Let me get back up on my soapbox...
[soapbox]
I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it:
Nationwide, gun owners are actually the majority in the US. The only reason why we're not in control of the situation is because too many of us are asleep, complacent, or don't care because OUR particulary favorite weapon isn't under attack yet. That's a bullshit attitude. Hell, even though I personally question the wisdom of very cheap guns being very readily available, and hence being quite attractive to punks and hoodlums, I'll still fight for the right of a law-abiding gun owner to buy them!
If your favorite gun is a bolt-action 12 gauge shotgun and all you do is hunt geese with it once a year, and you don't care for ANY other guns at all, you should STILL support gun ownership of ALL other gun types including full auto assault rifles, because the antis are using a process of systematic erosion. Where will it all end? When the last gun is taken away from us.
That CAN'T happen IF EVERY GUN OWNER VOTES FOR HIS RIGHTS.
Voting is your best voice, though violence is the loudest.
If you are pro-gun but don't vote, you're effectively taking an anti-gun position. I know that it can be hard to choose a candidate that's worth voting for in some elections, but in that case vote on this one issue alone, and vote for the candidate that is most for (or least against) your rights.
There are more gun owners in this country than the total number of votes that were cast in the last Presidential election. Think about that for a moment.
If every gun owner voted, and voted for a pro-gun candidate,we'd be unstoppable.
If there IS no pro-gun candidate, consider running for office yourself. Why SHOULDN'T it be you to run in opposition to your local gun-grabbing asshole?
Become a ONE ISSUE voter. Vote on the GUN ISSUE, and NO OTHER. Once our gun rights are assured and safe, THEN other issues can be dealt with.
Short and simple, ONLY VOTERS MATTER. If you don't vote, you don't matter.
NEVER REGISTER YOUR GUNS. Move away from any place that requires gun registration. That's not America and you're not protected there, no matter what it says on the map.

The power is yours to take, by voting.
