The only thing they lack is political clout.Gun Owners of America is another good group. They frequently beat the NRA to the punch on legislative alerts, sometimes by several days. They also have good articles on their site. Best of all is that they are a "no compromise" gun lobby.
One, we are not fighting a revolution so your rhetoric has no bearing on this discussion. Two, you are wrong, it was because the Founders had the political clout to even form the Continental Congress and subsequent Declaration of Independence and get the people to fight is why we have our own nation.It wasn't "political clout" which freed the nation from the clutches of George III.
OK whatever mr hero of the next revolution.The ONE thing you're correct on is we are not (yet) fighting a revolution. After a few more decades of political posturing, THEN you'll have no other choice.
Since it'll take firepower to undo what you and generations of your kind have done, this subject has PLENTY bearing on this discussion.
Two, I am right. Even then, there were plenty of your kind around. Too afraid to stand up against the king of England, rather be subjects to the Crown.
Most historians have pegged the % of the population of that day who actually fought in the revolution well under 10%. Today is no different.
Go read history, it's about to slap you in the face.
Hey Mark did you ever wonder why we hadn't had a major gun control since 1994 and from most accounts legislation has been moving our way on both the Federal and local level since then. Hardly the definition of insanity, however denial of reality often is.Not if, but when the 3rd American revolution occurs, which side will you be on, if any? Yea, go ahead and keep "fighting" in the political halls, see what it gets you.
Albert Einstein, a man smarter than either of us, said the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
Do you really thing some "magic event" is going to take place in some town hall meeting and all the Obamatrons of the world are suddenly going to see the light?
LOL, keep dreaming.
My friend those restriction have been in place a generation or more, it will take the same amount of time to remove them. We are behind but we aren't losing.Well, let's see..........hmmmmmmmmm.
You cannot even buy any type of weapon or ammunition without all sorts of restrictions/prohibitions.
They can run extensive background checks, take your fingerprints, you name it.
With the exception of Vermont and a handful of other states, you need their permission to conceal a weapon. There are even some states where openly bearing arms is outright illegal. Even having a weapon in your home is in violation of state "law." What other "laws" can they possibly pass that they haven't already? Oh yea, we're "winning."
Yep, the ONLY thing left is to ban 'em and send out the troops to pick them up.
Broadcast media is already censored, statist propaganda. The "war" between "liberal" and "conservative" (statist) media is hilarious, or would be if people didn't take it seriously.shad0wfax wrote:Not for long. You heard of the "fairness doctrine"?

It's hard to take you seriously with all your "2nd American Revolution" rhetoric. Whatever event you consider to have been our "2nd Revolution", it wasn't.Not if, but when the 3rd American revolution occurs, which side will you be on, if any? Yea, go ahead and keep "fighting" in the political halls, see what it gets you.

I'm assuming this was directed at me. Thanks for the reading material. I am always willing to be educated.There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Comparing longwatch to a tory loyalist of the 1770s is uncalled for.
I agree with you about the NRA's unworthiness, I applaud you for standing up for your rights in LA, and I admire your zeal. But this personal attack is over the top.
And so is your rhetoric. You yourself fought back using the legal system, and you won. That's the kind of stuff that longwatch and "generations of his kind" are doing all around the country. They don't talk about using "firepower" to fix things, and neither did you when push came to shove. That sort of thing isn't constructive.
Nice "weasel words". :lol: I could just as easily argue, "'most' historians do not consider the War between the States to be the 2nd American revolution".Sorry you're so misinformed. Most historians consider the War between the States as the 2nd American revolution. The next one will be the 3rd.
