Protecting the Second Amendment

[montana]

Stanc, the best method to instruct and teach the true use of the AR-15 and the Second Amendment is by befriending people and taking them to the rifle range. I have friends who came to the US from France who had nothing but disdain for hunting and firearms. The mother would not even go into a room if a BB gun was present. Today she has shot in many local matches and both her and her husband own many firearms. Today they laugh about their former hoplophobia but they stressed to me that a life time of anti gun propaganda can not be changed over night. All gun owners are at a disadvantage when it comes to positive air time compared to the oppositions. It is no mistake most gun owners are portrayed in movies as ignorant, unemployed, white bigots This is why all gun owners must speak up and educate people about the truth. Firearm education must come from moral people who are trusted and respected or it is all for nothing so always be on your best behavior. The AR-15 is one of the, "if not the most" popular rifle in the United States. When the pro gun side talks about firearm education it means explaining the truth and responsibility of gun ownership. When the anti-gun people talk about gun education it means lying and fear mongering propaganda. The best education comes from the shooting sports where most firearm fears seem to melt away and is replaced by understanding and the love of shooting.
