Illinois is wasting no time in oppressing its citizens though.

This will happen only if we allow it to happen. Everyone needs to write an email, letter or phone those dirt bags who work for us. I know there are a few that are good but they now more then ever need to hear your voice.

One way I see out of this is one big a$$ protest march on DC. The NRA needs to move in multiple fronts and organize various events to show solidarity among target shooters, hunters and plain old gun nuts who just love the history of the gun.

You would need to bring in UN troops and in a heart beat I would toss them to the ground. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

1995 - 6,000 Bosnian Muslims were massacred at Srebrenica in the ironically named "UN safe area" after having been disarmed first (a process aided by the UN).

Food for thought.

write the speaker of the house as well as your state reps.

Just got back to this thread:

Your'e right MD and I have done my part.

I won't cast my vote differently as I already oppose My state senators whom I know will vote for the anti gun agenda. But on the miracle that they change their mind I have expressed my opinion and contacted others in my contact list to do the same.

You know ONE point to remember about "Them" not voting the way the folks they represent is that even if they only serve 4 years, the retire at basically FULL PAY FOR LIFE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Talking about the American people getting taken to the cleaners!

I don't have an AK or SKS, but I do like what I have.

The more I read about what our country was founded on, and by who, the more I realize that the voting public are idiots. We are turning into a modern day Roman Empire--as long as we have our sports and out bread no one cares about politics. If it has happened in the past, it can happen again. The wolf is at the door and if we allow it we all will be gyro material.

Too many now vote on their perceived immediate benefit and only get their info in sound bites from the mainstream media. I totally agree. I am a lower middle class "worker" and I am astounded by how many of my peers actually think that the so called "Rich" pay less in taxes than they do. People are more interested in what they think will be best for them and not what's best for the country. We are in serious trouble folks.
