Why in the world would we want to relax for any point of time? This is hot right now. Treat this as a wasp nest don't keep poking at every so often get a can of raid and get rid of them if you are unable to teach them new tricks. Remember it is very hard to teach a old dog new tricks. But it is possible with the right strategy and persistence.
NEVER LETTING UP.
I am by no means saying give up on it, or side-line it. Im saying save our efforts,and focus them, in a more determined manner, on folks who are openly, and bluntly willing to act on our behalf. Or, failing that, find someone who is, and then elect them into office.
My issue with a lot of the "take it easy,give em another shot" bit being proposed here,is simply this:
This time around we were stuck hitching our hopes to people who we seem to have to beg and /or convince of our cause, who were already in power. The effort was made with what we had to work with. Got it, understood.
What Im proposing is let's begin working towards finding
potential Senators and or Reps-
not yet in office,but to be put forward and voted for-who we will know, and
they will know, going in, that this is what we want/demand. Folks who
are already in favor of it, support it, want it, and will fight tooth and nail for it from the word
GO! .
Not guys who "might" support it, if we beg and grovel and stoke their ego enough.
Not guys who will smile, wink at us, blow smoke up our ass until stabbing us in the back at the last minute.
Not guys who will claim-sort of-to be in favor`-then sit on the sidelines probing themselves with their thumbs, while folks they out-number re-word their bill into the opposite of what it should be.
And certainly NOT folks who instead of deliberately,bluntly proposing a bill that outright declares itself as OPEN Carry,instead try to be crafty and clever,or give themselves items they can sacrifice in order to get some other half-assed items in.
