Connecticut –-(Ammoland.com)- I recently spoke with “Ray” a Sportsman who told me he wasn’t voting in the mid-term election on November 4 2014.
When asked why, he replied, “My vote isn’t going to make a difference.”
Sadly Ray’s defeatist attitude is shared by many sportsmen who have endured years of Presidential lies, political abuses from both parties, a wanton lack of respect of our Constitution, and so much more. But sportsmen can make a difference, and it starts at the ballot box on November 4 2014.
Most voters are frustrated with the inability of CT to keep financial pace with the rest of the nation, and we are truly disturbed with the recently passed gun bill which affects ONLY sportsmen!
You as a sportsman not showing up at the polls in 14 days is surrender! What will you tell your children?
Vote!

I echo Idaho’s question. What recently passed law? This is so uninformative it is worse than a White House statement.
It is stunning how many do not vote. Just like the couple million conservatives who withheld their vote for Romney because he is a Mormon. So what did we get? A crypto-Muslum. Boy those conservatives and Republicans who just did not vote sure showed the rest of us! Now, how is that working out? Conservatives and Republicans will indeed eat their own. Get your dumb asses out the and vote, it really matters!
As a former resident of CT, this story is interesting. What “recently passed gun bill which affects ONLY sportsmen?” I am aware of the law that affects all gun owners but what law affects only sportsmen ?
I can understand the general frustration firearms owners have concerning their politicians. But adopting the attitude that there is nothing I do that’ll matter anyway is conceding defeat without even stepping into the ring. Your vote is your right and it should not be wasted. Not voting is the same as voting for “the other side”. Exercise your right to vote. As one state caves in, it is held up as a role model to those in other states wishing to disarm their citizens. It proves it can be done.
You people need to wake up. Voting is fake! Voting is surrendering and proves how brainwashed you are!
you sir are a moron plain and simple.
If you don’t vote then when they do try to take your guns you have nothing to complain about because you did nothing to stop it. Get out there and cast your vote that way you can stand up and say something about the abuse of power.
PLEASE!!!!!
Vote this November. Every hunter and gun enthusiast needs to get out and vote for the Republican party. Obama and his supporters want nothing more than to take away your firearms. Remember that Holder said his biggest regret is that he didn’t do more about gun control. Without the second amendment, the would be no other amendments left in our constitution. Vote out these socialists. The only gun control we should have is whether or not we hit what we’re aiming at.
