Great article. I only question one aspect of this press... although it is great for us on this side of gun control and keeping our constitutional rights to get and stay informed of who is doing what and where. As well as our side of the story. All of these articles are speaking to the choir so to speak. So I ask... how are these articles and viewpoints being presented to the other side of the argument? As I understand it, we who have signed up and are supporting the second press are the only ones privileged to receive them.

Am I mistaken? Where exactly are these articles of our viewpoints being presented to the other side?

You are correct that The Second Press and what Braden has been doing with the Langley Outdoors is a form preaching to the choir.

Allow me to continue with the religion analogy. Don't churches at least encourage, if not require, their parishioners to go and spread the gospel in order to bring more into the fold? I believe that Braden's intention is to arm (pun intended) us with facts and information so that we can counter the narrative in our conversations. The likelihood of converting a true anti gun zealot is slim to none, but there are still a few reasonable and rational people who can be shown the light. Myself, I was never what you would call anti gun. I did, however, nod approvingly at the idea of "common sense, reasonable limits" and didn't really know

what the 2nd amendment really meant. One day I was listening to a local morning radio show, the host was expressing his view and the 2A and the fact that the Supreme Court had issued rulings (the host was likely referring to MacDonald and Heller) that supported his views. Now, 10 plus years later, I own several guns, believe the ATF and NFA should be abolished, and would take up arms to defend the 2A.

If you or I can get just one person to change their mind, that one person can possibly do the same and so on.

Amazing that Giffords Law Center was involved in this critical venture and, then, swept it under the proverbial rug! And, when I say "amazing", I am not saying "shocking" because they do them and will always be the same internally. Not changing course even though facts are staring them in the ol' eyeballs! Great article! "Hello! JoKe Biden, are you listening?" Yeah, didn't think so.

What a sad reality. It breaks my heart to know how effective this is and it’s being ignored. It’s disgusting what GLC is doing. They demonize gun owners and they ignore what actually works to fuel an agenda.

I agree with you completely sir. I just pray that more than just we get the opportunity to hear Braden and the viewpoints of the 2nd press. There are many out there who only hear 1 side, but would agree with us if they had the opportunity to hear the other side. Those are the ones I endeavor to reach.

Article and information/history very much appreciated, Mario!

Kudos to Giffords for finding and designing a way. Disdain for them for letting it "Fade Away"!

Obviously, it didn't become BEDROCK! If their heart was where their politics are, you could refer to it as Amazing Grace! Why not another city entity pick it up and run with it? Apparently, too many woke, marxist demoncrats in power. They should be held accountable by the state/governor, but we all know that ain't gonna happen! Feds wouldn't intervene either. Anywhere! Only way to startup again would be Conservative/Republixan action.

They have them in california but apparently not in that district. But what about the districts they are in? Curious as to how those other

9 or 10 states are with that format, today!? Thanks for sharing and displaying a workable plan for community interaction and disuasion, lowering the murder rate! Would hope that other cities and communities would do such.
