The NRA has been an excellent lobbying organization, but I think there is another option to us that we have not exercised; The hunters of this country. Hunters should NOT be hunting and buying hunting licenses in states that have frivolous gun bans. This includes Maryland, New York, and California for starters. I for one am no longer going to buy a Maryland Hunting license; I am looking at PA, WV, and Virginia. We need to have a national podium and get the attention of all hunters nation wide.
This is a great opportunity for "red" states to take income away from these fringe left-wing bastions.
Also, we need to let people know hunting is part of conservation and necessary in any place with wild life. Without hunting, deer (for example) would eat up all the vegetation and destroy the eco-system. The average Joe knows nothing about this. This gives the voice of hunters more legitimacy, and I think a necessary element.
And finally hunters and sport shooters, even if you don't own an AR15, think of this; if we are going to ban "military style weapons" now, then today's hunting rifle is tomorrows sniper rifle. Your grandchildren will be hunting with a spear if these people get their way. Sound crazy? I'm not so sure based on what I have been hearing in recent years.
We need to act now!
