How to Activism 101 - Your experiences and questions
« on: August 25, 2026, 01:10:57 AM »
I'm creating a video series on 2A activism later this year on my decade long journey on fighting for the 2A from learning about the 2A from my friends, to meeting everyone in the 2A community here and nationally, putting together HIFICO, and guiding the next leaders in the fight.

I'd like to know what experiences you have gone through whether it's following my journey, what you did now or in the past, things you learned, and questions you would like answered.

This is a rough outline of things I'll cover:

1.  History and Tradition - my background and American history
2.  Key areas - Legislation, legal action, outreach
3.  Sacrifice
4.  Consistancy and Credibility
5. Coming together/Teamwork
6.  Guide to Activism
7.  What to do
8.  The opposition
9  Knowledge and Wisdom
10.  Educating others and leadership development

As far as consistency and credibility there’s so much I can’t say because people are not ready to hear it, but seeing as how many folks on this page studies the ATF’s moves over the past few decades most of you understand how challenging it is to talk some sense into normies without them shutting down.

It would be great to have a section on shifting the Overton Window in our favor. Our opponents literally have rooms filled with people (and now servers filled with AI bots) spreading propaganda for them. The largest battlefield of WW3 is psychological, and most folks have no idea they are in an active war zone every time they turn on their devices.
Stop blaming lazy people. We didn’t do anything.

I had to google that as I've heard it before but didn't know what it means.  Making things the norm.  That is a good one.  The movement to the "Safety First" era and the catch phrases the gun control groups use and "common sense" things and wanting the stores to have no guns allowed signs.
