desertdog Report post Posted November 11, 2008 Well folks I started this topic on Tuesday watching the election seeing BO would be our next President. I am glad to see this topic has gotten a lot of views and posts. There has been some great discussion and ideas shared, such as going the NRA, SCI, contact your Congress and Senate. But the best idea that has been a common thread on this thread is STICK TOGETHER. As sportsman, hunters and defenders of the second amendment that is the key. We have to reach out, speak out, and be open to new ways of protecting our god given right. Just as all of you I am not ready to sit and watch as our rights are taken from us one by one. Now is the time to encourage others to take notice of what is going on with our rights, persuade as many as we can to join organization's like the NRA, SCI and others to help defend EVERYONES right. It may sound corney but together we can make a difference. We can protect our rights, and quite frankly we have the responsibility to do just that.

DD I agree with you that we need to stick together but I think we also need to remember that we are the minority. I hate to use the example but the banning of gay marrage in cali and our amendment to the state constitusion is a great example. Do you think that the guys stuck together to fight it? They sure did but the majority won. What I'm saying is that we also need to reach out, or at least keep a good image, to the non sportsman. I've said it once but I'll say it agian, I'm glad we have science on our side. Well the logical science. my $0.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are the minority but if we pull together and speak out and influence others beyond our tight knit group we will make a difference. It can be as simple as reaching out for youth in your neighborhood and taking them hunting. My Kids have a friend that comes from a single family home. His mother is not a hunter and would never think of taking him out. This past Dove season I asked his mother if she would mind if I took him with me and my kids dove hunting. She agreed and he loved every minute of the trip. His mom loved that her son was able to get out and learn something like that, and her son will be a hunter from know on. You are right, we need to keep a positive image to non sportsman and the community. There are many ways to do so. If we put our minds to it we can come up with some very creative ideas.

bowsniper Report post Posted November 11, 2008 God is in controll, not Conservative or Liberals, Dems or Republicans, capitalist or socialist. I agree, 100%! He has a plan and His will will be done. That doesn't mean that road to his will will be easy or even seem desirable. It also doesn't mean that we should sit back and do nothing. If we are in Christ, our actions will lead us to His will.
