In typical fashion, one before one can do anything to unhorse these morons, they fall off the horse themselves. This proposed amendment is the best piece of marketing literature the NRA could ever hope to possess. The folding glossy brochures that LaPierre has come up with are excellent, but by introducing this amendment the gun-grabbers have given us something better than anything we could ever have hoped to invent. Take the published copy of the proposed amendment, as published to this list, and run it through a typesetting/page composition program, to get bold fonts on the headings, etc. and turn it into an official-looking document (which it is, really). Then start handing it out, posting it, and faxing it wherever necessary. The effect on gun owners who have been unwilling to this point to face up to the facts, will be surprising. And be sure to have an NRA membership application, preferably with an envelope, in your hand right when you show it to someone. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to leave stacks of the printouts in the literature racks at gun stores and anywhere else you can think of, with an NRA membership form attached.
