Well then lets act and get the ball rolling.
A couple of my other hobbies are high power rocketry and I have been into firearm shooting as a recreational enjoyment.
The rocketry hobby actually went through several different actions against the US government. The BATFE specifically and homeland security dept. Claiming our propellant is an explosive. We started a grassroots movement. Got several congress and senate members involved. Eventually the two rocketry organizations/clubs filed a law suit finaced by donations from people in the hobby. After a several year battle we won and rocketry was free from the regulation. Of course everyone knows about guns recently. They also know that currenty the big federal gun ban was shot down as well.
Things can be won. Bills can be shot down. But action must be taken. We must act in an organized but fast action. The best way to win is to get powerful backing. The higher the amount of backing the better it is. Id be willing to bet other big groups may help back the cause. Numbers and groups with political push power speak volumes.
While I understand why they want to try and create these laws due to the few idiots that ruin it for the many. The knee jerk overreaction to create stifling laws that would kill the hobby arent the answer. There are other answers. Things that we as responsible hobbyists should help advise our representatives on doing.
I know I won't sit by while dim witted uknowing burocratic people in our government who are supposed to be representatives of me and others try to create stupid laws that ruin life because they think they know better.
This doesn't make me fearful. It pisses me off.
Sorry for the rant.
