Obama IS anti-gun. This should not be news to you, but there are some who think that he doesn't really care about gun control. Take a moment to search the internet and you will find hundreds of articles outlining his anti-gun tendencies in Illinois, and dozens more about his anti-gun campaign promises. It is a fact.
If we want to save our sport and more importantly our rights as legal firearms owners we are going to have to make a serious, and well orchestrated effort, and we are going to have to convince as many people to help us as we can. I have been giving this issue a lot of thought since the election and I am going to do a series of articles here to help promote this cause. If you are with me check back often to see what I've came up with, take the time to do what I suggest if you agree, tell your friends about it, and please comment or email me if you have anything to add, or if you think I'm wrong.
Action is paramount. If you sit back and think the NRA, GOA, or someone is going to save us you're wrong. We must all be a part of the effort. Your personal actions will make the difference. Do not sit this one out. Take time to put forth an individual effort. Believe that YOU can make a difference!
Step 1: Write your Representatives and Senators. It's not too early to start bombarding our federal legislators with letters, phone calls, and emails, telling them that we are against all forms of gun control. Go to this link if you need help finding contact info for your legislators. Take a few minutes to compose an email, letter, or make a phone call, to tell them what you believe. Keep it brief and too the point. Be organized and calm. Don't make any kind of threats, not even ones to vote them out of office. Politely point out that we use semi-autos for sport, and no gun ban, especially not the Clinton gun ban, ever had a positive impact on crime and that studies by the CDC and many other neutral and even anti-gun organizations back this up.
Most of our Congressmen already have a pro or anti gun leaning, and we probably can't sway many of them, but there may be a few. There is also the possibility that they may have to answer a call from Barack Obama, Sarah Brady or some other radical, and we want them to be able to say "Our office has been inundated with calls and emails from our constituents against any from of gun ban."
Do your duty as a gun owner. Take action now. Spread the word. We need every gun owner in the country to back us on this one.

I agree completely. We stood to be counted, and fell short. The time for passive resistance to gun control is gone. We must ban together and excersize the system we have to effect public policy (without violence or malice of any sort). Get involved with grass roots, and the not so grass roots, efforts now, and help the energy build. A couple of good places to start are the CDC for statistics and, of course, the NRA-ILA.
I too am looking to see what can be done, and where to do it. I began last week by changing political parties, to a third party I really like, with a carefully and politely worded letter to the chairman of the RNC explaining why. Perhaps we all should examine our affiliations to see if we are properly represented.
It is very easy for those that are surrounded by armed bodygards to tell us that we dont need to own firearms!!!! Count me in on whatever we can do as a group to change their minds.
