Time to get off your butts!

In the wake of this tragedy, the anti-gun-ers are in high gear - state and federal level! So it's time for every gun-owning person to be proactive; start writing your congressmen/state legislator. This is no time to be a spectator! Don't write once and be done with but several times.
REMEMBER WHEN WRITING/EMAILING:
BE THOUGHTFUL AND RESPECTFUL - OTHERWISE YOU WILL COME OFF AS SOME NUT JOB! THAT WILL NOT HELP OUR CAUSE!

Yes it is time I'm on other sites that are all over this but over here many seem just not to give a rats ass I put up a petition and not one response then when they take away your rights you'll complain. I agree get off your butts here's one that I posted. I kind of new here but just trying to pass the word.

Parker, online petitions don't do a damned thing. They are consequently banned on this forum. There is now an announcement to that effect.

All posts or threads will be closed or deleted on sight by any mod at TFL.

You want to email, tweet or write (hard-copy) your Reps? That's the way to go. See Sandy Hook Shooting: Read First for info on how to find your Federal Representative or Senator.
