The Founding Fathers didn't put the 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights so their descendants could comfortably stay home while the NRA runs ads to preserve those Rights.

If that's your idea of how best to preserve them, you don't deserve them.

Huh? I'm not getting whatever it is you're trying to say.

There may come a day, hopefully not, when you and others must personally exercise certain Rights in defense of them. Not stay home and hope some lobbying group runs an ad that said this or that, no matter how provocative or influential the ad might be.

No, someday YOU (and I, and others) might have to suit up and hit the ground exercising certain Rights, be they listed under the 1st Amendment, 2nd, etc. and possibly suffer physical, financial, or other losses in the process, much like Civil Rights leaders and activitsts did in the 1960s or the Founding Fathers did in the 1770-80s.

Yep, that is when our Rights will either be preserved in victory or lost in defeat.
