I hope you have realized by now that what the politicians say during elections and what they do after they are in office are 2 different things. It seems that you think this "walk" is going to somehow change the happenings in Indianapolis and Washington. Just like the tea parties stopped the stimulus, and other spending bills that will no doubt cause a rise in taxes?? For the record, I am not against what you are doing, in fact I think it is a good idea. That being said, it has been suggested that if it is not labeled as a march or parade, and lacks some set forth criteria, that no permits and other legalities are needed, my question was: Why not pony up and make it a full on event? Get your point and message across with more than the hope that someone will "ask". Furthermore, if the "tactics" I use to educate my children, and people close to me do not suit you and you believe that they will only lead to more gun laws (as you suggested above) that is fine with me, at least I know that they have the knowledge to make informed dedcisions, and can provide for themselves without the aid of welfare, food stamps and the like. Good Luck to all of you who are participating in the walk, I truely hope it is a success.Oh, you mean the same tactics that got us NFA '34, GCA '68, the 922(o) provision in FOPA '86, Brady, the AWB, and so on?
Look, the tactics you list above are all "within community" stuff with very little "outreach." Without a strong "outreach" committment we. will. lose.
Also, you've used the "all of them, not just the 2nd Amendment" argument. I'm curious about just who you might have voted for that is supposed to be protecting "all of them" that doesn't also come with the 2nd. That argument is usually used in defense of voting for an anti-gun candidate who is really no better (if not actually worse) than the pro-gun candidate on the rest of the Bill of Rights. (Current crop of dems in Congress as a case in point.)
