oh i haven't called the state reps yet. i had thought of calling mine and asking about the bill from wyoming.

The Ruger one does all those plus your state reps as well, it sends letters out to a huge list of people.

[ryan_ricks]

this form will do the same thing: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/...046526&type=ML

also: http://boehner.house.gov/

i haven't called his office yet, though.

Ruger has set up a quick, easy, and painless way to contact ALL your reps at once.
It takes less than 1 minute.

It's worth doing, they are feeling the heat from what I have been hearing and reading and the pressure must be kept up.

Hopefully that Wyoming bill passes, then other states do the same.

Looks like Tenn is already heading that direction.

At least Wyoming has got a set of balls.

Yeah you laugh about that now LMS but it's comming. We already have govenor chips to restrict speed and I think removing them is a crime of some sort.

lol, kinda funny but really where does it end if they get away with banning guns?

Not only is our population larger, but its more spread out and there's a ton of Americans who live in the middle of nowhere & have to worry about having to kill a bear, bob cat, wolf, etc. The British people don't have any apex predators to worry about, since they drove them all to extinction centuries ago. If you live in a rural part of the US, response time if you ever actually need the police can be quite a while. I find the people who look to Britain as the model for US policy are the same types of people who assume all Americans could easily give up their cars & take public transportation. They simply don't understand what its like to have to get in a car and spend an hour driving to get somewhere.

I like how they say "balanced reporting". Yes, when it makes their agenda looks more favorable. I hate Fox spin and most of the affiliates are just as bad.

It just so happens that my agenda coincides with their agenda in this instance, but it's still annoying as fuck :/

Not to mention they didn't even mention the fact that our population is way over that of Brittan. http://www.usa-vs-uk.com/population.html

I'm not saying they did that to make their side look better, because that statistic would have only helped them and our cause. I'm saying they withheld it because they're incompetent assholes.

Apparently like the tides...

Yeah but Feinstein had that bill already written before the school shooting, and has tried to introduce other gun ban legislation in the past.
I will agree on the knee jerk reactions in this country but there is more to it than that.

All bad ideas have to come from somewhere. i.e. There was very little about the patriot act that was a new idea. Enough people wanted something done so they expanded powers that had been created in the past to deal with organized crime [rico] to make it look like they were doing something about the "terrorism problem."

After Columbine Hillary & Lieberman wanted to implement FCC-style regulation of video games, and take titles like doom off the market. Fucking civil liberties, how do they work?

All of the recent shenanigans have left me wishing my ar could do 7.62x54. I hope the 3d printing technology gets far enough along to address that deficiency.
