[[I think we are just not mad enough yet. Sooner or later if we really believe what we all say here we are going to have to put our money where are mouths are.]]
The problem though is to get that 10 million to decide they are willing to face death in order to protect their second amendment rights- that is a VERY tall order as most peopel don’t even want to risk goign to prison let alone dyin for the cause- IF however, enough peopel were organized I think you would see the movement rapidly grow- but it woudl have to start as a big enough organization of peopel dedicated to the cause to the point of dying, in order to motivate msot peopel to enoguh to where they say “Hey- this thing actually might have a chance-”
But, if all it is is a bunch of loosely organized groups with no real leadership or dedication- the peopel will mostl ikely justy passively hand over their guns when ordered to do so just like has been happenign in NY and elsewhere- People have had their guns confiscated in a lot of cities for a VERY long time now, and noone stood up for their rights then- Not sure peopel today will do so either- There are entire cities or districts where it’s illegal to own guns- and the peopel just passively gave up their rights and the NRA did squat to protect hte people’s rights in those areas- and infact ompromised the people’s rights away by ceeding to the left at every turn- Even our NRA is afraid to take the necessary stand to send a loud and clear message that we the peopel WILL organize and WILL not allow the gubmint to violate our constitutional rights-
If that massive organization, them ost ‘pro gun’ group around, can’t motivate their several million members, then it’s very doubtful a startup organization will be succesful especially where they will have had no history of action agaisnt the gubmint- The masses will be too leerey that they will be left i nthe lurch once they step over the lien and commit themsleves to soemthign along hte liens of civil disobedience
