I think it is time to get with our reps at the capitol. I have a state Senator that is not going through an election this year, but my state Representative is. The incumbent is not running, so I have 2 new guys running,and I'll need to talk to all 3 of them. It may be best if we discuss what we will say to them. Each of us should make an appointment to talk to them in person.
I've come up with a few things I want to say. Below is a list and I may come up with more later. We need suggestions from everyone.
1. The 2A givesthe individual citizenthe right to KEEP and BEAR arms (per D.C. v Heller).Bring along notes. Among them should be the exact definition of these 2 words, straight from a dictionary or http://www.dictionary.com.
2. No other Right do we have to take a class for.
3. No other Right do we need to pay a tax to exercise. (Use the word TAX, not fee) Mention that this is akin to a poll tax.
4. No other Right do we have to get permission from the government to exercise. (Use the word permission, not permit or license)
5. If you are Christian, or if he/she is,refer to Luke 22:36. He said to them,"But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." This demonstrates that even Jesus wants us to be armed. These are His words, not mine.
Let's see how many serious points and questions we can come up with. I am in limbo waiting to get appointment times with all 3 guys. Take a little time to do this and it will show that this is a big movement and that we are in solidarity. Come on Texas, we can get this passed if everyone commits.
