Well said. I do vote, and I call, write, and e-mail my state and federal reps to let them know where I stand on pending legislation...and I remind them I will moniter their votes and positions and that their performance determines whether I will re-hire them next election. I am an endowment Life NRA member and frequently donate to NRA-ILA. I put my money where my mouth is. We gun owners are a 40-60 million strong voting block and we could have it our way if we stuck together. Someone famous said the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and the guys who would let it slip away make me want to puke. They are not men.
