The answer isn't easy, it isn't inexpensive, and it will require an
ochestrated effort of millions - education and marketing.

Honestly, that's what the gun-nuts have, a concerted effort to demonize
gun owners and manufacturers.  To conter-act that will require
dedication, patience, and communication.

When and where do we start?  Not with www.barrelfirst.com that's for
sure.  I got a spam mail from them the other day, and was concerned
about their tactic - it looked like anti-gun nuts trying to lure gun
owners in with some hostile stance that they thought might appeal to all
of us - only to turn the tables on us and say "see! I told you they were
all a danger to society!"

Instead, I think *all* gun owners need to work with organizations like
The Good Gun Club:

At least that's my opinion, I could be wrong but I don't think so.

Taking it up the ass and asking for another is *not* the way to go.
