I do not HAVE to do anything, I shoot and used to teach a concealed carry permit class, completely free of any NRA propaganda or pamphlets. I educate and go shooting with many first timers and allow them to judge for themselves without either sides mis info and dis info.
I actually hunt and shoot with many of these people you call right wing.. the so called red necks around here that have voted D since FDR brought in the TVA, the vehemently class conscious anti corporate, anti big business people, the rural poor that actually need the venison and feral hogs they shoot to live. The guys whose brothers didn't come back from the war.. whether Vietnam or Iraq and Afghanistan. We talk alot actually, we discuss local and state politics. We discuss the difference in Southern and Northern Democrats. AND we talk about the NRA.. yup, I am constantly pointing out that todays NRA is not the same organization that their fathers and grandfathers signed them up for, i talk about the money the NRa funnels in to help pols like Scott Desjarlais, and Marsha Blackburn, how they have gone outside the original ideas of 2A protection and now are shills for the Manufacturers and corporations.
So I don't fight RW gun culture, because for me its a chimera, I do fight ignorance, I do educate and try to convince and persuade..
