And my reply was to Jerald. I think YOU misunderstood my question to Jerald. I was NOT asking for the CCCC member's agreement, I was asking Jerald to consider the fact that not all CCCC members may consider the SSSCA a bad thing, because they may not understand the loss of freedoms involved.
Before you call me out in a public forum, I'd appreciate it if you would read and understand my message. I did say: "Before we ask the CCCC to get involved, how about we all discuss this in depth, so as to become familar with the issue? " Keyword being _discuss_.
