In Burlington, city council advanced a vote to ban semi-autos so the local fish and game that allowed cops to train there for free... banned cops. LOL They said they could not support the city or officers due to the actions of the council.

We must keep reminding them who sent them to Congress, that they have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States, including the Second Amendment and that any vote in favor of further gun bans or gun restrictions will cost them hundreds of thousands of votes in the next election. Don't let up, and don't stop telling your congressional representatives how you feel on this issue!! It takes only a few minutes to contact them by email or phone and the time you take now may be what preserves your gun rights and the Second Amendment. The flood of emails that we can generate will be noticed!

A big Amen. Do it and get in the habit of doing it regularly. Many people still refrain from doing this for one reason or another, but once they start they find out how easy it is, and how empowering and good it feels. They work for us. Those we elect know that for every call or email they receive there are thousands more who feel the same but don't make the effort. Your call or email has the power of thousands behind it. I keep their local and DC phone numbers and web contact links handy.
