In thinking it over very heavily for the past 24 hours, I have made the decision to reverse my opposition to SB59. I am doing this not because I have changed my beliefs and concerns, but rather I believe that if those here are not going to be convinced to agree with me, I may as well help everyone else get what they want. If it will be widely considered a push for gun rights, and if passed a gun rights victory, I will do what i can now to help. I will also be doing what I can in the mean time and until such time as I'm dead or disabled to make what I'd consider more serious progress, and I of course ask that we all try to stay united in that goal.
I do not now and will not ever believe in heavily democratic decision making, but I also don't believe in ******* contests involving those who agree on the vast majority of issues but can't come to a consensus, or at least a more evenly divided disagreement. Accordingly, I am also asking everyone else who initially agreed with me, to also change their minds.
I will be calling my rep back to inform them of my new found support for SB59, as well as contacting every non OCing gun owner I know to ask them to also contact their reps.
Further, I want it made clear that nothing I have said on this matter should be regarded as related to the CLSD, or my book since my book oddly and irrelevantly keeps getting brought up. I have volunteered for both MOC and CLSD, but I have never publicly represented either in any type of official capacity. My opinions on SB59 are no exception.
I am making this decision based on respect for everyone else here and the good work we've done together in the past, as well as the good work I want us to do together now and into the future. I will be back very soon. I look forward to seeing many of you in weeks to come.
