I believe a line is being drawn in the sand...the question is? Will all the law abiding firearm owners put up or shut up. I don’t believe the law breakers care one bit.

I agree. There is a line being drawn and I am sorry to say that when push comes to shove,I believe 90% of gun owners will fold. It seems that we have grown accustomed to barking and fear to bite. Somewhere in the last 30 years,the American citizen(male in particular) have become fearful of our own shadows. But there are a few citizens that still have a backbone, and that would be the brave men and women of our Armed Services.

Will all the law abiding firearm owners put up or shut up.

My guess is that about 90% of them will give up and then shut up. Everybody talks in such hushed tones about the new american Revolution or the next Civil War. Not going to happen. This country will roll over and expire with but a small whimper. We did it to ourselves. The proof is in our society and in Christian eschatology. Think about it. If you're the prince of Darkness and you want your minions to gain control of an entire society and you're willing to wait generations what is the surest path to success? Education of course. You infiltrate all levels of education, public and private, nationwide. Then you gradually substitute your agenda for the traditional values already in place. At some point within, say, 40 or 50 years you look around and realize you're running things. If you're wildly successful, the stuff you demonize has spread like a cancer to the population and that has happened in the cases about gun control. In order to survive, our population will agree to surgical removal of the cancer.
