As you know, recent jury verdicts in New York placed the liability for shootings on some gun
manufacturers because they "defectively marketed" their products. This has got to stop
before paying for firearm liability insurance becomes a luxury that no one can afford.
We lost some seats in the House and the future doesn't look pretty.
The current administration wants to make you do a background check when you give a firearm
to your dad for a present.
To raise awareness, and mainly money, for organizations that will try to stem this tide, I would
like to announce the start of the
"Buck-a-Chuck" game
The rules of Buck-a-Chuck are simple, but you must be an National Rifle Association, Texas
State (or your state) Rifle Association, or GunOwners of America, Neal Knox's Firearms Coalition, etc. member to play and enjoy it to its fullest.
Equipment required:
- TV and/or radio
- Empty coffee can, mayo jar or similar container
- dollar bills or coins
Official Rules
- Join one (or more) of the many pro-gun organizations. There are a lot of opinions on which is more "true to the cause", so pick the one that is right for you. It's a cheap way to have the same clout as our political opponents.
- Watch or listen to at least 2 national news shows (any network news and shows like 20/20, All Things Considered, Meet the Press, etc) per week.
- When you see or hear a sound byte from or interview with my personal hero, Senator Charles "Chuck" Schumer of New York, Sara Brady or other prominent anti-gun celebrity, you have to jump up, throw up your hands, yell "Buck-a-Chuck, Buck-a-Chuck, Whoopee!!!" Do a little dance and put a dollar in the can or jar.
NOTE WITH REGARD TO BARBARA STREISAND and JANE FONDA: You must do the
dance twice and put two dollars in the can if you see or hear one of them on a "news" show.
The fact that ANYONE would care what they think about ANYTHING relative to daily life is
scary enough to make me want to write a check.
NOTE WITH REGARD TO SAFETY: If you are doing something that demands your full
attention, please wait until it's safe to do the dance.
- At the end of the month, take the money in the can or jar and mail it to your selected organization to help them educate the public on Second Amendment Rights and Responsibilities/Gun Safety, etc..
- Sit back and reflect on how you have helped your cause. OPTION: If you wish, you may write or e-mail the person sighted on the news and let them know of your contribution, thanks to them.
Have fun with this. Play it with your friends (it beats Pictionary™). Get your kids to play. If
they're like mine, they can't wait for an excuse to act silly. You are welcome to add your own
variations to the dance, watch more than 2 shows (if you can stand it) or raise or lower the
amount per sighting that goes in the can. The important thing is to send in the money.
If someone questions you on the cause of this behavior, reply that it is no sillier than
statements being made and actions being taken by our opponents that threaten our civil
rights. Believe me, it's a great way to relieve stress after listening to some of those bozos.
