I love it.

That completely made my day.

He has to ASK who’s side Obama is on?

…really?

Bravo, Mr. Todd.
This, however, will be ignored just like the pleas of Magpul to CO. It has nothing to do with loss of revenue, jobs or in Mr. Todd’s case personal safety.

Fantastic letter, to bad it will be ignored.

We may still lose here in Colorado but I think that Magpul has actually made a few democrats and Hickenlooper flinch. We may pull it off yet.

Some one needs to get this in a full page ad in the Denver Post… like ASAP.

The Colorado/Columbine connection could really help in the fight going on in CO

What does a full page ad cost in the Denver Post???

Good for him. I agree, too bad something like this will fall on deaf ears. Hopefully Fox news will pick it up or internet views will increase its circulation.

Good find, thanks for sharing it.

Why the negativity at such an early stage? This well written, coherent letter brings up all the valid points to reduce restrictions and expand the liberties. He has taken the POTUS to task. He asked the POTUS on “what side you on” not because he doesn’t already know. It’s to see how the POTUS responds to it. To try and get him on the record on a particular question. Good for him. This can grow if the letter is posted to all the social media sites, videos on YouTube, letters to the editors of local newspapers. The NRA should run with this. It only falls on deaf ears if we let it.

That was penned to me by a member, who cannot post in GD. I plan on doing this myself.

12

Well, it was just released today. So there’s time.

13

Javadrinkers idea is an excellent low cost way to keep hammering away. Thanks for posting his message. If we can get a lot of members in many of the gun forums to do this grassroots style of protest it can help sway a few if not more key Representatives and Senators in our favor. It’s up to us.

14

Agreed. Someone in CO, make a phone call and figure out the price of a full page ad.

15

Agreed.

Here is the Post’s switchboard #:

303-832-3232

They open at 8 mountain time.

Not sure if I can call b/c of work when they open but will try.

Wonder if a Sunday advertisement would cost more? I would think placing an ad on that day would reach more people

SPQR or RichFitz could probably answer this question. Maybe they’ll chime in.

17

Is The Blaze a credible source? Not being a smart ass, I don’t know as I never go to it. It might be good to verify the accuracy of Todd’s letter, directly with him if possible, first before making a big time mistake that could backfire.

BTW, I like what is said in Todd’s letter as published, I just don’t want our side to lose credibility by making a big public mistake if the published letter isn’t accurate.

18

A full page ad will surely cost thousands. Who’s paying?

Time is running out for a quick fund drive.

19

Maybe we can divert some funds from your “M4C Legal Defense Fund” :stuck_out_tongue:

In all seriousness, I hope this gets attention. It may be one of the better “layman’s terms” summaries of why gun laws don’t work and why we should own them. It’s relatively short and to the point so that those with short attention spans can read and understand it!

Nicely done. We need more of that.
