I sent the following e-mail to my U.S. and state senators and representatives. Please share it with the gun dealers and others who read your magazine, and ask them to do the same. We cannot wait for the other side to act first. We Cannot Wait Jimmy Rogers Van Alstyne, Texas Mr. Rogers, you have done what so many say they will do, but don’t. I salute you. Readers of Shooting Industry, borrow Mr. Rogers’ words and send a letter or e-mail to your U.S. and state legislators. Mr. Rogers is right: We cannot wait. “Now that the Obama administration has taken control, and both the Senate and House are weighted toward the Democrats, we as private citizens must be diligent in contacting our senators and representatives at the federal and state levels to assure them that we are watching, and demanding that the campaign promises made by President Obama regarding the Second Amendment are kept. In his campaign, he assured Americans that he believes ‘ . in common sense gun safety laws, and . in the Second Amendment.’ He also stated, ‘Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign.’ These statements are hard to believe as being sincere, seeing that three of his top appointments are very anti-gun. These liberal radicals cannot be allowed to sway President Obama into legislation that, in any way, infringes on the citizens’ Second Amendment rights. Eighteen states have already introduced legislation to require ‘Encoded Ammunition,’ with serial numbers and registration requirements. The proposed legislation also calls for private citizens to forfeit all legally purchased ‘non-encoded ammunition’ and makes it illegal to possess it. ‘Encoded Ammunition’ would result in unbelievably high costs of ammunition, not to mention a short supply due to manufacturing delays. This is completely unacceptable to the law-abiding citizens of this nation. It would drastically reduce our ability to exercise our Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. Citizens have the right to protect themselves from criminals and to enjoy all the shooting sports, and any legislation that prevents that will not be tolerated by the general public, many of whom are lawabiding gun owners. I can assure you the citizens of Texas are closely watching to see if our elected officials are going to take a stand with us in protecting our rights from ridiculous legislation attempts. We will not tolerate anything less than your defense of our Second Amendment rights. As we like to say, ‘We have guns, and we vote!’ Please do not let us down.” 9 E-mail the Editor russ@shootingindustry.com 6 MARCH 2009 Circle No. 202 on Inquiry Card Read SI DIGITAL www.shootingindustry.com
