Please remember that when you testify, you are not only speaking for yourself but also as an ambassador for the right to keep and bear arms. Here are some tips:
- Remember that whether you like it or not, you're an ambassador for the supporters of the 2nd Amendment and self-defense rights supporters sitting behind you and the rest of us. Disparaging remarks might feel good, but they don't help. Do everyone proud!
- Briefly introduce yourself and where you're from.
- Respectfully speak your mind.
- Drive home how the bill personally affects you.
- Use your personal experiences and expertise to advocate from positions of strength.
- Avoid unnecessary redundancy. Make or further a point that has not been stated yet by someone else.
- Be sincere and concise. You will probably have only two minutes to speak.
- Dress and present yourself appropriately.
- Always remain civil.
This is very much like live TV, so dress accordingly, and pay attention to your background if speaking virtually. Committee members may ask questions of you, so be ready to think on your feet.
