How can you compare changing the mindset of politicians to repairing an automobile?
Nobody wanted unleaded fuel in the 1970's and drivers refused to buy it until that's all there was to buy. How could this have been reversed?
The oceans and tributaries were once exempt from licensing when harvesting fish but that has changed. How would you have reversed this?
This topic is no different but its a sore subject because the focus is firearms. Many politicians that are loud second amendment advocates are back peddling now and what is going to change this?
This has been coming for decades and unless millions of firearm owners take to the streets with guns in hand, nobody will listen.
Its an endless tide that can't be stopped because the government only understands one thing and there aren't enough Americans in this country willing to lay down their life for what they believe in.
They have their comfortable life and don't give a hoot over their land becoming a police state.
Governments are getting filthy rich from DUI's and people want marijuana legalized. Local law enforcement agencies are grinning from ear to ear at the thought of all those $10,000 DUI's. How do you change all this? Our laws being used against us?
Did you ever hear of closing the barn after the horse is ling gone?
Flash, I understand your frustration. Our problem is with immigration (I hope it's your problem also). There are some who enjoy the hobby but are also tickled pink that we have this massive third world immigration into America. For a few, America isn't an independent country, it is just a hub to be used for some higher perceived interest. Throwing up your hands and playing it safe is exactly what the America haters would like for us to do. What they fear, desperately fear, is the country pulling together into a
national alliance. To do that, we need to come to agreement with what the problems are. Then we can all demand that one or two problems and only those two problems be dealt with.
The problems are endless Middle East wars and our wreck less Legal/Illegal immigration system. If we can only forget about our small differences, like abortion, taxes, regulation, etc and reclaim our ground on keeping America only fighting when it's
national interests are affected, and limiting and even reversing legal and illegal immigration, then I believe we will prevail, and that means ultimately rolling back every gun control law if we desire. We first need to focus primarily on those two issues above in a pincer like strategy, the wars and immigration. If we do that, no special interest lobby will touch us. We will form a massive voting block that will sweep from the streets anyone we don't like the looks of.
