In. Opposition research was my job a couple decades ago and smear campaigns are a component of my day job.
And here is the primary INFOWAR weapon of choice:
Game on?

This is it! What will you do?
First Rule of OPSEC: Don't discuss your plans on an open Internet forum, especially one frequented by the Adversary.

Unless you have a better idea; I plan on writing a plethora of letters, perhaps help out MSI financially, and get out to vote. I think that's about the only pro-active options we have. The refuse to comply or try to find a loophole options are both reactive reactive options.
Well, we knew it was coming. The MGA is coming for us. I think they are emboldened by the losses conservatives took this year AND see the writing on the wall with redistricting. How can we be in such a bad place, yet on the precipice of something soooo needed?
IMO, I encourage the MGA to pass their laws AND take them further. Go ahead and ban HBARs AND call for a registration/confiscation. That is the only thing that is going to get some on "our side" to get off their asses. We have a few legislators on our side that are educated enough to be of help, but the majority are either self-serving or just knowledgable enough to hurt us.
Where is Governor Hogan on any of this? Not that it matters. The MGA have to power to override any veto and they will.

I get that; but you can't keep everything secret and you do have to communicate your plan some how if you want people to be involved in it. The antis also have the same limitation.
Because it has never affected their hunting rifles and shotguns before. Tell them they will now have to take a class and get photographed and fingerprinted to buy a single shot 20 gauge, and they will not be happy.
Posted this in the guns in 2019 session thread. I don't think I'll be able to get time to go down on the gun days. In my district all my reps are dems and writing/calling them is a waste of time, every time they basically just say screw you. What can I do that is actually meaningful? I feel like I'm bailing with a sieve.
Call and ask for an appointment to meet with your reps. It doesn't matter that they are Dems and are anti. They need to be told that they have constituents who disagree. If everyone did that, they might just think twice. It might peel off one or two or three and erode the confidence of the rest. Seek to create uncertainty.
It frequently is better to talk to the Right staffer than an actual Member .
A Chief of Staff is the home run , the Legislative Aide next best .
Yeah I posted it lol
i was surprised it hadn't already been done.
I don't know how you guys do it, I've only been into guns for a year now and I'm so tired of it all. There's just been a neverending stream of crap coming our way for the last year and I am thoroughly demoralized.
I'll give some money to MSI and I've already emailed Hogan about it, but what more is there to do? Rallying in Annapolis doesn't change anyone's mind, lawsuits take years to get anywhere, and our state is too blue for my vote to make a difference. Could really use a 2nd amendment pick-me-up right about now...
