Sir;
The newly elected Obama administration, supported by an emboldened Democrat majority in Congress, will surely initiate a new round of gun control measures in the coming 4 years. Their ambitions loom large and must be effectively fought by America's gun owners—but we can't do it individually or as separate groups no matter how fervent or well intentioned. We must come together and fight this as a well organized joint force of millions.We all share an interest in defending our Second Amendment freedom so we must hang together on this or as Benjamin Franklin warned, we will all hang separately. The coming battle is much too important to risk failure if we think individual groups can forcefully or successfully fight this battle when a coordinated effort would greatly enhance our chances of victory.I therefore strongly urge you to combine and coordinate your talents, resources and efforts with those of other gun organizations and gun manufactures so that the common voice of millions will completely overwhelm any opposition our adversaries can muster. As Patrick Henry said when his generation faced a similar threat.
"They tell us…that we are weak – unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be when we are totally disarmed...Three million people, armed in the holy cause of liberty…are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us."
Let's take the advice of both Franklin and Henry by combining our massive numbers in a coordinated way. 80 million gun owners, armed in the cause of defending freedom's foundation, would most certainly be a force the likes of which political America has never seen before. But those 80 million must have the unified leadership only you can provide by joining forces with other gun groups and businesses. We suggest the NRA, GOA or SAF take the lead in initiating a tele-conference with all the main players in order to begin the preliminary planning process for this proposed joint approach.Don't let the anti-gunners defeat us piecemeal. Please take the initiative to unite and synchronize your efforts in this coming battle—too much is at stake for us to even consider doing less for our country and our posterity.Sincerely,
