Snakebite--you can check my response to the Rosa Parks thread to see that I HAVE given some serious thought to the possibility that violence might someday be unavoidable.
BUT don't forget that there are young people out there like Chink and I who are carrying on the good fight, and don't put too much stock in polls and the like which purport to show that everyone is against you.
Re: your comment about taking gun-grabbers' threats at face value, it's important to think this through. You and I DO NOT take the statements of HCI and their ilk at face value. True, we'd be fools to take such brazen liars at their words, but openly they're very careful to add the disclaimer that they "do not seek the confiscation or banning of all guns or handguns." I read it on an HCI press release this morning.
But much of the public takes both us AND them at face value. That means the average citizen hears this:
HCI: We just want reasonable reforms. We have no wish to ban all guns or confiscate yours. Besides, why do you need one of those nasty "assault rifles?"
US: Because when you come for my guns, you filthy looter, there will be too many of you to get with the revolver and a shotgun won't penetrate your vests!
