Any you a grad school student!! That's eighth grade math!! Shame, shame, shame! "Lazy"? Is it harder to push the four keys for 1600 than the four keys for 1000?

2nd grade math but I get the point.

Since the thread got some more attention, I'd like to point out that the Moms Demand Action crowd has been mingling with the Black Lives Matter Crowd. Both have been using the BLM style cards/posters of Disarm Hate hashtag (font, black with white bold letters, etc). Must be nice having funding from two socialist billionaires. And I know Hilary has been wanting the BLM support, and with the other anti-gun group already backing the traitor, it's looking like it will be a clear anti-gun stance from the democrats in KY, with no room for discussion on the importance of gun rights and how they decrease violence.

I was (and still am) a slow learner, so I didn't master it until the eighth grade, but I got it down, now.

Normal state of things for the last few years. Where do you suppose Daryl Owens stands on all of this? It is just more evidence that the dems. have to go. It doesn't matter if they claim to be pro-gun, it doesn't even matter if they are pro-gun, if they are dems., they have to go. It doesn't matter how they go. They can not be elected initially, not be re-elected or voluntarily switch parties, but dems. have to go. We should even get some police unions on our side for a change. I'd guess they have changed their minds on who their friends are. They are probably not the only unions to feel that way. November should be very interesting and January even more so. Everybody is starting to put their cards face up on the table. Showdown!

Ante up.

Great idea. But how do people organize? How do they get together and talk to said unions, groups, and put the political pressure on politicians. I would rather say, not political pressure, but get reason across. I don't want wimpy politicians who bend when some small group starts whining, but rather use their brains and morals to make decisions in-line with the Constitution. Can Bevin remove Owens? I think that gun owners in KY, grouped by area/city, should know each other better and stand together. Especially depending on the outcome of this election season. But how? the anti-gun groups seem to be growing, and now each other very well as evident by the same faces I am seeing at their meetings. But for me at least, I can only say I know a dozen pro-gun guys who would join me in support. That should change in the next coming months with new activities I'm planning in Louisville with people more my age, and hopefully it can grow from there.

I used my spam trap junk e-mail account to register with Citizens for Trump and have received nothing from them. Now I see that e-mail providers are filtering TRUMP by default.

I have not noticed that. I get a lot of Republican stuff, even though I'm not a Republican. Still get some Trump stuff, especially through Facebook. Facebook HAS been blocking my campus carry efforts, my messages reached 800 people on average in the winter, now down to 10ish despite having more people like the pages.

Hmmm I'll have to think about how to change that. At least with folks that I talk to here, they are getting a lot more interest with infringments like HI and CA happening. But there you have it, working men can't/won't take a day off like a stay-at-home misguided mother will.

Over on AR-15, people ask "How do these people go to these rallies on a work day?". Well, the answer is obvious, they take off work. Gun owners won't do that. They'd take off for the NCAA tournament or a NASCAR race, but not for a pro gun rally. Not even a half day. We are going to lose, because we won't even put up a fight.

I think it's more correct to say that these people don't work or are paid to protest. Many of the big anti-gun rallies bus people in also. This doesn't change the facts or outcome merely it exposes the strategy they are using. However, you make an excellent point. Next year I'm making it my goal to spend vacation days lobbying/protesting for gun causes!
