Word has already gotten out quite a bit all over NY. It's important that we keep fighting for our freedoms.... Something we can do as gun owners for a reasonable amount of money, to sway our state representatives into changing this new gun law in New York State. That is, if everyone who owns a gun, or who believes in the right to own guns, would take the effort to write a simple note to their state assembly person, senator and this governor, expressing their opposition to this new gun law. Most people will not write because they don’t know what to say, this is where the club leader ship should be willing to write a form type of letter so others would have an idea about what to say in their own letter. The amazing thing is the cost of a piece of paper, envelope, stamp and one hour of their time, verses not being able to attend a rally or send in a couple of hundred dollars to NYSRPA which is what some of us are going to do. If every person that owns a gun or like I said believes in the write to own a gun would do this simple task, we would flood their mail boxes with letters that they cannot ignore. It will get their attention when it is expressed to them that you will not vote for them if they voted for this new gun law. If we can get this to all clubs and gun owners from Long Island to the Canadian border and from Buffalo to the Vermont/ Massachusetts border the effect would stagger their offices and bury them in letters. Thousands of letters get their attention and make them think a little harder that they will be out of a job after the next election, verses one letter with a thousand signatures which they throw in the garbage can. If your elected official voted against this law they deserve a letter telling them how please you are with their decision to do so. The crazy part of all this is, we have not had an incident in New York State with an AR 15 type rifle or a legally owned glock high capacity magazine handgun, but they want us to pay the price for others actions. It will take the effort of a lot of leaders from a lot of gun organized clubs to accomplish this, however it can be done with the help of the internet this is very doable. If our club leaders take the time to get them the names, addresses and how to do it, this will get a lot of attention. LET THIS MOVEMENT START HERE WITH US, LET THEM HERE WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY IN OUR OWN WORDS, DON’T BE RUDE, JUST DIRECT AND TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS NEW LAW AND DISPLEASED WITH THOSE THAT VOTED FOR IT. Remember the movie Miracle on 42nd St and what that court room looked like with all those letters, we as gun owners can do the same thing with our foolish representatives. Gun owners should all send letters between March 1st and March 7th of 2013, let them see the power of gun owners when our backs are to the wall.
