Today's post on Citizens of America is still lingering in my mind--perhaps because so many of us worked so hard on it, and saw it die through lack of support. Perhaps it wasn't the good idea I thought it was, or perhaps those of us behind it didn't have the talent to pull it off.
But there are other options. Depending on your particular set of convictions, there are many choices for gun owners to throw their efforts behind--both with manpower, and of course, with financial support. If you're politically inclined, we have NRA and/or GOA and/or CCRKBA. If you're more into promoting ideas, there are JPFO and/or SAF. And, of course, there are various state and localized efforts.
The blunt and obvious truth: The other side has wealthy benefactors allowing it to prepare slick, "professional" and compelling propaganda to attack our rights--plus the media is overwhelmingly sympathetic to citizen disarmament. We cannot even compete--let alone win-- in the forum of public opinion if we do nothing to counter their arguments and promote our own. And that, like it or not, requires funding--and lots of it.
Go take this week's poll, the results of which I'll discuss next Sunday.
