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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
