The NRA is not alone in the this struggle; there are several other good organizations out there as well, and I belong to them all. But the NRA is the big gun in this fight, and is getting almost exclusive focus by the dimwits in the media and political arenas. This is good.

But wait... ! This article has the main figure of the NRA saying that is not so. WE THE PEOPLE are making this happen, and that too is a good thing. Actually, it's a GREAT thing, because that's how our Constitutional Republic is supposed to operate.

I see a couple of time-honored principles at work here. First is the 'balance of terror' that the second amendment is supposed to invoke. You don't think Obama and his gang of Marxist mobsters wouldn't just be steamrolling over those who resist already if they didn't have too high a risk of getting bloodied? Second, 'Si vis pacem, para bellum'. I am firmly of the belief that all the kit sold in just the last fews months has been purchased so that it can be handed over on demand. Which actually relates to the first, doesn't it?

I guess that's because ultimately, like it or not, force and the threat of force is what decides these things. Always been that way... always will. Unfortunately.

Whoops, too busy. Missed a spot. I meant to say

all the kit sold in just the last fews months has NOT been purchased so that it can be handed over on demand.

pardon me, but, “making” what ‘happen” pray tell. From what I can tell, DHS has bought up all the ammo to keep it from legitimate consumers, and you are bragging that NRA is flexing its muscle? Who the hell are you kidding? So what, you have a gun but no ammo? Someone needs to shut DHS down somehow, don’t get complacent, we are in a heap of trouble here, we got no ammo and jokers laugh about underground ammo manufacturing, when they should be serious and get going on setting up same. I am a mom with kids and I am waiting for some men with some balls to do something about this situation, not make sick jokes and throw out their chests puffing about shutting down a gun show.
