Kory Teneycke was the individual from the Conservative Party who requested that Responsible Firearms Owners of British Columbia pull their pro gun owner ads during the last election. That shows where his support for gun owners lies. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:27:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Bruce Mills Subject: Re: A New Face on gov't?

I was thinking about something like this earlier this evening - we should be asking people questions like "Don't you care about your rights?" and "Don't you care about freedom?" - stuff like that. The operative word in questions like this is "care" - I'm sure that most people *do* care, they just don't have all the information at hand, and just don't know what to do about it. They just need to be shown what to do.
