This is part of a broader strategy of marginalizing the gun community and turning us into second class citizens. This is an insidious and potentially lethal assault on us and our freedoms, and as a community we should fight back against it to the best of our ability.
The truth is it is the enemy of freedom that is the fringe group; being armed and skilled in the use of arms is as American and as mainstream as celebrating the Fourth of July. But those who control big money, like those who control big media, have a disproportionate amount of power to shape culture and politics, and they are using that power in an attempt to slowly but surely change America into their vision of a socialist utopia.
Our power is in numbers and commitment, and we need to use that power in a big way to defeat this enemy of freedom, or we will lose our freedom.
And it will not be just the right to be armed that we lose; once that's gone the rest will fall too. Groundwork is already being laid for massive assaults on our 1st and 4th Amendment rights, among others.
Our weakness is in lack of organization. Patriot groups like ours should be talking to other groups that fight liberal bigotry to see what we can stand together on. Groups like anti-tax groups, anti-immigration groups, Christian organizations, and so on. Remember the point Benjamin Franklin made with his bundle of sticks.
