I think Kerry and all of the other Democrat politicians are keeping a low profile on the issue of our Second Amendment Rights and the issues of gun control. They're probably hoping their views will sneak in to be energized after they are elected (God forbid).
As a Second Amendment participant and owner of several guns, as well as an active NRA member, all of our votes count! Join the NRA if you haven't already. Talk your rights at the coffee shop! All of us sane people know that there is a positive correlation between increased gun control and restriction and the increase in violent crime.
Do more target practice--most criminals and wanabee hoods are too stressed out to aim correctly. If you are ever unfortunate to be involved in a deadly confrontation, you want to keep a cool head, steady hand, and remember...the objective in such events is to "reduce the threat." The "playing field" should always have equal sides, right? As free Americans, we have the constitutional right to protect our Self, Family, Home, and Property.
Also, support your local and State Sheriff's Association...they're on OUR side!
