We need to remember that we live in a political society.

Organizations like MADD and various anti-gun groups have the right to lobby for legislation that furthers their interests. They have the right to pursue litigation in court that furthers their interests. Many of those groups (especially MADD) have used those rights very effectively.

We have the same rights to lobby and to litigate. We must understand those rights and know how to use them effectively. And we need to join and support those organization that have effectively protected and furthered our interests in the legislatures and in courts.
