Sorry USMC_0311 have been taking a 48 hour BREAK from the 2nd Amend stuff. It got to the point where I was just thinking and thinking scared of what is to come and reading on here and elsewhere how everyone is panicking and buying guns and ammo.

I was noticing that I was going crazy trying to read and post and read and post some more and feeling helpless as the situation. I'm in a real uphill battle in NW Indiana as
1) my US REP is Visclosky which is an NRA F rate rep and the few times I have mailed him stuff he replies with what he thinks is best for me and the rest of us. I must give him credit for voting NO to the $700b bailout but he is no friend of the 2nd Amend and unless I can convience all of NW Indiana on this issue he is going to vote for the AWB.

2) Our Senators well you and I are in the same boat with those reps.

So as you can see I had to take a small break and regroup my thoughts.


Here is what I really need some help with.

1) Sample letters (1 pagers) that I can sit down with someone have them read it and then hand write their own based of it.

My goal is simple, start with a list of friends that have never gone to the range. Take then and let them fire the .22, go to eat afterward and then tell them it was fun right? Too bad it will be banned soon and explain the situation and then get the to write a letter on the spot. =)

Can't take everyone with me but for those that I can't a small 1 pager on what "really" is an Assault Weapon. Too many people I talk to think they can go into a gun store/show and walk out with an AK-47 or black gun that shoots full auto just like the movies. They are surprised when I tell them you can not that those guns can not be bought by civilians that only semi-auto which I explain and they have this look of like "what? I bullet per pull?"
