It is important for all firearm owners and shooters to put their differences aside and stand completely together when it comes to gun rights issues or this type of insanity will take over. When I first started in practical shooting there were just a hand full of families who competed together. Today there are many families involved and competing together. I encourage all shooters to introduce people from all walks of life to the shooting sports. The more non shooters we bring into into the shooting sports the less crazy anti gun laws will be created by want to be dictators. I have turned many people from the dark side and during the process added more people to my friends list. It is great to see an individual who has replaced their misunderstanding fear of firearms with the love of shooting. If the VA Highway patrol who pulled up to LRRP52 were three gun competitors they probably would have detained him longer talking about his equipment choices, tactics and up coming events rather than looking to pin a firearms fraction on him.
It is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Think if they pulled similar tactics on people for having abortion literature or porn. IT will take a SCOTUS ruling.
Nice thing is that the LOWFO (low information voters) are being moved out of DC. DC, Chicago and several other major cities are cutting Section 8 subsidizes thus forcing people to move. Chicago folks are moving to Indiana and DC is having people move to Prince George's and Prince William counties. Marion Barry is upset that DC is no longer the chocolate city (less than 50% black now days). All of these cities are being turned into yuppievilles with people who cost less in social services and pay higher taxes. And still vote democrat. But they also tend to express themselves such that many will push for expanded rights. Most young professionals tend to be liberal in the sense that they are libertarian.
