The problem with the gun debate is that the media and our corrupt, criminal politiians get to make their gun ban argument when the listener is safely inside their home behind locked doors, and with really nothing to fear. Its an easy sell for the mostly idiot public out there.
Gun groups have never understood that, and cannot compete with a corrupt media that just succeeded in electing a socialist president.
Here's an idea anyone can easily put into use.
What our pro-gun organization did here in NJ was to print small self-adhesive vinyl labels of about 1 in. tall by 4 in. wide. They were printed from waterproof bumper sticker material.
One a white background we hade the statement:
"Look Around You .......
.... The Nearest Cop Will Never Even Hear Your Screams"
First line in Blue, second in blood red, and in a horror style type font.
then in small print we had
"Citizens Committe For Self-Defense, and our address"
We printed thousands and tried to get NRA and state NRA organization to back the idea but they couldnt care less, as anyone familiar with NRA can understand. Too controversial they said.
We had members put them where the public would find them - All ALONE. Like in phone booths, taxi stands, dark and crime ridden areas, etc.
And it scared the living shit out of people. We got calls and letters from outraged public saying that they were very frightened by the message and that it was unfair. Politicians got to some of the larger gun groups leadership to find out who was behind it and criticized our actions.
One woman said she was making a phone call and was so terrified thinking she might be attacked that she had to hang up the call and leave it made her so nervous.
And that's what its all about. If you want to make an impact, make the public realize their vulnerability. The copy on the sticker is about the most frightening I could come up with and was very effective.
Give it a try. Its very cost effective.
