Gear and gun blogger Nutnfancy has put out a call to march on state capitols on Sat 19Jan in support of our rights. Can we muster enough bodies there to garner some real attention from Hartford?
The anti-self-defense gun movement is organized, both directly and indirectly through like-minded liberal organizations with other primary goals. As we all know, with the exception of the NRA, the shooting sports population is fragmented with few organizations having the mass to organize broadly and communicate quickly. While this effort may not create a "million man march", it is the best idea I have seen in some time.

Given the rhetoric coming out of Hartford, Albany, NYC, DC and elsewhere, it is time all of us gun owners start letting our voices be heard. Sure, the duck hunter, steels shooter or paper puncher might not care about those evil black rifles and/or hi-cap mags but do you really think they will stop there. Did the anti-gun crowd in the UK stop when they forced all weapons out of homes and into gun clubs?
What we are witnessing now is a combination of the application of Alinsky's rules (isolate and vilify your foe) and the Overton Window theory. Charlton Heston was ridiculed for his frequent warnings about the gun-takers, even by some who owned firearms. Yet, listening to Cuomo, Feinstein, Blumenthal and others over the past weeks, the Omega Man no longer sounds so crazy.
Will you show up and be heard in Hartford on 19 January?

My apologies to the moderators if they feel I am directing traffic to "that other" blog. If his offends you greatly, just delete the above paragraph please.
