As my friend, Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp said, The Second Amendment ain't about duck hunting. We need allies. Politicians don't turn on us. If it had been necessary for him to gain the Presidency, even Bill Clinton would have been pro-gun. Perception is reality.
All politicians can count.
We need the environmentalists. We need the libertarians, the churches, the unions, the doctors, the sociologists, and the teachers. We need the children. Most of all we need the voting public. If we have them, the media and politicians will follow.
