What to do.

Obama is going to be president. Eric Holder is tapped to be his AG. Hillary Clinton may be Sec. of State. It seems the rest of the positions will also be filled by Chicago and Clinton era insiders and cronies.

What can we do?

Support your local FFL dealer, distributor, and gun shows.

Purchase a new firearm. Even if it's not something you would normally get, it can be used as an investement. "Pre-ban" classified firearm prices increased dramatically after the Clinton gun ban and one can expect the same when (not if) Obama decides he has enough political capital to push for his own.

Can't afford a new firearm? That's fine.

Today is National Ammo Day. I picked up a box of Remington 7.62x39 for myself, a box of .223 for my FIL , and a box of 9mm for my BIL's X-mas gifts. Well within my budget. Ammo purchases, however, do not need to be limited to just today.

Support the cause.

Join as many pro-rights organizations as you can, national, state, and local.

Don't like the NRA? Fine. There's the SAF, GOA, JPFO, and numerous others*.

Follow the traditional methods as well. Write your congress-critters, letters to the editor, attend local council meetings, etc. Make your voice heard. It does work.

PAY ATTENTION!!

Watch the news, check up on bills and legislation, read the websites and blogs. Your ignorance is their strength. At a talk during the 2008 NRA convention, nearly 1/3rd of the audience had never heard of the NOLA firearm confiscations. IL state senator Kotowski (Brady Endorsed BTW) attempted to sneak through a magazine ban by attaching it to a bill increasing penalties on child abuse. To quote Bryan Miller "This is how they roll".


*This does not include the anti-gun front group American Hunters and Shooters Assoc. though. Just send your money straight to the Brady Campaign instead.

Don't forget to stock up on hi-cap mags as well. Another easy way to show support, make an investment and stay within budget.

While stick mags number in the millions and will lag behind an EBR's instant value increase, I have no doubt that drum mags will be the gold standard.
