So where did it go? January, I mean, where?
It is almost over, and I did have a birthday, I did go shooting my rifles, I did write to three current representatives of the fine people of Washington State about my concerns with the lack of government participation in the establishment of public ranges, rifles and ammunition for the militia. Nice thing is that Senator Murray and Congressman Adam Smith did respond - not with any promises of building any ranges nor buying the militia any rifles and ammunition - but that they had heard my views on the 2nd Amendment and what they had done about such issues before them (some were good, more not). A few million more voters writing them might get more attention, if there really are only forty million owners of arms in the United States - at forty-two cents per envelope the United States Post Office would appreciate the letter writing campaign - if they can go to five day delivery. Shucks, the eight year old girl with the pink stocked bolt action single shot should write one - she can shoot, with safety, effect and enthusiasm (it was a family affair - too cool). What was the reason for removing rifle clubs from the school systems? Not enough adult supervision in schools? Anyway, I did finish the month with some fine volunteers helping shooters become more proficient in pushing pellets through paper with precision. It was a good month for safe, sane keeping and bearing arms by People of the United States of America, thank you Founding Fathers. Will continue to bring the remainder of the country up to speed on a citizen's responsibility, as I work on all my personal weaknesses - like weight, exercise and humility.
