6. And what exactly are you doing personally to bring a halt to this "poutrage"?

Or do you just whine online and consider your part done, as in "There, I sure told them off"?

Soooo ... Sent any gun control groups a check lately? (The other group has made it easy with addresses for all of them) How about giving up a couple days of work and pay to meet with state or federal legislators on gun control? Maybe attending a town hall to protest a new gun store or shooting range? Circulating any petitions to repeal concealed carry in your state or the 2nd amendment? Joined any local protests to stop the "death spewers" being sold in your community? Anything???

I also noticed you conveniently overlooked all the Democrats in Congress that won't vote for more gun control either.

The NRA is just a convenient excuse for the utter failure and irrelevancy of gun control and lackluster gun control supporters.

We get a lot of foaming at the mouth NRA haters down here, but surprisingly none of them ever seems to be able to cite any actual NRA site, speech, article or anything tangible for any of the things you claim. But "they all just know" they do those things, because they read it on the internet, so it must be true.

And none of the eager beaver gun control fans ever seems to actually do anything about their "deeply and passionately held feelings" about gun control. Well, besides whining online as if it matters in the real world.

"Lots of Hot Air, No Action"; seems to be the most popular gun control bumper sticker.
