Prove to me you Guest (nonmember) Glockers are up to my challenge.. if you dare...
As is widely known on this forum I am a true non believer in Glock.. I rarely mince words on it and I'm generally unapologetic about it. So here's my deal. If we get 100 new members on this forum who (on there honor) join this forum in the next 14 days in response to this post AND use the following link http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/ and I will refrain from negative Glock comments for 1 year. For the record I detest this brand and then some, so step up to the plate!
Get 1000 new members (on their honor) on this forum within 30 days and who use this link http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/ and I will buy a new G30 or G21 when available, or if legal in the next 6 months and post pics in here. The 2A is way more important than my Glockisms, please support the 2A. Please announce your membership and link usage below.

I just sent personal letters out last week, so I aplaud your effort...
BTW... the links in red that I tried ( on that page ) did not work, so there's either an error, or they were simply too busy

Sounds like someone secretly wants to try a Glock and come up with this as a way to save face
Thanks for posting the link again. I'm a Glocker and have already taken advantage of Rugers webpage. Thanks to Ruger as well. |

I'm very tempted to post this at GlockTalk, just to see if I can force BGutzman into buying that Glock.

I not a big Glock fan, I think I like the gun more than some of the arrogant Glock owners though.
Last year I bought a G20SF along with a Lone Wolf long slide with a 6.61" threaded barrel, Lone Wolf Compensator +2 round grip extender, 6.01" 9X25mm Dillon barrel,and, and,......should I keep going? This is one bad 18 round Glock 10mm. What other 10mm compares to that? I call it my Jackpot gun for a reason. |

Buying a gun isn't going to save your right.
Write your representatives and attend 2a rallies. VOTE this next cycle. |

My point remains I am a wildly critical of Glock and rightfully so. Here's your chance to write your legislature about guns using the given link AND put a burr under my saddle... What better than to make someone who despises Glock buy one. Scan my post from the past its no exaggeration. I do like some custom Glocks but its few and far between. Meet the goals and I will live up to my word...
I am assuming members have already been writing their reps so that's why I excluded them. I am trying, honestly trying to bring more of us into the fray by telling our reps the 2A is a right and not optional. So non-member Glockers get off the fence. If you think I'm wrong then tell me so here in this thread and support the 2A. You want your revenge for all the comments, here's a fair and honest shot.

Congressmen ignore advocacy letters unless they're bundled with cash. Ruger's advocacy form letter is going into your representative's spam folder without even a look-over by anything more than an intern in a tight blouse and push-up bra.
Also, there are as many Sigs that would qualify, by your standards, to be as crappy as Glocks. |

I'm a member, I've written everyone on my own and by using the Ruger link, and my experiences with Glocks have all been positive...
I guess I am disqualified from playing... |

Seriously non members? We the firearms community need you to participate... Not sure what else I can offer but wow not one taker? not one? This is about our rights... I do not in general like Glocks, its all true but this was actually an honest effort to get people involved... If you continue to do nothing you are helping let the other side cast an image that the average citizen just doesn't care about guns... That does not help any of us. Please do something.

Since not one nonmember Glocker stepped up the first part of the challenge is already basically over.

Well, crud. I was hoping that the (potentially fanatical) GlockTalk crowd would swamp this thread.

After what happened to us here in NY, anything that can be done to get people to tell their reps and senators on a state and federal level is not only worthwhile, but also necessary.
And seeing a Glock hater have to buy one would be nice! |

I submitted mine with Ruger, not to long ago. Would love a free pistol, lol! But seriously I have gotten some form of response from all my States representatives in so form. Most were pre generated responses, well all were. But the last one I received today, while not directly written just for me was a very good response;
January 30, 2013 Dear Mr. Martin, Thank you for contacting me about proposed gun regulations. I appreciate hearing from you. First and foremost, no words can adequately describe the tragedy that occurred in Connecticut. *With the loss of so many innocent lives, especially the young children, our prayers should continue to go out to the families and the community around them. *While a political discussion of what we in Congress can do to prevent future tragedies is inevitable, I hope these discussions will not overshadow the memory of those who lost their life that day. As a Member of Congress I will honor my oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." *Since being ratified on December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights has been one of the core pillars of our Constitution. The rights enshrined to the people there have been a beacon to the world. The 2nd Amendment states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." In 2008 the historic Supreme Court case of D.C. vs Heller reaffirmed this amendment as a protection for individuals of *the right to bear arms. There is no clause in the Second Amendment qualifying or limiting this right. As the 113th Congress begins there will be extensive discussion in the months ahead concerning what, if any, changes to our gun laws or other laws are needed following the tragic events in Connecticut. I take seriously the need to safeguard the Constitutional right to bear arms. I believe that responsible gun owners should not be punished for the actions of one deranged person. I am concerned that in a rush to do something, there may be an overreaction. *I think we need to take a thoughtful approach and look at all of the facts in order to avoid any unintended consequences. As we review the facts and study this issue I hope we also review the effectiveness of current efforts to control gun use. The shooter in Connecticut, a state with some of the most stringent gun control laws in the nation, stole the guns from his mother after brutally murdering her. *He illegally carried the guns into a "gun-free" zone because he knew there would be no one to stop him. *According to the U.S. Department of Justice, a majority of guns used by criminals are stolen, bought on the black market, or obtained in other illegal ways. Most, if not all, of the laws being proposed by gun control advocates would not have made any difference in Connecticut. Lastly, President Obama and Vice President Biden have both indicted they will be using executive orders to pursue gun control. Unfortunately too often this administration has used this tactic to go around Congress to achieve its agenda. This flies in the face of the design of our Founding Fathers when they established the Constitution with three co-equal branches with checks and balances. Although the President can direct various executive agencies how to do their business, the Constitution does not allow the President to make law through executive order. If President Obama wants changes to our gun laws he must bring these changes to Congress so we can have an open, honest, and transparent debate. Anything other than this is totally unacceptable. As we as a nation continue to heal from this tragedy I hope we *also look within our families, churches, and cultural institutions--for answers. Thank you once again for providing me with your concerns. For more information about my efforts on behalf of Colorado and to receive periodic congressional updates, please visit my website at Lamborn.house.gov/. * * * * *Sincerely, Doug Lamborn Member of Congress
