The turning away from normal gun culture led by the former leader of normal gun culture, the NRA, began as recently as the 1970s. The 1977 annual convention, which became known as “The Cincinnati Revolution,” elected new leadership that was primarily concerned about Second Amendment rights. For these people and their followers, the ownership of guns became closely identified with their personal identity. In particular, they felt personally threatened and fearful that their guns would be limited or even all of them taken away by an oppressive authority. |

| This pin head is wrong on so many levels it is impossible to respond but: Keep-I own it and you can't have it. Bear-I have it right here on me and its loaded. Right of the people- all citizens. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
