The Brits just voted to leave the EU after months of nothing but opposition by every news entity, every government official from both sides of their isle, by the EU and every other socialist in the world. Months of propaganda failed to sway them and they voted to become independent again. And I thought that the one world government bankers had so much power that it would be impossible for the average citizen to change anything? What happened there?
The thing many gun owners are lacking is the belief they can win the war.
I guess you can put me in that category, except that I do not operate on belief. I use logic and evidence, and the historical evidence can be summed up in one question:
When has any major anti-gun law ever been repealed, anywhere?
Sure, we can win a battle now and then, but the war? The historical trend indicates otherwise.
Brexit notwithstanding, the British are an uninspiring example in this matter.
I remember reading about a British king centuries ago, who complained that his subjects preferred to spend their free time on the golf course instead of the archery range. Then, many years later, another British king outlawed the private possession of bows and arrows.
And look at the current British anti-gun laws, which are much worse than in this country, yet have been accepted by the UK public.

P.S. In regard to the Brexit vote, I predict that will prove to be no more than a brief, albeit entertaining anomaly, that will be barely noticed in the historical trend to a world government.
