dbHunterNY Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) word has already gotten out across NY. local clubs around here are in full participation. it doesn't cost any significant amount of money and it doesn't require you to take vacation time off work to protest. this will work, but the more the better. feel free to send them when indicated to NY Gov Cuomo at least if you're not a NY resident.... Something we can do asgun owners for a reasonable amount of money, to sway our state representativesinto changing this new gun law in New York State. That is, if everyone who ownsa gun, or who believes in the right to own guns, would take the effort to writea simple note to their state assembly person, senator and this governor,expressing their opposition to this new gun law. Most people will not write because they don’t know what to say, this is where the club leadership should be willing to write a form type of letter so others would have an idea about what to say in their own letter. The amazing thing is the cost of a piece ofpaper, envelope, stamp and one hour of their time, verses not being able toattend a rally or send in a couple of hundred dollars to NYSRPA which is whatsome of us are going to do. If every person that owns a gun or like I said believes in the write to own a gun would do thissimple task, we would flood their mail boxes with letters that they cannotignore. It will get their attention when it is expressed to them that you willnot vote for them if they voted for this new gun law. If we can get this toall clubs and gun owners from Long Island to the Canadian border and fromBuffalo to the Vermont/ Massachusetts border the effect would stagger theiroffices and bury them in letters. Thousands of letters get their attention andmake them think a little harder that they will be out of a job after the nextelection, verses one letter with a thousand signatures which they throw in thegarbage can. If your elected official voted against this law they deserve aletter telling them how please you are with their decision to do so. The crazy part of allthis is, we have not had an incident in New York State with an AR 15 type rifleor a legally owned glock high capacity magazine handgun, but they want us topay the price for others actions. It will take theeffort of a lot of leaders from a lot of gun organized clubs to accomplishthis, however it can be done with the help of the internet this is very doable.If our club leaders take the time to get them the names, addresses and how todo it, this will get a lot of attention. LET THIS MOVEMENTSTART HERE WITH US, LET THEM HERE WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY IN OUR OWN WORDS, DON’TBE RUDE, JUST DIRECT AND TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS NEW LAW ANDDISPLEASED WITH THOSE THAT VOTED FOR IT. Remember the movieMiracle on 42nd St and what that court room looked like with all those letters,we as gun owners can do the same thing with our foolish representatives. Gunowners should all send letters between March 1st and March 7th of 2013, letthem see the power of gun owners when our backs are to the wall.

hammerforged Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Works for me - Lets do it! Why stop at New York - I say that all of the "people" in Washington need to see this in action. An excellent case in point is the recent sportsmans show that had to cancel due to pressure from the industry and individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE remember you're being direct and not disrepectful you're representing a part of us an gun owning responsible and admirable Americans. ....feel free to copy and paste this in emails or other correspondence to spread the word. it's very important here in NY especially to get these recent "laws" repealed. the rest of the US is watching us NY state and may follow suit if things don't turn around.

Ravin R10 man Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 It would be better to go to a site, click a link, fill out the card online with a small donation to support postage etc. and they send it off to the right office. Did this with right to life where you could send a message right to Wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
