The most important thing you can do now

The day is here.  Obama has won.  Guns are flying off the shelf.  You can’t buy an Evil Black Rifle to save your life.

Before he took it down, his transition website contained this gem (rescued from the memory hole by Google cache.)  The important part:

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets

So, stripped of the codewords, here is what President-elect Obama is planning to do:

  • Allow folks like Mike Bloomberg access to gun trace data to aid his lawsuits
  • Shut down private transfers of firearms
  • Enforce “smart gun” legislation
  • Ban semi-auto firearms

The single most effective thing that you can do to stop him is this:  join the NRA. Do it today.  Right now, in fact.  Click here. I’ll wait.

You are already an NRA member, you say?  Great!  Reach out to 5 other gunnies, or other freedom loving individuals, and get them to join.  Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Here’s the deal, folks.  We are in the fight of our lives.  The NRA is the biggest pro-gun lobbying organization in the nation.  If NRA lobbies Congress as a 4 million member organization, it has a certain amount of influence.  If NRA lobbies Congress as a 40 million member organization, it has incredible power.  There are over 100 million gun owners in the United States.  NRA has 4 million members.  That means that there are at least 96 million of you who are letting the rest of us carry you.  I’m tired of carrying you.

“But George…I don’t like the NRA.  I disagree with them on…”

Don’t care.  Join anyway.

“But I’m a member of…”

Don’t care.  Great…join them all.  But you HAVE GOT to be a member of NRA.  This is about numbers.

“They keep asking me for money.”

Quit your bitching.  Call them and tell them to stop sending mail.  They will put you on the list.  Join the freaking organization.

“They’ll never take my guns.  I’ll bury them, see, and…”

Quit the macho internet fantasies and do something productive.  Spend the $35 and join the NRA.

In fact, if you are too cheap to spend the $35, if your gun rights aren’t worth $3 a month to you…email me, and I’ll pay it for you.

If everyone dropping cash on firearms today would join up…there would be no need to hoard.  We would have the numbers to stop the ban before it happens.

I’m going to make a prediction.  The AWB will be one of the first things on BHO’s agenda.  I’d say we have until March or so to stop this train.  Take the most effective, easiest step you can…join the NRA today.

    3. I completely agree. If you want to continue being a gun owner instead of a former gun owner join the NRA!
