Et tu Dan, Et tu?
When does it stop? the "tuck tail and run", "live to fight another day", "keep your head down and dont draw attention" mentality? so you are saying that although we lose rights and ground each day in the battle on gun control, we shouldnt draw attention to this matter? just be nice, polite and try and reason with the unreasonable? Wake up and smell the facts.. YOU WILL NOT CONVINCE AN ANTI GUN PERSON THAT YOU ARE RIGHT, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER. So as long as they will use illegal arrests, and unlawful detentions, PRO GUNNERS WILL LOSE!..
For gods sakes people, this is starting to sound like all those morons after 9/11 saying, wait, we cant just carpet bomb Afghanistan, there are innocent people there.. well news flash, how in the hell did you ever think we could win a war against a people, who that when a building blows up 6 blocks away they dont even stop school, when we cant even keep a damn country running with the loss of 2 buildings? If the other side doesnt have to play by rules, and we do, guess what.. WE LOST! same goes for the gun rights.. as long as we have to play by some sort of gentlemanly conduct and not "stir the pot" we are screwed, this isnt an opinion this is a FACT. America wasnt founded on a bunch of blowhards begging for table scraps of rights, it was founded by men who FOUGHT and DIED and DEMANDED their rights.
We are Americans, so please tell me why in the hell i or any of us should sit at the table of retards called "anti-gunners" and beg for a damn right that was born unto me? Anti gunners should be the ones sitting down and shutting the hell up, they dont have Guns!!
No offense to any one person, but when all the rights that our ancestors fought and died for are gone, because we chose to "not stir the pot", which of you will be able to stand with your head high at their graves and say... "oh BTW those rights you died for.. i let them go, so you died for nothing." So many here call themselves patriots, and fly the flag on high, and then cowardly say.. "wait, dont make any waves, or the kings will not give us our bread" ... There was a time when being an American meant you WERE the KING... now we have just whittled away into being a group of blowhard kissass serfs, waiting for the next scrap from the table of the Washington Dictators. Everyone too worried about losing their precious Mortgage and their mini-van to do a damn thing as the country that was the United States of America, becomes the Dictatorship of Anti-Americanism.
Each day you trudge off to work in hopes of keeping the right to serve others and make others rich, the fact is you dont hear the Criminals saying take those guns from the law abiding folks! Its the big Industries and Corporate american who are screwing the little guy everyday, there is a reason, because they know that sooner or later someones going to wise the **** up and realize how bad they are getting screwed, and when they do, well they sure as hell better be disarmed.
THERE IS NO REASON FOR GUN CONTROL IF NOBODYS ****ING WITH ANYONE ELSE. So the people wanting Gun Control plan to **** someone over and dont want shot.
Does anyone even know what CIFTA E-63 is? or that it exists and could soon become law?

so keep on keeping your head down and not stirring the pot... when the pot boils over.. spare the rest of us the bitching and whining about how someone took your gun away.
LongRange,
Do you realize that your diatribes on gun rights don't make any sense?
Rest assured that gun owners are probably the only ones that can screw up enough to lose our rights. Public opinion matters greatly. At this time in history, public opinion is on our side. Scare the sheeple and it won't be. Remember, it took the Supreme Court 80 years to revisit the gun issue. If the justices (that are appointed by politicians, that are elected by the people) interprets the Constitution in an unfavorable way, you will be living with what you and all of us on this board believe to be unconstitutional laws for a very long time (likely your lifetime). Further, you won't do anything about it except lay there and take it.
By the way, what did you do today to support the cause of gun ownership? I assisted with the organizing of the state shooting associations to hire an attorney to write an amicus curiae brief in support of the NRA's writ to the Supreme Court to overturn the case that held that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to the states. Are you even a member of your state association? Do you want to make a donation to help pay the legal bills? Do you consider this work to be "tucking tail and running"?
Learn how to fight effectively. MEM's antics are not the way.
