I used to believe that reasonable compromise was the solution. Find the middle ground. I have come to understand that compromise is never going to work. "They" do not want compromise, they do not want me or you to have guns. It's not about the children or safety or stopping criminals. They do not understand and therefore fear ALL guns.
I am much more comfortable with "from my cold dead hands" now.
Absolutely, no disagreement in regards to their over arching goal.
I understand the allure of the "from my cold dead hands" statement.
But the path they'll take to accomplishing their goal is to paint you and I as an irrational and unstable paranoid nut who can't be trusted with exercising our right.
Much like an insurgency, the people are the prize. IMO, we have to start being smarter about our own campaign to frame the issue to the public at large. Right now, we are reacting to our opposition...we have to take back the initiative.
I don't mean conceding on any issue, but I do mean we need to control the language and images used to frame this debate to the public at large to the extent that we can (especially hard since the MSM is against us).
I just think we should give them less ammunition to use against us.
