Make a statement?

I have always wondered why none of the gun organizations have ever made a statement in some manner protesting the ever increasing gun rights infringements taking place in our great country.
I have a suggestion.
There is talk of another 'stimulus' package, a small portion of which will be another tax check this year.
What if all us 2A supporters affirm every dime of it will be spent on guns and ammo?
Just to show the actual support that exists out here.
Our government really has no clue as to what it faces out here.
It assumes we will all turn in our guns when push comes to shove, and liberty will simply die with a securely muffled whimper.
How about if we all took a day off work, and spent every dime on only gun related items?
Seriously, we need to actually do something besides emails, phone calls and faxes.
See how well that has worked for us so far.
NRA, GOA, the sports forums, gun sites, all manner of gun owning Americans need to get on board, and soon, to make a real statement here.

You thoughts?

Almost, but this needs to be advertised.
That is the first I have even seen of that one.
Hardly effective.
This ALSO needs to happen in the very near future.

Hardly effective.

Results 1 - 10 of about 528,000 for National Ammo Day.

This ALSO needs to happen in the very near future.

Sorry I'm out of money( about 8000 rds worth ) from National Ammo Day.

Been done before, whether or not you've heard of it.

It's also totally political and therefore off topic.
