Think Your Guns are Off the Grid?
USA -(AmmoLand.com)- I have had conversations with gun owners from time to time who don't want to get involved in the gun rights movement. Two reasons stand out from my interaction with them. One is lethargy, often associated with the notion that "they are not after my kind of gun." The other is a fear of being a target of radical gun prohibitionists enforcing some sort of gun ban. I will address each of these here, pointing out possible flaws with each position.
Adherents to this notion have believed that the gun grabbers were not interested in their particular type of firearms hardware. Gun owners have historically been divided into several groups, with often overlapping edges. You have hunters, target shooters, plinkers, and defensive carriers; each group with their own interests. Hunters may only fire a handful of shots each year, a few sighting in shots at the beginning of the season, and then what's necessary to take their chosen game. This group has been derogatorily labeled by some as Fudd's after Elmer Fudd, of Looney Toons fame.
Well now, we've all heard that Elmer has had his gun banned. Instead, he is left with the Grim Reaper's scythe. So maybe your double barrel is not safe, nor that old bolt action. After all, bolt action rifles are the "sniper's weapon of choice".
They are not after your hunting gun now, but maybe later. These Goldilocks gun grabbers can never find a gun that is just right (for you to keep).
Others adhere to the notion that if they keep a low profile, they are safe from the gun grabbers. Let's explore this low profile idea...
