“We fought against Britain in 1776”

And when the National Firearms Act was first proposed in 1934 the civil unrest and protests were so severe Congress dropped it.

As again in 1968, the people rose up so strongly that the proposed gun control act was quietly dropped.

I think we are a long way from a 1776 response based on our response to other federal laws

That's exactly what I've been saying on here for a while. Americans did nothing when clearly unconstitutional firearms laws were written and passed.

These days as long as TV and sports flow from the box, and certain other simple social things are met, we all sit around and complain face to face, or online.

I wonder what it will take to penetrate that apathy and make people say, well, I can skip South Park just for tonight and go to the Second Amendment rally. Where is my holster?
