Thanks RW, I am going to send that link back out to some others...
This is a very good article explaining why we, as gun owners, have a duty to vote and protect the Constitution. It also talks of becoming educated on the issues and candidates.
Your Duty as a Gun Owner to Vote

Yea, thanks. I've sent the link along to some friends, too.
Thanks for the post. I too think we have a duty to vote. However it is not always easy to tell who are the real supporters of the 2nd Amendment. The first President Bush and Senator Dole come to mind as two of the traitors to the 2nd Amendment that tried to portray themselves as supporters. Frankly I have become very cynical when it comes to believing anything that politicians say any more.

That's why researching past voting records, if available, is always a good thing. I rarely listen to campaign ads because they are usually targeted for a particular area and say what is wanted to be heard. If it's a brand new candidate with no previous voting record I try to research organizational affiliations, etc. What a person supports financially will tell quite a bit about what to expect from them.
The Kentucky Primary was today. I voted, even though I had to literally take two vidodin to get me feeling like walking and talking to anyone.
I did my part.

It is now or never as far as making a difference. There are enough people fed up with the way that Washington DC and our state and even local governments are bowing down to special interest money. The only message to send is the collective power of the people. This will be the year to use it or lose it forever.
Gun-owners need to get off their collective butts, get educated, and then vote. Had ALL the membership of the NRA voted in 2008, things likely would have been different. To know as much about our elected officials, as we do about our firearms, isn't too much to expect.
