He writes an article in the July, 2014 American Rifleman magazine about political activism. He should be heeded, because the NRA knows how to be politically involved and how to make a difference.
Cox urges us to get involved, and that is how we make a difference. Cox notes that each citizen owes a debt to the polity. Each citizen must walk the streets, get informed, and then know which candidate supports our rights and which is a gun-banner. Talking to the media, giving money, voting, running for office, campaigning, doing phone banks, attending party functions, talking to family and neighbors and writing emails to state and federal politicians are all ways to be politically active and they work.
I would like to step this up a notch. I envision an American conservative political party that can replace or take over the Republican Party like Reagan did. If these conservatives were individuators, then they would realize and accept that they have to run the country directly or almost directly for constitutional republicanism to function. They would lead, not accept Rino garbage from the mouths of career Washington politicians. These intellectual voters will be the supercitizens of the future.
They will be part Tea Party, part NRA and part libertarian. They will be local anarchists and international interventionists to protect anarchists around the globe.
Once the average citizen learns to take over, obey no authority figure unless they choose to and it is the legal and sensible thing to do, to think, to understand and to participate fully and constantly in the political process, then Cox's NRA plan for political activism can morph into a gentle, conservative mass movement.
