The good news is that not only is support for gun rights high, but court cases and laws have changed substantially in the favor or gun owners over the past 20 years too. We probably have better gun rights now than we have had in many decades, and there does not seem to be a backlash despite the media’s attempts to turn every shooting into an argument for gun control.

I don’t think that the Newtown massacre gave gun opponents the upper hand; in fact, it exposed the logically-inconsistent and emotionally-driven positions taken by anti-gunners. Americans, thankfully, didn’t take the bait, and I believe that we have actually grown stronger as a consequence of what happened that day and afterward.

I agree and it helps that we have more Sheriffs and Police Chiefs coming out and advocating gun ownership by people for their own protection.

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right
to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out
for them in the last two decades...
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
MOLON LAVE! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

TY! This thread just became the link for point #2. Eternal vigilance is fundamental but every now and then a look at the bright side is a good thing IMO. If nothing else it might give some libtards heartburn. :-)
