I would pay ten bucks for a VRA.

But you have to understand, I think there are more gun owners than vapers. Also, I don't quite the angle: "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?" IDK.

Also, no not every vaper would join, but some certainly would. Again, I'm not sure what the numbers would do and we'd need a paid person in charge and to get pretty militant.

I have seen ONE other vaper in Douglas, a march to the city square would probably earn me a reprimand at my job, dude. I am supposed to "represent the company at all times in my dealings with the public."

While; it keeps me nice and polite (and returning shopping carts to their rightful places which somehow appears to be negatively impacting my karma in some way, but I am addicted now, I carefully drove AROUND one the other day and like, parked and then PUT it In the corral it was in the middle of the ROAD just hanging out there what is wrong with people?)

But yes, we would need to go to marches, we would need to travel, we would definitely need HATS it's a LOT.I

to get anything done in washington, you need an organization
with paid employees n expensive lobbyists.
then, you need money for bribes [campaign contributions].

how many vapers are there?
the nra has several million members.

The State I live in has likely over 1,000,000 Vapers.

The Problem was Not Numbers.
It was the Lack of Organized Numbers.

not sure what phone calls can do about a corrupt congress ....
The last time Congress was directly involved was in 2009, when they passed the Marlboro Protection, er, tobacco Control Act. vaping wasn't on their radar at that time. In fact, the TCA doesn't mention anything of the sort. But what Congress did is to give the FDA Carte Blanche over "New tobacco Products". They basically delegated/abdicated their responsibility to a bunch of un-elected (and thus hard to hold accountable) bureaucrats.

The NRA does have roughly 5 million members, but there are 80-100 million gun owners in the country.

Assuming there are 8-10 million vapers in the US, if a similar number joined a paid Vaping Rights Association, one might expect it to have 500,000 members. Is that enough to have much clout on Capitol Hill?

“But you have to understand, I think there are more gun owners than vapers.”

‘To own a gun in New Jersey (NJ), you must complete paperwork and submit a background check. If you intend to buy a rifle or a shotgun, the process is similar no matter where you apply. If you intend to purchase and/or carry a handgun, however, you will need some additional paperwork.’

But flavoured vaping (possibly all) is banned??

Being from England those two pieces of information about the same place are ridiculous to me. It is beyond belief

sos to the gun toting folk out there

I think I have to go and get a cup of tea at 03:10 to digest this

well,the liberatarian party would protect both
I agree, but the last presidential election I contacted both front runners and neither had a clue yet what vaping was or what it was facing. I tried to convince both that there was a voter base that cared. Instead the big thing was baking the cake or not. o_O Not until it became mainstream news did I start seeing the party talking about it.

    England has disarmed its citizens
    to control them.

    yeah, it's not allowed to wear the semi-auto rifle at fastfoods like you do in Texas, but I honestly don't think it's the worst decision of the UK govt.

    Also, your guns will not help you much if you will try to go against the govt. Power is on their side anyways. :closedeyes:
