Thanks, James. I'm attentive to media although don't go personally to social, a powerful instrument of organization promotion. What you're seeing hasn't visited us hereabouts. My gun club, formerly fiercest activist in the province, lost its steam and individual efforts of rallying interest has feeble results. The West is the beating heart but with print disappearing magazine shelves no longer sell the national publicationI The Gunrunner; I doubt it's published now. I read daily the same stuff as you --The Star, GnM, National Post, all of conservative orientation except The Star. Their editorial and news columns are 100 per cent anti-gun, no public blowback. That's not to say if it's not printed it isn't there but general readers shouldn't be faulted for thinking the "new normal" is here.

In my work, I can say empirically that the most powerful promotion is word of mouth. No one is talking about what's coming around here. Is it same in your oasis of quiet contemplation?
