Leedesert: Let's rephrase that. "Sometimes retreat is ncessary to hold your ground." Ok, you didn't say that, but that's how I see the NRA. I see, not a strategy aimed at winning, accepting the attendent risk of losing, but instead a strategy of losing as slowly as possible. Which guarantees that we WILL lose!
The way I see it, every year we're becoming weaker. It is NOT in our interest to delay a final confrontation, even if the odds are against us, because they're getting worse all the time!
So forget a million man march, let's put five million, TEN MILLION men in Washington, and paralize the whole district for a week. Maybe occupy it permanently, until they start repealing laws.
Stop defending the TENTH amendment in court, and ask, no, DEMAND, that the Supreme court stop dodging this issue, and either uphold the Second amendment or strike it down. And tell them in no uncertain words that if they pick the latter course, we'll cease to accord this country's legal system any legitimacy anymore.
Tell the Republicans that we gave them Congress, and we can, we WILL take it away, if they don't stop gun control in it's tracks. And we don't give a damn whether that means the Democrats take control and pass gun control laws, because, (See below) we don't intend to obey them anyway!
Take a gun to work YEAR. Beg, borrow, or steal the air time for a nationwide broadcast, and tell gun owners that the time for accomidation is past, that there's no room left for compromise. So just start carrying your guns wherever you go, and DARE the governemnt to make something of it!
We've compromised for thirty years, and look where it's got us. Stop compromising, and maybe we'll finish the trip in a hurry. But maybe we'll win! We sure aren't going to win the way we're doing things now!
