I wouldn't consider the MANY THOUSANDS of veterans in Calif as part of any "elite class" as you describe. While they served honorably to protect our country, our Constitution, and our way of life, they are a cross section of America and California. Veterans are from all walks of life, all political, social, and economic groups.
It could be a MAJOR accomplishment towards gun rights for all and be used as a stepping stone to further advances.
It's not perfect but it would be a chip in the armor of the California anti's.
We must take a page from the playbook of the leftist extremists......chip away and chip away.....take every little piece towards the goal that you can get while always keeping focused on the big prize.
Imagine if anti-smoking groups had, from the get go, advocated the banning of smoking in private bussiness and entire cities. They would have be drummed out of existence.
Imagine MADD coming out for aDUI for anything that isn't 0.0 from the get go. They'd have had a much tougher row to hoe, yet that is their goal. Instead they started with .10 Now they've effectively gotten it down to .08 thoughout most (if not all) of the country and a .04 for commercial drivers. Yet they are still advocating ever lower thresholds.
Now imagine the first anti-gunners going for the golden monkey from the very start. They'd have likely been run out of town on a rail. And yet, over the years, they have chipped away and chipped away, until we find ourselves where we are. Fighting back and chipping away.
A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step. Each new step will take us closer to our ultimate goal of restoring the Constitution and the 2nd amendment.
