By Matt Manda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a growing chorus for strict gun control following the tragic murders in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, where deranged individuals took the lives of innocent Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Petty isn\u2019t among them, though some might expect him to be. Petty\u2019s 14-year-old daughter Alaina was murdered in the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy. Instead of blaming gun owners that follow the law, he\u2019s inviting them and others with a call-to-action of his own: Go to the range, practice and show your support for the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His efforts are gaining momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#ResponsibleGunOwnersDay<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Petty is also a federally-licensed gun store owner. He\u2019s calling on all law-abiding Americans and gun owners to head to their local practice shooting range on Saturday, June, 11, for a national Responsible Gun Owners Day. NSSF is supporting Petty\u2019s efforts to practice and teach others about responsible gun ownership. He joined Bearing Arms\u2019 Cam Edwards \u2013 who was guest hosting the nationally-syndicated Erick Erickson radio show \u2013 to talk about his efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith anti-gun activists and politicians once again calling for gun control measures that will only punish responsible gun owners for the evil acts of criminals, activists have called for June 11th, 2022, to be a day of marches and protests against our Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms,\u201d Petty told<\/a><\/strong> Edwards. \u201cI say enough! It\u2019s time for responsible gun owners to stand up and take action. So, I am calling all responsible gun owners to a national day at your local gun range on June 11th, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petty added, \u201cBeing a gun owner demands responsibility; becoming and maintaining proficiency with firearms is part of that responsibility. Your neighborhood gun range is the best resource for training and education on firearms proficiency, safety, handling and storage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested gun owners can participate in #ResponsibleGunOwnersDay anywhere in the country at their local, neighborhood shooting range. Find a range near you at NSSF\u2019s website wheretoshoot.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaining Steam<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Petty announced his #ResponsibleGunOwnersDay idea, in partnership with NSSF, over social media and the feedback was immediate and positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a cause worth supporting!\u201d\u00a0tweeted<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Fox News contributor and retired Marine (ret.) Johnny \u201cJoey\u201d Jones. Jones\u00a0visited<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0SHOT Show 2022 and spoke about the importance of firearms and what safe ownership and practice meant to him. \u201cThe face of the Second Amendment is the face of any American,\u201d Jones said at the time. \u201cThis Constitution \u2013 the Bill of Rights that we have \u2013 they\u2019re for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE ALSO: SIG Freedom Days \u2013 Media Day for the Masses!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his social media post announcing #ResponsibleGunOwnersDay, Petty told his followers<\/a><\/strong> it\u2019s easy to find your nearest community practice range to participate. \u201cNeed help finding a range for #ResponsibleGunOwnersDay at the Range? Find it here \u2013> www.WhereToShoot.org<\/a><\/strong> #LetsGoShoot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Amendment-supporting Americans gave Petty some immediate feedback. \u201cI\u2019ll BE OUT THERE SIR!,\u201d said<\/a><\/strong> one woman. \u201c#ResponsibleGunOwnersDay sounds AWESOME \u2013 see you at the range!\u201d another exclaimed<\/a>.<\/strong> Second Amendment advocate and veteran Virginia Kruta added, \u201cThis is a really good idea. #ResponsibleGunOwnersDay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocate Dan Roth expanded the call and invited his followers to join him too. \u201cI\u2019ll be heading to a local range on this day. If you are interested in joining me, let me know and we\u2019ll see what we can do. It could be a great opportunity to learn about safe and responsible gun ownership,\u201d he tweeted<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, June, 11, is coming up fast and all signs show that #RespsonibleGunOwnersDay could be a boon to demonstrate America\u2019s law-abiding gun owners are responsible and looking for more education, training and safety. They\u2019re showing that the answer isn\u2019t more gun control on those who obey the law, but enforcement of the laws to hold criminals responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Landscape<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>More than 40 million Americans purchased a firearm between 2020 and 2022. To date, there have been 34 months of at least 1 million firearms sold<\/a><\/strong> per month and it\u2019s still going. That number includes roughly 14 million new first-time gun owners. The gun-owning community is now the most diverse it\u2019s ever been \u2013 with women and African-American and minority buyers leading the new wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden and some in Congress are clamoring to pass more restrictions on law-abiding Americans looking to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Not all lawmakers agree with the proposed bans. U.S. senators are cautiously working on a legislative proposal<\/strong><\/a> that would be focused on solving problems instead of pushing political agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While gun control groups stage their rallies and garner the attention of major media networks and talking head TV pundits lauding their \u201ccourage,\u201d Petty is urging Americans in communities across the country to head to their local shooting range and demonstrate a different kind of courage \u2013 the courage to lawfully own a firearm, stand up for Constitutional rights and to refuse to be a victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
