You can flame me all you want; I understand that’s what makes internet types feel like they’re doing something, but the simple blunt fact of the matter is this: ordinary people, people who don’t feel one way or the other about guns, but who do feel strongly about the safety of their kids in school, are going to be more and more receptive to the gun control advocates each time this happens, and if those who love guns and the second amendment aren’t out there doing something other than wringing their hands over the latest school massacre, those ordinary people will eventually agree to their proposals. And at this point mere intransigence will simply help the pressure build until the second amendment is simply repealed through a constitutional amendment.
I’m not advocating gun control, I’m simply telling you what’s coming down the pike. The flood is building, and you can either be constructive and try to direct it away from the worst damage, or you can simply stand pat and be washed away.
So, please, if it makes you feel all righteous and activist, flame away at me.
