Let's Use Posititve Ammunitition In The Fight

[SigShooter]

In as much as we should tie in hunting and fishing to shooting, it's also important to spend time on sport shooting, self-defense, and politically incorrect firearms, including Class III. The other trouble is, we don't want to tie gun ownership to hunting and fishing, because that's not what the Second Amendment is about. It's about the law-abiding people having the most efficient means to, when absolutely necessary, immediately prosecute criminals and terrorists (including government sponsered). If we tie it hunting and fishing too closely, the opposition will consider that a consession that gun ownership is about deer hunting or duck hunting.

July is the best month for us. It's all about America. The weather works well enough everywhere in the US and we can focus on just shooting targets, owning and carrying arms, and the importance of gun rights legislation. Plus, after the 4th, the month is dead anyway. Don't get me wrong, September isn't a bad month. My mother was born in September, but that's all that matters about that month. It doesn't really have the patriotic punch of July.

Any more thoughts?

Any thoughts one way or another from Michael, Marshal or M'ette, or the guys over at Best Deffense?

[Teresa Heilevang]

I've read all of this...

Marshal and I have discussed this a bit this morning.. and we would be glad to have Down Range be one of the many outlets it would take to achieve something on this scale.
We do not reach everyone... so it realistically would take a huge amount of support and resources to get something like this up and running.

Time is a huge factor too for us...not enough hours in the day to get stuff done as it is ( as I am sure lots of you have the same challenges )

But we will discuss it some more and keep updated on this site to stay on top of it and see what can be done.

I also think July would be best.
You put the positive spin at the beginning with the patriotic theme of the 4th and using guns to win our freedom and follow it up by spending the rest of the month promoting the enjoyment of the shooting sports.

And continue to push the idea of how armed Americans have defended their nation and community with arms through the last 3 centuries, Indian wars, Texas war for Independence , Hunters and Shooters who flocked to the colors for the Spanish war, the Northfeild and Coffeyville bank robberies, etc.

That's right....teach (or re-teach) all the real American History that the school systems have been slowly but surely leaving out of the classroom curriculum over the last 50+ years.
