^ Awesome.

I can't state a lot of my thoughts on the matter because I don't like digital paper trails, suffice to say that I agree.

I used to be much the same, Leary of contacting reps that I didn't agree with, not signing petitions that were questionable (secession), didn't like putting my address or phone number down, etc.

Well, I am done. They are gonna have a paper trail or e-paper trail no matter what we do, talk on a phone, use the internet and click on a link that resembles some tin foil... hell, i bet this board as well as pirate or any other shooting, wheelin, fishin etc. board puts you on a list somewhere just based on content. that fear is a way of silencing us, their bosses! I am mad as hell right now, they're taking our freedoms, our wheelin land, our businesses, our way of life! I am sick of worrying about what i say and sick of losin it all. I will keep following the proper communication outlets and speaking my mind to those who work for me because if we lose all that this country stands for, what is the point? I will always use extreme tact in what I say, but silence me not. To be silent is to serve unto your servants.

Not picking at you at all Matt, just like I said I have felt stifled from fear and its got me in knots... This is what they are counting on.

I think you read that wrong: Where did I say I wouldn't make noise and contact my reps?

Yep, musta read it wrong. I read it as not wanting to communicate at all due to the digital trail. :beer:

[Mykal]

Still a good post in my opinion. A lot of people feel that way.

Unfortunately I don't see fat lazy 'Merica standing up any time soon, if ever. As a whole that is. The government has the nation divided.

[Super Scout]

We just need to do all we can do, I see our country divided into 3 groups. People like us, passionate about our rights, our money, and our country's future. Other people, who want to piss away our rights, want handouts from the government, and would like to see out country become something entirely different. And the last group people, who really just don't care, they don't think they have a voice, they believe the government will, and does whatever it wants, and basically just live their lives until they die. They don't have an opinion one way or the other, and if they did they wouldn't bother stating because, the government will do whatever it wants.
The issue is we are now the minority, so we need to make out point known, call your reps, tell them how you feel. Maybe if this bill goes thru as written there needs to be a statement made, maybe we need to make our voice known collectively. The government needs to be reminded who they work for.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Gov. Tom Corbett says he'll consider a radio-show caller's suggestion that gun shows be banned on publicly owned property.
The caller on WITF's "Smart Talk" radio show Friday asked the governor why gun shows are allowed at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg and whether he'd support a ban.
Corbett said no one has ever suggested the idea to him before and promised to give it some thought.

keep up the emails to all... Including obummer ^

for those of you who see no "need" for one of those evil black guns, just wait till your high powered, bolt action deer rifle is then considered a "sniper rifle". you will be next, join the fight

[Azzy]

This is more than just showing up and looking pretty infront of speakers. Its going to your reps and senators, face to face, and educating them, encouraging them, or repremaniding them in person. This goes a LONG way towards positive legislation in PA. if it did not, then the teachers union and ACORN would not bus in hundreds of people every few months on all sorts of topics for the same thing.

[justin'sbig7]

What about the one on feb. 8th?

[Super Scout]

^ Yeah I have been asking about that too...April 23rd maybe too late.

[Mykal]

Feb 8th it is for me.

[justin'sbig7]

hell, ill got to both. i can fit 5 in my truck very comfortably if anyone wants to ride out.

[Azzy]

Well, I know that one is officially setup by a rep in the house. The other is just tossed together by a guy on facebook. The former will have the benefit of media press releases and I can almost garantee that a tuesday is when you will catch the most congress-critters in house. By all means do go to both.

I am also aware that this seems a bit late, and have expressed it where I can. As soon as i am aware of buses that are being offered (usually at very little cost) I will let you know where to sign up.

[Azzy]

This one will have a bit more impact as well: http://forum.pafoa.org/pennsylvania-...100-start.html

We need to counter those who want to abolish our rights. these people help get anti-gun politicians in office, and are who the news outlets come and talk to, even if their membership is on the decline.

well, that looks like a well put together deal. I hope the pro gun folks who go out do a good job of representin' as it sounds like the anti gun crowd being there are the typical libs. I will be there for this, same deal, i can fit me +4 in the truck... not gonna give up the front center seat unless it is occupied by a non sausage carrying individual :P

[Super Scout]

I can definitely make one of these, maybe two. Which ones would be a better choice to goto ? I just don't have the vacation time.

looks like the 23rd and the one in april have the most thought out and backed plan. the one on the 8th is a facebook organized thing, (i dont have facebook, just saw it posted on pirate)

[Azzy]

The one on the 23rd is a counter protest to CF-PA. the one on the 8th gives us the interior of the rotunda reserved, and is set up all official-like. The Metcalf rally is one we do every year, and the turnout after castle doctrine passed got embarrassing for gun owners in PA.

Im taking vacation time for both. Who wants to carpool for either?

CF-PA = Cease Fire Pennsylvania = Anti-2A people

What else don't you get?

[Super Scout]

Lol of the three which one would be most important to attend. Which one would we want the best numbers ? I'll go on the 23rd, I can go on the 8th, and I can go on the 23rd, just not all three.

[justin'sbig7]

IMHO the one on jan 23 is important to have big numbers since cease fire pa will be there as well.
