Support the NRA. They do an amazing amount for our rights.

Teach children. Continued ignorance of our rights and of the importance of firearms for civilians, historically and currently, will be the eventual destruction of those rights. Our liberal public schools and media not only won't teach this, but in fact undermine it at almost every opportunity.

Volunteer! Get the kids or non-owners out to the range, or out to the field. Teach them how to use a gun, the history, the responsibility. Encourage other gun owners and competitors to do the same. We offer discounts for police and soldiers, as well we should. But what about those tireless volunteers making a difference? Why don't ranges, shops and retailer in the gun industry support volunteers?

Contact those in power. Local, State, and Federal office holders should hear from you continually supporting the good measures and damning the bad. Let them know that their voting record on the second amendment and gun rights will determine whether you will support them in reelection.

And looking at my own list, I'm only doing 2.5/4. Time for me to find a good way to volunteer. So as not to hijack this thread: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...06#post3797306
