Well said. Obviously been thinking. Lest somebody try to “out” me-This is getting deep enough I have to be careful. I sit on a BOD at a big shooting range. I even mentioned a proposal here once. But I can/will not talk about that board, or as anything but as an individual citizen/self defense advocate. It’s just me. Not the range.
*Sorry about that, but necessary so I can be open and honest”

In my strong & humble opinion we have to start with what we can do right now. Upcoming months are crucial. Pass some of those laws while the momentum is fresh. I can only cross my fingers those regulations will be a lot harder on bad guys than responsible citizens with or without guns. Oh, and states legislatures-Don’t wait for Congress. You can start in the new session. Ways and means can overlap/adjust language as necessary.

For my part I favor instant check for all private party transfers and sales. (Gun show thing+)
The ten round limit. (Exceptions for L.E.)
A not quite blanket (Brinks!) ban of assault weapons as defined by configuration, capacity and caliber.
And more. Brevity is my friend I hope.

The only way for shooters to get around the NRA for now is just that-Go around. Shooting ranges can affiliate with the NSSF for example instead or form their own. Ranges do affiliate but not in a political sense. More like associations for insurance and technical/engineering/environmental resources. Club & range level up is the way to go.

As a guy with a lot of marketing experience-The NRA would have to dwindle. I really don’t see another organization overcoming that behemoth in less than a decade. Just the branding of anything new is years away.

Maybe I better Page this.
