“Shall not be infringed” is already the Law of the Land.

Why not just do one better and start prosecuting, jailing or, at the LEAST, *firing* those that violate our Rights under Color of Law?

Politics is the art of the possible.

If what you advocate were possible, we would not be where we are.

Perfection is the enemy of incremental improvement.

We are where we are because of decades of obfuscation, denial, institutional take over, and indoctrination in the schools. It cannot all be swept away at once.

In Arizona we have Constitutional carry. It is still not perfect. People with a permit can carry in a bar, weapon concealed. People carrying openly are not allowed to carry in bars. People without permits are not allowed to carry in bars.

We are closer to perfection than most of the country.

We got there through little increments, enacted over time. We tried getting there through court cases, well argued and represented, with superb evidence. No Go. The judges would not permit it. Then we went to the legislature with the incremental route, backed up by our state constitution and the Second Amendment.

We won, but it took time, energy, and money.
