His point, I believe, was that, without support from the population, all the political and legislative changes he could make are pointless.  If the majority of the people don’t want guns availible to the public, who are we, as gun enthusiasts to try to change that?  It may not be right.  I may not be possible.  So, the real work is not in Washington, it is in your own neighborhood.  We must re-educate the citizenry that has forgotten that guns are an important part of a civilized society.  We must take people out to shoot in a safe, enjoyable environment.  We must change the voters if we want to change the votes.

One listener had this to add:

Arthur Wood says:

I loved Morgan’s comment, “take someone shooting,” when asked how to help the Alan Gora’s work. I couldn’t agree more!!! The majority of Americans view guns as being negative. We need to take steps to change the general public’s perspective. I would like to add, because you were also talking of the NRA, the NRA has a fund raising banquets done by the Friends of NRA. Most NRA members are unaware of it. The banquets have raffles, live and silent auctions with NRA and donated items. All of the money raised goes directly to shooting programs, with 50% staying in the state it is raised. The programs include Boy Scouts, Eddie Eagle, youth shooting programs, women shooting programs and other programs. We NEED to change the anti-gun culture and the Friends of NRA is a great step in that direction. Keep up the great work guys.

One host that is enthusiastically promoting its press conference in that room is the Second Amendment Foundation, which has reserved the Wednesday, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. slot, for “McDonald v. Chicago, the Supreme Court case that could decide if the Second Amendment applies to states and their subdivisions.  Oral arguments are scheduled for March 2.”

The conference will feature Alan Gura, lead attorney for plaintiffs in the case, who also argued the Heller case.  He’ll preview key issues in the McDonald case.  Lawrence G. Keane, National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel for the amicus NSSF, will share the podium.  Also on hand will be officers of the plaintiff Second Amendment Foundation, Illinois State Rifle Association and other representatives of the amicus NSSF.
