The objective: To enlighten the unenlightened about Freedom, the 2nd amendment, and the ultimate importance of self-preservation, self-defense and safety. That it is the individual responsibility of every citizen to uphold high morals and justice.
The Methods: Protest, open carry events, trying to get onto the news as much as possible, etc.
I disagree because I believe there is no need for a brandname or a movement. Movements can be scientifically taken down within weeks. Using common sense, do you really think the Powers that Be & those controlling the Powers at Be are going to allow the opencarry/2a "movements" to have any substantial impact? They will do everything in their power to stop it.
This is why I steadfastly oppose groups such as the NRA. Many people are proud NRA members, but in a sense they use their own money to pay someone else to fight for their rights, instead of fighting for it themselves like it is their responsibility to do so. It takes away from the individual responsibility of being involved in your own freedom, and the freedom of others. By paying a group such as the NRA, you are abdicating your personal responsibility and "making it someone elses problem" regardless of however big a success the NRA is at doing what it does.
If the CIA has networks all over the world with agents in almost every place in the world, and can track, find, capture anyone in the world within two weeks, imagine what sort of research or capability they have when it comes to political movements and groups.
If the average mainstream person walked by an OpenCarry event and saw people with holstered weapons, they would immediately call the police in terror. Many may ask and become enlightened, but most likely would simply leave the area.
Mainstream society has been brainwashed to fear weapons. We all know this. They have been taught, practically from the cradle on up, that weapons (specifically guns) are bad, and no one but the police or military are capable of possessing and using them in a safe responsible manner. This is of course false. It is hard to cut through the years of mental programming within them, and in a lot of cases, a near impossibility. We must acknowledge that some people can simply not be convinced, and will always oppose us.
Consider this: All it would take is for some guy, either working for "them" or not, to register on this website or others like it, go out and commit some violent act that highly publicized on purpose and then the media can say its all opencarrys fault. It would not matter what you did from then on, because millions of americans watching would have the name "opencarry movement" programmed into their brains as being a bunch of crazy, conspiracy theorizing anti-american nutjobs. Opencarry would most likely spend the next half-decade saying "We do not condone that behaviour, we do not represent that", ultimately defeating the movement almost instantaneously.
It is also a sheer ludicrous to assume the governments progressive attempts to reduce our ability to own weapons is just coincidences over the last 50-60 years. Whether you believe it not is irrelevant, but it is all part of a broad plan to transform your nation into something incredibly different than what it was founded upon.
Although they would like you to believe it, those in power behind those who appear in power are not stupid. They know the ultimate last line of defense we have is our ability to overthrow them physically, and they really do s*** their pants over it.
Now i'm not some crazy guy advocating a civil war, just merely pointing out reality.
My Solution:
Individual activism. Instead of joining a group, movement, just stand up for own rights yourself. Join with your friends or family, but don't call yourself anything. Call yourself simply american. Not with a huge banner, or groupname. Just simply american. They can surely stop a huge group consisting thousands of individuals, but then can't stop thousands of individuals acting by their own will. What I am saying is be your own leader!
Personal thoughts that shouldn't be taken personally: I think All Concealed Weapon Carry & Open carry permit holders are frauds & hear me out on this one and remember i'm on your side. When you agree to any form of licensing or permits, especially from the government, you loose freedoms. This excludes of course people who don't need permits, as their state recognizes the pre-existing freedom. This is because the people who issue you your license to do something (In this case the Gov), also have the power to take it away at any time. So you License/Permit holders walking around thinking "Yeah, Freedom baby" are only deluding yourselves, as that is not a Freedom you are exorcising, it is a privilege. Privileges can be revoked. I advocate open carrying or concealed carrying regardless of what the law says. The 2nd Amendment is your concealed weapon permit as far as i'm concerned.
Most people can remember if they were convicted of a crime. Most people haven't, so theres a pretty good chance you know you don't have a criminal history, so you can pass your own background check. If enough people open/concealed carry countrywide, nothing can stop it from happening and being accepted.
If orange hats were illegal, and 100 million people tomorrow wore orange hats, do you think 100 million people would goto jail? Not a chance.
It is the responsibility of fathers to teach their children about gun-safety as early as possible, to ensure the child (and new generation) grow up comfortable around guns, knowing how to use them, and making sure (through hunting etc) that taking a life is a terrible, yet sometimes ultimately necessary task.
Which brings me to my next question:
How low would things have to go before you physically rebelled against authority? I'm talking about Police Officers, Military Soldiers etc.

:what: Grats! You just read through a massive wall of text.
Your current feelings after reading are most likely :cuss: or :shock:
I'll also leave with a quote I made up myself:
"There's a difference between defending yourself & defending your life."
