People need to NOT be passive about this!
Gungrabbers, having learned that their frontal assaults were initally blunted, have learned to nip at the heels of their adversaries. Instead of total disarmament, they have decided to go about it piecemeal.
Remember when it was the evil "Saturday Night Special", "cheap and easily attainable"? Okay, they got their wish, now criminals use reliable, expensive, high-capacity autoloaders. Some surprise. So now they whine about high-cap magazines and "assault weapons".
What's the lesson to be learned here? Don't take comfort in being grandfathered. I remember almost 30 years ago Ted ( 'let's take the bridge' ) Kennedy's state wanted to license gun owners. The people kicked up a big ruckus. 'That's okay', they said, 'we cross our hearts and hope to die that this list will never be used for gun confiscation'. Gungrabbers got their law. The next year, 'hey let's take away everybody's guns!'. Well the question got asked, 'how will you know who has guns?'. 'Why, we've gots these nice lists'.
When you are grandfathered you'll be part of an even smaller minority and have less say about your destiny.
The best thing everyone can do is stop thinking and acting like they're second class citizens. Call people on it when they make their stupid "guns are evil" diatribes. JOIN THE NRA. SIGN UP OTHERS. Make other gun owners understand what's going on. Enlighten the un-elightened. Dare that person who's afraid of inanimate objects to go shooting. They may stop on the way home from the range at the gun store. Be inclusive, recruit people to join your gun club, encourage the club to sign up the maximum number of members instead of acting like snobs. Be safe and promote safety.
But more than anything else: don't have the bunker attitude. It's your right. You are right, not them.
