Re: Do we *do* anything here? Or just talk?
Hey Bern,
Thanks for the thoughtful response. If anything I said came off as rude I apologize, it's not my intention I just have a tendency to get a bit crass when I'm fired up.
And I'm fired up because every day, locally and nationally, our rights are constantly under threat of revocation from a group of people who think they know what's best for me. The constant major media echo chamber propogates this message as soon as it leaves the politicians/activists mouth, and there is no one there to refute it on the same level. I recognize a need that's not being filled, and that's a genuine, no bullshit, possibly even impolite voice throwing the nonsense back in their faces. We need a legally and factually sound representation of our natural rights.
I know I'm new around here. I'm fairly new to the "gun culture" in general, having spent most of my life as a serf in the DPRNJ. The rtkba (and taxes) were the main driving force for getting me out of that shithole and I'll be damned to watch the commonwealth get over run by grabber type mentality.
The local groups that we have a a great tool. I was pretty disappointed to see the FOAC leadership buckling to the *potential* for a negative public opinion of OC at the pbrg rally, but in the end it went off without a hitch. I do appreciate their efforts and am glad we at least have one group, but again... 13 million people in this state... 1.3 million ltcf holders... We are not being adequately represented. MUCH smaller interest groups get far more attention on the local and national levels because they squeek louder.
I'm very much torn on the NRA. Their capitulation in the bump stock ban left a bad taste in my mouth, and the ease with which a foreign agent managed to work her way into the ranks is a bit unsettling. I do however realize that letting the NRA crumble would be about the worst thing the LAGOs could do right now. I like the message of the GOA but good lord did the one Pratt brother make an ass of himself on that HBO show. However, they do seem to be the most hard-line defenders of the 2A, and for that I support them.
I too am skeptical of damn near everything. I think you have to be these days to survive. I don't have a ton of cash to spare either, which is why I'd love to see a decent, trustworthy, uncompromising member of this group who has the time, the knowledge, and the passion make it their job to go get in the ears of our "Representatives" every damn day and make sure that they are REPRESENTING US. We're being drowned out by the white noise.
I'd love to learn more about the volunteer lobbying efforts, and I'll certainly get in touch. I do my part in the ballots, and I'm willing to give what I can to help. I'll be in touch.To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them."

Re: Do we *do* anything here? Or just talk?
Just a concerned citizen man. "United we stand, divided we fall.". These words ring true. If other, much smaller/fringe-ier groups can prompt national attention and action in their support, there's no reason we can't. Unless we're too complacent, too happy with what we've got to realize it can disappear.
Also very much looking forward to the hat.To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them."

Re: Do we *do* anything here? Or just talk?
Andy. .. you know the deal with PAFOA already.. FOAC and Open Carry PA are both very active in PA.. ask them what you can do..
Yes some feelings got hurt by asking for people to leave their scary black guns home for the Pittsburgh rally.. but none of these groups are professionals and most are run by volunteers like yourself.
I think another new Pro 2nd Amendment group would just further distract.. why not join forces with FOAC or GOA or Open Carry PA and build a following in your part of the state?
