I was talking about matters as they are now, with pro-2A folks outnumbered by anti-2A people (and even most gunowners not truly pro-2A), and the media seemingly biased against private ownership of rifles like the AR15.
Actually, Pro 2A people are NOT outnumbered by anti 2A people. Every recent survey says that the vast majority supports the 2A. The media and the politically left don't, but the people do. The media WANTS it to appear that most people don't support it, but every survey runs counter to that. NBC ran a survey two years ago where 82% of respondents said that you should have the right to carry in public. They are running the EXACT same poll right now and the current number is 92% in favor. That's BEYOND a landslide!

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
