Something I have observed. It seems a large portion of folks are neither pro or anti gun. Many seem to have no emotional investment either way. Many just don't have guns or the desire to own them while at the same time not having the desire to keep me from owning them. These are the folks, IMHO, that we need to get on our side.
Nobody is going to turn some anti-gun, Jesus hating nut job liberal into a pro-gun NRA member. Why waste time trying. Heck, I have to work hard just to resist punching them. I sure don't want to tempt fate by starting a debate with them. I know I would end up in jail...
.My point is. We need to work on getting the middle of the road folk with us. Many of them are possibly swayed by taking them shooting and getting them interested. I have yet to take anyone shooting for the first time who did not just eat it up and want more. Making sure they realize that being silent is the same as being in agreement with the anti-gun mob. Many of the middle of the road folks are just sitting by thinking the laws don't affect them.
I do something else that seems to help introduce the NRA. I take my American Rifleman magazines to the office after I get done with them. I just leave them laying out for other folks to pick up and read. I also leave them at the doctors office and other places I visit.
