These Congressmen signed to limit your firearms rights. They are up for reelection. Whether or not they win, is up to you. If you are a paid member of these organizations and get their literature, is up to you whether to continue such and aid the finance in taking away your inherent rights. It is up to you whether or not to submit letters or emails demanding these institutions restrict their opinions to actual policy at hand and not politically correct opinions. As you can see, there are lots of organizations, police forces, cities, states, Congressmen, US Solicitor General of the US, college professors and medical profession are all in support of taking away our firearms rights in the name of violence, child safety, civil obedience, or some other trumped up claims. Stay complacent or do something now. Where is the NRA, GOA, other States amicus briefs in support of Heller, protests agaist these organizations using its authority to change fundamental rights by use of its membership, and massive indignation to these members of Congress for ignoring their oath of office to support the Constitution. Don't bit** and complain after the fact. I've written our Governor and requested Alaska submit an amicus brief in support of Heller and it appears from Statewide news that this is indeed going to happen. What about the pride in your State, can you say the same and or do nothing?
