A man defending his family with a legal revolver does alot more for the cause than someone winning a supreme court case about his sawed off shotgun
Wowsa. I'm glad you typed that, so I can illustrate how that is the most errant, 180 degree, flat out incorrect statement ever written, IMO. Sorry, but it is. There is nothing on earth that even comes within a universe of importance to the RKBA as winning ONE big, important RKBA case in the SCOTUS. Everything else is temporary/fleeting, and makes us have to fight, fight, fight the losing battle another day, and another and another. If the SCOTUS, in one or more court cases, announces a specific, individual, fundamental, strict-scrutiny-protected, 14th-amendment-incorporated RKBA, then the game is pretty well OVER. Hundreds if not thousands of illegal laws in the 50 states will immediately fall, and we can then defend that protection from here out. One case is better than 100 years of constant lobbying/proselytizing/you name it. Now, having said that, the problem is that the SCOTUS, contrary to their oath of office and life appointment which in theory insulates them from political pressures, have proven that they in fact ARE a political body, swayed by the political winds (see Griswold, Roe, etc) of the day, and therefore, all the public/rhetorical battles are important so that the SCOTUS members themselves will see the prevailing political winds in our favor and therefore actually vote to uphold the constitution, rather than brush it aside by giving some "rational basis" lip service or something like that which ignores the fundamental nature of the RKBA. The ONLY thing that matters ultimately is the views of the SCOTUS members and thier law clerks, which are unfortunately skewed improperly by the political climate. That's why I agree with attacking the RKBA issues in the courts primarily, which is why supporting the Second Amendment Foundation is so important, but in the meantime, the political battles via lobbying and public discourse are important too, as is the kind of community involvement that the NRA does, such as Eddie Eagle, police shoots, whathaveyou. You hit the nail squarely on the other side - the pointed end.
