But until someone actually does make a federal case (pardon the pun) out of this, there are just too many legislators out there who are comfortable with the way things are now...And thats unfortunate...
"Txi" did mention as to why be a "pain" about the whole situation, or "waddaya going to do?" approach to this deal...I tend to agree with him on that premise...As much as I'd love to make a federal case about it...I suppose there wouldn't be much of a combined groundswell of more than 3-4 people willing to make waves...
If the TSRA and or NRA were to make a push on this then it might make it to some committee to be discussed...But other than making a few phone calls ourselves to see if there is the interest at this point of broaching the subject, I don't see much happening here...
Don't get me wrong, I think there are tons of things that need to be done to un-fetter our right to keep and bear arms...And anything I can do to (and encourage others to do) stir the pot, without becoming a "pain" I generally do, just to stay on the radar...
So:
Make the phone calls...
Write the letters and emails...
Follow up...
When you manage to run into them in your district or elsewhere, press the issue...Ask them what they think about it...And if they tell you they need time to think about it, accept that at face value, and tell them you'd like to follow up on that in a few weeks...Give them time to work it...
At which point you'll know if the issue has legs or not...Then...
"Waddya gonna do?"
Thats about it in a nutshell...
