What Are You Going to Do 
About It? 
(From The American Rifleman) 
In a letter inquiring about mem- 
bership in the National Rifle Associa- 
tion, Mr. L. L. Donmeyer, of Turlock, 
California, makes the following com- 
ment: 
“It is distressing to know that we 
have in our midst a few weak-kneed 3 . ‘ 
imitations who are attempting the pas- = “eg e 
sage of laws to prohibit the American f 
from purchasing and possessing fire- Bet er —" ye | houce 
arms. It is pleasing to note, however, : . i é a “SS 
that they are vastly in the minority. If 
these spineless imitation Americans are / 
so deathly afraid of firearms, they have 
our permission to step out of the good 
old U. S. A. any time they feel so in- 
clined.” 
The point in Mr. Donmeyer’s letter 
which warrants your attention is the 
phrase which we have italicized. You 
and I know that the people who are re- 
sponsible for anti-firearms agitation 
and disarmament are in the minority, 
The majority, on the other hand, in 
keeping with the traditions of Ameri- 
can shooting men, have very little to 
say in public and are generally unor- 
ganized, and direct their efforts along 
divergent channels. When the law- 
makers come to examine the facts, they 
find this very noisy and fairly well or- 
ganized minority. Turning to the other neto—hotter sparks for instant
