Make an effort to boycott the products and companies listed here. You can always find another company which makes a similar product, maybe even less expensively. Why feed your enemies and those who threaten the U.S. Constitution? 2. Don't spend your money to buy any magazine listed here. As for the newspapers, share a copy with your friends and co-workers. We do NOT advocate that you take a few extra copies when you get a paper, nor leave the door jammed open by pulling out the remaining papers, nor plug the coin slot with chewing gum, nor vandalize the vending machine. Thiose are criminal acts. If you are a subscribing to any of the newspapers or magazines listed here, stop your subcription now and ask for your money back. Tell them why: because you refuse to patronize businesses which are anti-2nd Amendment. Note that you can always go to the public library and read these magazines and newspapers FOR FREE! This is an important point: you don't have to stop enjoying them - you just need to stop giving them your money ! 3. Any actor, entertainer, TV personality whose name is listed here is anti-2nd Amendment. Do NOT buy any product sponsored by them. Get the name and address of the companies who make such products, and send them a letter telling them that you won't buy their products because Mr/Ms So-And-So appears in their ads. The name and address of the company can be found on the products's box. 4. Every time you see a biased program on TV which uses lies and half-truths to destroy our constitutional rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, write or/and call the TV station. Note the program name, the day and time it was on the air, any obvious lie used by the program and point it out to the TV station. 5. Join the NRA AND local sporting groups who support your rights, not those of the criminals (and that includes most anti-2nd Amendment politicians). The membership fee is a very small price to pay for defending not only your rights, but also the U.S. Constitution. 6. Call or write to your city, county, state or federal representative. You elected them to defend your rights AND the U.S. Constitution, not to destroy them. How and where to find names and phone numbers? Join the local support groups and find out ! See item 5 above (see, we told you!).
