Do you know when your representatives next town hall is? It's a great way to publicly praise them (if they are pro 2nd amendment) or put them on the hot-spot on answering questions in public on where they stand. Or educate the public on why they are wrong. You know the gun control MomsDemand or Ceasefire groups will be trying to peddle their fake-news where they can. No use in letting the politicians think the public is on their side. Speak up where it counts!
If we had only 3-4 people in each district on our side consistently showing up to town halls across the state, it can have a big impact even before the first gun-control bill is introduced. Bigger than sending in emails. And heck, it might actually even be fun!
I get occasional emails on town halls, which I'm happy to pass on so people can share. For example:
Senator Arnie Roblan has an upcoming town halls soon. Its about a 5 hour drive for me, so I won't be going. But if your in his district, please spread the word and encourage others to attend.
Here are the dates/times/places he has scheduled in his email:
