OTOH, look at what homosexuals achieved in my lifetime by being offensive, which got them noticed.
Does anybody remember groups like "ACT UP!"?
Homosexuals are a tiny minority compared to gun owners. The activists are a minority among them, but overall, I suspect they were more activist in recent decades than hunters were.
Gun owners are a huge minority in this country, 2A activists are a minority of them, but these days the number of people who consider themselves 2A activists is probably at least half the number of people who consider themselves homosexual.
We get ignored and often ridiculed when we act like adults, we get ridiculed when we act like children. The time may come when we have to make it impossible to be ignored, we're used to being ridiculed by our lessors in society. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
