The Other 1%: NRA Members. The Rest of Us Are the 99%.

We should not bow to the 1%. Instead, we should make our wishes known to our legislators on this issue of firearms proliferation and control of our society by those who own them.

I own firearms, but would not join the NRA in a million years, nor am I a person who objects to national and local firearms registration. In fact, I'm in favor of it, along with limitations on magazine capacity and other elements of civilian firearms.

I have, and will continue to contact my legislators, both state and federal, regardless of their political party and tell them how I feel about this issue and what I believe needs to be done. I encourage everyone in the 99% who are not rabid about 2nd Amendment issues to do the same. That will be the most effective thing we can do to influence the future with regard to firearms.
