For website, use large font, bold faced headings and bullet point subheadings, such as:I am open to all ideas from flyers to signs to bumper stickers, etc. Share your ideas and how we can make them happen at a grassroots level. The big boys are unlikely to bail us out on this one and media is not on our side. We need participation by all gun owners, even those who don't normally hang out with each other.
GUN LAWS DON't WORK
Proposed measures would not have prevented any of these crimes:
Followed by brief examples of gun crimes, preferably the anti's favorite mass shootings, where the firearms used were illegally obtained, or the proposed laws are irrelevant. Stick to bullet points, minimize the amount of text which must be read, go for impact, such as:
- XXX School shooting, shooter stole gun from ___________.
- XXX shooting, shooter used stolen firearm
- X% of crimes are committed with stolen firearms
- Only X% of crimes are committed with so-called assault weapons.
Again followed by bullet points explaining how rights of the law abiding would be infringed by the proposed measures and/or examples of how current gun laws haven't reduced crime.
Avoid lengthy explanations, or if needed follow bullet points with a "Read more" link where detailed explanations can be given.
Just a few ideas off the top of my head. I won't be offended if you don't use them or if you modify them in any way, but if they help your creative process in any way I 'll be glad for that. I can't code but I did work on state websites as a usability analyst for a number of years so IF you'd like me to help with design features or review layout for navigability, etc., I'll be glad to do that. Just let me know.
