I'm proposing starting up a new grass roots pro-gun movement that will not be hierarchy based once it is up and running and will involve individuals going out into the community to win the hearts and minds of the American people one at a time on the issue of second amendment rights.
My idea is to gather up the material that will be used to argue and win people over. I think it is absolutely necessary for us to win over Democrats and moderates. Material would be available to whatever type of person you would like to try to win over, Democrat, moderate or republican (this one not being a major issue). While the anti-gun people are out there telling lies and making stupid arguments and denying debate to people willing to debate, we can be working in the community using real argument and good sound evidence.
There will be a packet printed out that is geared toward talking an individual into supporting the second amendment. You can give the individual the packet while going through one to highlight points, then give that person an open invitation to go to the shooting range with you and use your gun or rent one if they do not have one. I will post up samples next in order for you to see what kind of argument is to be made.
When you give the person the packet tell them that if they agree with what we are trying to do here consider giving them several packets so they can pass them on to more people and if they want to be part of the movement, you can supply them with the files needed to print out and make packets to give out on their own. Therefore this can multiply exponentially.
This movement after it gets started will not be headed by a leader and will involve people spreading the word to other people and the costs of printing and paper will be voluntary to the individual who wishes to protect his/her second amendment rights. This will not require lots of time, just print a few and then go somewhere and talk to people, you could introduce yourself and ask them if they support the second amdendment so they know you are not selling anything and you would also tell them you are not collecting donations or signatures, just talking to people.
In this thread, let’s discuss possible arguments that we can present to people within the final draft of the packets that we will be printing out.
I have produced one argument that I'll post here shortly.
