With the success the anti-gunners have been having, the next "assualt weapons ban" will limit gun owners to only having revolver handguns and bolt action or single shot rifles. Now I know many of us here are working hard to prevent that from happening, so those people please "flame off" as this is not directed at you. But for the rest, who do nothing to help keep their guns, or only do the minimum such as only paying yearly dues to one or two national gun rights organizations and maybe sign and mail a few petitions or write a few letters, you are the ones who should not complain when your semiautomatic rifles, shotguns and pistols are banned. And yes you will be left with revolvers, bolt actions and single shots, but in the next "assualt weapons ban" you will lose those. So accept that or get to doing serious work to stop or even reverse this situation.
When guns were invented everything changed. For the first time in the history of the world a frail woman had a chance to sucessfully defend herself and home. My dream is that one of the anti-gun nuts will need a gun for defense and be unable to have one because of their own actions.

I posted a question the other day more to get the answer I'm asking you. Just what do you propose short of arming ourselves and starting a revolution? You do know we will lose don't you? Do you think the polititions will feel sorry after about 500,000 of us get killed fighting and repeal all gun laws? Will getting your head blown off by either a BATF agent of even maybe a UN soldier make you feel better and do you think it will help the cause?
If you think that writing letters, emails, phone calls and belonging to pro gun groups is hopeless then I ask you once again, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
My thread about compromise was not about giving up, it was a round about way of getting this answer, so let's hear it Mr. Fox, when does the fight that you want to lead start?
Politicians are like diapers, every so often you need to change them, for obvious reasons.
So in regards to me and what I do, I do all the things you and I have mentioned plus more. And you can observe part of this "more" I am talking about by me admitting I am now making an effort here to wakeup the vast majority of gun owners who do little or nothing for gun rights. I could post a topic asking what kind of lunch meat is everyone's favorite and get more attention and responses than if I posted about working for gun rights. Check the voting statistics. Only a small percentage of voters vote. So if even HALF of the nations gun owners voted, and voted the right way, we gun owners would own each and every election. But as you know that is not even close to what happens.
Now go ahead (not directed at you 7MM nut) and all you temporary gun owners. Tell me how this belongs over on the guns rights forum. Where it will not get read and therefore not cause you any discomfort.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY RIGHTS - GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY (this includes politicians)
I keep reading you constant ranting that "They are going to take all the guns".
Yet I have to read a post by you that offers one suggestion, proposal or plan of just exactly what you think the rest of us need to do.
I think your just a pot stirrer
The safest place to be in a hurricane is where forecasters say it will be in three days.

Enthusiasim breeds Enthusiasim Personaly I like these posts keeping us alert and hopefully "enthused"over our gun rights and other Constitutional issues.It is WAY more than just Gun rights.However that is the glue that keeps us all here(I hope)It seems when the posts about rights are ignored that there is an uncaring,apathetic attitude out there.Now many of you explained some things when I posted something like this before,I listened. Still we need to keep issues hot,and updated...there are new members coming in/on daily,there is educating to be done right here on GB.I have gotten a bunch since I came......L.H.
What can be imposed and kick the politicians in the rears is this....
If Assault Weapon Ban II is approved and set forth in stone,
We the American People
Of a nation dedicated to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
On this day will take our own action against the United States Government.
We the people ARE the United States and we will no longer support a President whom obliges his political funders first and the American people Second.
We the people, will not support State Governor's whom waste citizens funds on registering firearms while firing Police, Fire Fighters, and cutting school funds to pay for the act.
We the people, will file lawsuits against every political body and Departments of our Government for financial negligence for running this country into debt and demeaning the value of our money.
We the people, will no longer buy food at fast food restaurants, in protest of our factories being sent overseas along with our jobs.
We the people, will burn, wreck, or sell our beloved SUV's and buy Honda's and Toyota's in protest of Detroit failing to provide the American people with a vehicle with adequate fuel mileage.
We the people, will petition our State Governor's to secede from the Union which has accepted illegal aliens, wasted our money, taken our jobs, removed our rights as humans to self defense, purchases goods from China which is supporting their economy and will surpass us as a Superpower.
We the people, will no longer-of our free status, join the U.S. Armed Forces. The President's use of the Armed Forces currently in 140 countries serve's only to support Corporate America, as our jobs at manufacturing products for sale overseas is no longer an acceptable excuse.
We the people, will convert our homes to be Earthships and reduce our consumer purchase of heating oil and electricity by 50%. Hitting Corporate America and stock holders in the pockets, allowing our voices to be heard.
We the people, will no longer tolerate illegal immigrants working in our country. 30 years ago our school children learned valuable lessons and responsibility by working after school. Today the children are corrupted by television and video games and have lost the morals this country once held.
We the people, will no longer purchase music. The musicians in this country have in 30 years gone from being a middle class citizen to a superstar earning more than the President of the United States and living the life of a King or Queen at the expense of a child going hungry to purchase a compact disc.
We the people, being of sound and educated mind will no longer send incompetent Representatives to represent us before our Government if we choose not to secede. It is apparent that an educated man in office can not perform his duties as he loses focus on the people and takes interests in lining his pockets. We will appoint die hard citizens to office, those of whom cherish the values of a free nation and it's future.
We the people, will stear this country clear of consumerism and free our politics and economy of purchasing products made in Asian countries.
We the people will demand the President of the United States disclose his involvement in the Enron scandal and why the Secretary of the Army was a Enron CEO. Failure to do so will result in the American people turning off the power for one week July 4th to the 11th so that we may allow our voices to be heard and reflect on the purpose of our power being produced by corporations and not our Government. We will utilize the time to evaluate the benefits of our Government giving away it's responsibilities to corporations that take the profits to pocket and not modernize our systems for the future of America.
We the people will call to arms if all else fails.
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."
- Jesus Christ in Luke 22:36
I agree with you that the ones that are already doing what they can, keep doing it. The ones that do not, should. As someone else pointed out, there are new people coming here all the time. If we can just educate "them" to the fact that they need to do "(something) to help with the cause" you have done something worthwhile.
Armed rebellion against the government is (for the most part) folly at best. And only an option if all else fails. (which seems to be the case) While gorilla style warfare might last longer than some think. Who are you going to shoot? The Police? The men in the Armed Forces? The National Guard? Your brother, father, best friend? The one you shoot may have been (the one on the inside) who was on our side in this, trying to convince the rest that what they are doing is wrong. If they are at your door, trying to take your guns, or shooting someone for having a firearm, then there would not be any doubt as to who needs to be in the crosshairs. Pitting us against ourselves is what the politicians do.
The people running this country are the ones that need to be replaced (if what they are doing is unconstitutional.) You will not see those people out in the field where you could get a shot at them. They will stay behind closed doors and send others to do their bidding.
They are smart enough to know that if they do not take too big of a bite at one time, most will do nothing about it. They do not want armed conflict any more than we do. They will be happy to keep passing laws until a TOTAL gun ban is in effect. They will collect all the guns brought in by the sheeple. Then, as other countries have done, wait and confiscate the rest as they can. With the patriot act in effect, they will have nothing to stop them.
Back to your original topic, there is one suggestion that I could offer, would not be a cure all but...Think about the last election and how many people did not vote at all. It was pathetic. Among other reasons, they are disgusted with the "lesser of two evils" choices we usually have, so they do not bother to vote. If everyone of us could get 4 (or more) of those people to VOTE for the cause, think of what the outcome of the next election might be. Don't get me wrong, it is not easy, it is TOUGH. I discuss/argue with some of these people regularly. To me it is worth it because I have had (albeit small) a limited amount of success. If we just had someone GOOD to vote for, instead of "the lesser of two evils."
The gene pool needs chlorine.
