Yesterday we reviewed many of the things we did right last session as HB347 worked its way from a bill to a law. Today we are going to take a crucial look at ourselves and see where we can improve.
Areas where Buckeye Firearms can do better:

We were not able to adequately target specific districts. While we have an extensive list of gun owners, and a large email list, many of our email contacts are not sorted by district. We need to be able to target legislators who are undecided on their vote, while not bombarding those who have committed to our side. (We don’t want to send specific information to everyone, when only 1% of those live in the district we need to affect.) This problem came to light during the days leading to the final override vote, but could be just as important to keep/kill an amendment at any time.

To solve this problem we are asking everyone on our email lists to provide us with their districts. Please click here on our web site and fill in your name, address and email address. This will allow us to contact you quickly and efficiently for district specific information. We do not give/sell your personal information to any other groups, but we need to be able to identify how many supporters we have in each district. Thank you for your help.

As I mentioned in previous comments on S. 388 (the nationwide concealed carry permit recognition bill introduced by U.S. Representative John Thune, R-S.D.) the very idea of carrying weapons made uniform nationwide can impeach the need for many social programs which are based on a theory of violence.

Could it all really happen?

Yes. Because most social programs are based on a lie, and impeaching the lie will starve them to death. The rest will take care of itself.

In sorting out the better objectives, understand that the right and left do not simply differ on how to approach the same goals: the liberty in America insist on the official’s living up to one’s oath of office, while the anti-liberty in America lure officials away from their oath of office.

S. 388 is a move in the right direction because it adheres to the oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. S. 388 does so by restoring official respect for it and begins a journey to put it back the way it was.
