Gun Rights Study

[Ed_in_Sac]

I am getting lots of feedback, but not many people expressing that they would be willing to give an interview. I am starting the Literature review (glorified book report) today. This thing has to be done by January, I am on a time line.

It may be that people are just afraid of the "system." There are quite a few cases where a DA has prosecuted a dealer for "having heard something" or for very minor record keeping errors. Sometimes these revelations come from casual conversations to a "third party." Check out "Gun Rights Examiner" you may get a sense for why some are paranoia.

For the record, I am not a dealer or LEO, but am very active in shooting sports. IMO, what needs to be changed are not so much the laws, though some are overly restrictive, but rather the attitude of the media and frankly some academicians. We are tired of honest law abiding gun owners being painted as a "haters" or "kooks." As to openness generating good will for the "sport," I don't think the large scale media outlets are interested in positive gun ownership reporting. For me, the fear is that if there is media coverage of a training class or shooting event it will probably be distorted to serve the outlet's political agenda, just the way it is!

Again, this is all JMO, but I did take the time to give you an honest answer! :-)

Well, I said that you could post or send me the questions, but so far I have not seen anything.
