Sigh. I feel, though, that the video will be lost on most people. It struck a nerve with me because I've been talking about the necessity of guns to freedom for a long time. Yet most "sportsman" types, or the "we need serial numbers" will probably watch the video and think "so what?" Like one of the people in the video said, too many people sit by and just say, well, as long as they don't take my hunting shotgun, I don't care.
TrueBit, you are correct about gunowners not supporting each other, in general liberty supporters often have problems supporting each other. A case in point in how the ACLU supports freedom of speech and privacy rights, but turn their backs on gunowners because guns are too "sinister" and the ACLU approaches liberty from a leftist direction.
The sad irony of this video, is that while the NRA uses it to preach to us to remain unified, they long-ago turned their backs on the full-auto community, and today they work at cross purposes with non-NRA affiliated gun rights groups, because after all, full-auto weapons are not socially acceptable enough,and someof those grass roots groups are "too radical" for the mainstream NRA.
When the NRA says to unify, what that really means is "everybody join this organization and send us money".
Call me cynical.
Very true. The second amendment isn't about hunting its about defense. As a law abiding gun owner I support owningand carrying guns for any reason. Its very troubling that the various factions can't unite for the common good. It doesn't matter if you hunt, carry a concealed weapon/open carry or target shoot. They are after us all and the sooner everyone realizes that the better. This already happened in England. The government went after handguns and the rifle and shotgun owners did nothing. Now weapons are all but banned across the board. Wake up!!!, they are after your hunting rifles too!!One of my biggest gripes is the way hunters scoff at self-defensers, concealed carriers scoff at open carriers, and other division among our ranks. Because it shows a profound lack of judgement and an irrational leap of faith. They're okay with anti's attacking the Second Amendment in ways that won't effect them and actually believe that they won't then turn their efforts in ways that will.
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. None of this we already have too many laws. Get rid of them! Murder is illegal. Robbery is illegal. Free men should be free.
