Which is why those who feel this way are bound by integrity to join with organizations such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), or Gun Owners of America (GOA), or Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO)...in order of increasing firmness of principle.

Our freedoms dwindle away from the unwillingness of people to oppose it through political means. ("Oh, too messy." "Oh, I don't have the time." "Oh, I have more important things to do.") They substitute violence fantasies for actually doing anything to stop the backslide, and to make progress for freedom. Talk is not only cheap...it is cheapest.
