For those who believe it's possible to win this war -- as opposed to prevailing in a skirmish now and then -- I'll repeat the question I posed on the previous page:
When has any major anti-gun law ever been repealed, anywhere?
Define "major". 30 years ago very few states allowed concealed carry, now all of them do, with a few very restrictive (CA, NY, IL) but the vast majority are "shall issue". That required the repeal of anti-concealed carry laws in many states. Very few states allowed open carry, now more and more do all the time. That required repeal of open carry laws. From my viewpoint, those are wins against MAJOR laws. It now appears that we will probably win the federal battle against the tax on suppressors, with no required LEO sign off already approved by the ATF. We are winning MAJOR battles, and I think the general public leans more and more to the 2A side, with the exception of the population centers in CA, NY, IL, and a few others.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
