall Issue (MSI) until I realized there was a 'problem' in Maryland. I can't help but think how much more good I might have been able to do had I heard of MSI sooner.
I'm very new and still reading older posts. However I will do this today. I will join the NRA. It's the least I can do. It's a start when 62 year old ladies decide its an organization that needs funding and they are welcome to my membership dues. And, you'll be happy to know I'm using my SS monies to pay for it.
