Many, many, many years ago I was one of those gun owners who foolishly thought that it was okay to compromise a bit on gun rights. Thankfully a couple of decades ago, I got it through my thick skull that the Left wasn't negotiating in good faith, and that we should never give a f***ing inch on gun rights.

Never surrender an inch on this God-given and Constitutionally-given right. Take every inch you can at every opportunity. Any politician or bureaucrat that doesn't have the same mentality is no ally.
