(Please don't harp on the name, we can work that out later
)I was thinking today about how completely ignorant many lawmakers are regarding terminology and it hit me.... Many of these "Anti" lawmakers have never been taught the basics. I don't mean shooting, although that might be included, but how about a real, honest FACTUAL "Firearms Basics" presentation, geared especially for lawmakers, delivered by a credible "Instructor" (State Police Chief comes to mind, that sort of "expert", but, something like this might work better as a 1 on 1 class to prevent grandstanding and minimize groupthink).
When DiFi can't tell you what a barrel shroud is, of course she's incapable of drawing a dispassionate, informed conclusion about AR's. Now, I hold no illusions about "converting" DiFi. But it's been my experience that people who take the time for an honest education invariably come away less opposed.

Maybe it's a pipe dream, but, I'm willing to put my time where my mouth is, if I was convinced that there'd be an audience for it.
Anybody (NRA?) ever tried it? What was the result?
I'm sure the seminar could be developed with the resources on this forum, but, how do we get legislators (especially Anti's) to actually attend? I'm tired of feeling helpless about all this. I'm ready to do something more constructive than write letters and make phone calls.
Thoughts?
