[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 745882, member: 61637"] Sidecar, I agree with everything that you have written in your post and have been trying to become more proactive. Last night I wrote CNN new in an attempt to relate what is going on to an attack on their (and mine) beloved 1st amendment. I wish I had saved the letter, but I unfortunately did not before I hit send. I asked how they might react if someone told them that their news articles could only be 500 words in length, and if they were not allowed to write on some topics at all. I also described to them how in my state of Nebraska we have an annual high school state trap shoot in which nearly 1300 students 6th-12th grade compete and shoot hundreds of rounds at clay targets. I explained that there have never been any injuries at this event and the reason is because these students are not only aware of guns and the safe way to use them, but have also been taught to respect them and others by their parents and coaches. The letter was rather lengthy and very professional. I would hope to get a reply, but I doubt that I do. It was simply my attempt to educate the uneducated. We will see what happens. I think we all need to take steps like these to spread our message. What do you guys think? Joe [/QUOTE]
