If I understand your question correctly, submitting a resolution in a state legislature is not tantamount to firing the first shot. Firing the first shot is tantamount to firing the first shot. If at all possible, they should have to fire the first shot. If I count correctly, over the past 200 years history is about 65/35% in favor of the party or country that didn’t fire the first shot.
There are unfortunately a lot of ways the first domino could fall. I can think of any number of scenarios, from an attempt to shut down a reloader’s cooperative after ammo serialization or busting an unauthorized gun show after a ban on private sales, to an attempt to disarm the Rio Grande Valley in order to keep guns from flowing to the narcotraficantes in Mexico. Never underestimate the Lefts capacity for overbearing stupidity.
The important thing is, we are still several steps away from any tipping point.
In the meantime we should prepare for hard times, study history, economics, game theory and hog butchering. Organize politically and protest peacefully - use the Left’s own non-violent tactics against them. If we are successful, as we were in the last push for illegal alien amnesty we may not reach a tipping point. If we do, we’ll have what we need in place.
Thank You!
