Californians basically surrendered their Second Amendment rights without little more than a lawsuit (now denied cert by the SCOTUS). New Yorkers and Massachussetts people welcomed the loss of their rights.
Are there a few who would "stand in the door"? Of course. And after they are dispatched with appropriate ceremony on national TV, with sneering commentary by Peter Jennings, few will decide to follow them.
I know I sound defeatist and pessimistic, but the actual history gives one little real evidence to believe it could happen.
However, my point about them losing was valid. Gore LOST the election in 2000 partly because of his gun-grabbing, and tha same can be said for the elections in '94 and '02. The only elected Leftists even willing to bring upp the issue are both unrepentant marxist liars and perversly safe as a babe in its mother's arms in their districts (Schumer, Feinswine, Kennedy). Though they are shrill and well-publicized, it seems they are not enough.
My rant before was a vent of frustration...I am TIRED of the political "spinning" of these issues. Just declare: Repeal the Second or respect it like all the others. No spin. No qualifiers ("sporting, "hunting", etc.). I guess I'm asking far too much from those whose overall political philosophy was designed by master dissemblers.
