Politicians have to explain why they vote Yes or No on proposed laws. Sometimes they really need your help in composing explanations to their constituents. If we have the right people in power, antigun laws will not be passed. The laws are what matter. The anti-rights crowd can hold all the gun control seminars and news conferences they want, but nothing will happen unless they can pass more laws.
Politicians pass laws.
Therefore, you must get involved in politics to protect your gun rights. There is just no way to get around this. I don't like politics either. Avoid those shrill folks who sound threatening or talk about doomsday. It's a waste of your time.
