I truly appreciate your fair and reasoned criticism of our shortcomings. We are aware of these things and we have no interest in recruiting members that don't want to do anything. We are not a do all, be all gun rights organization. We have specific goals. People like Ghost1958 don't like it that we don't push his agenda. We never will. We will push our agenda, at our pace. If people find that unacceptable they can always start their own organization and then they can push other peoples' agendas. We are not committed to solving all problems for all people. Right now we are interested in two things, HB 529 and HB 610. We are working to get them passed. Ghost1958 is working to block them. Which is the best course for Ky, gunowners? Everyone gets to decide for themselves. I have never believed it was in our best interest to reject a good bill just because it is not a perfect bill. KC3 will support any bill that moves the right to keep and bear arms forward, even if that movement is tiny. In a few days, this legislative session will be over and we will shift to other work; mainly, preemption violations.
Thank you for the reply.
Not shortcomings...look at it as unsolicited marketing advice on how to increase your reach across the state. If 10 folks apply to be members and only one is willing to "do" something, that is one more doer than you had yesterday. The other nine may be nothing more than heralds for the cause...which is doing something...after all...numbers matter to our political critters.
Unless, of course, KC3 is concerned with too many cooks in the kitchen...so to speak...KC3 would not be the first organization to have to deal with this situation...careful management of expectations is the key.
Missouri is a "constitutional carry" state, less that pesky
RSMo 21.750 exemption, and there is a noticeable decrease in the magnitude of efforts to repeal prohibited places. We are working on polling places on voting day (
RSMo 571.107), likely easier to get. K-12 schools carry is a long way off, if ever, despite the encouraging words from our state level political critters to the contrary. But "we" continue to work one small item at a time from many corners of the state.
There is, at many times in Jeff City, duplication of efforts to be sure, but this sends the message to our political critters, I believe, that folks from all across the state are interested in gun rights and some folks are willing to put in the time, effort, resources. These disjointed efforts are important indicators to our critters...they do notice.
We have some conflicts between
RSMo 571.030 and 571.107 that we keep highlighting to our critters...we shall see.
Again, congratulations on your victories and keep up the good work.
