Yeah, right. Collectivist wishful thinking collides with practical politics.

"This Is How the NRA Ends The bigger, richer, meaner gun-control movement has arrived."

But also read "Bloomberg’s Gamble: Risking the Democratic Senate Majority for Gun Control." and this: "Gun issue's impact surprises Democrats."

The NRA was tossed out of the equation entirely in the eleventh hour even after being conned into supporting every concession under the sun. And now the "leadership" is reduced to begging people to support MADIGAN!

Rather than "stand and fight" here in Illinois, all the "leading" gun rights groups are in full concession and begging mode. Pathetic.

Why do collectivist a think they are whipping NRA ass as a paper tiger? Because here in Illinois THEY ARE! And to make it worse, the NRA isnt even standing much less fighting. Well, at least not the anti rights zealots anyway. They are fully engaged in hammering anyone daring to actually stand on principal refusing to bow to the Chicago machine. The groups hush dissent, threaten bans for speaking up with straight truth and, well, they will forever have to live with the DAMAGE their antics are doing. They will find themselves claiming to oppose the very legislation affects they now support. Sad it is to witness such selling out happening. These groups are doing more damage to the Second Amendment Movement than any gun control group ever could. This because they absolutely REFUSE to stand up for the very right they claim to organize in defense if.

Serious rot exists here in Illinois and every gun owner, every patriot across this country, ought to take notice of it.

Particularly egregious was the Memorial Day post by the ISRA. Reading it and comparing the actions is one of the largest disparities I've ever seen outside an Obama speech. The FIX is in in Illinois- and every Citizen in this country is going to be negatively affected by it. The very best litigation ammo that existed was squandered and the NRA lead the way to that happening. Truth hurts. They said hush - don't talk about "the bill". They said be patient. Don't talk about individual legislators positions out in the open. Shhhhh. Be patient. Uh huh. Look what THAT. got us - HOSED. They argued AGAINST simple and straightforward recognition of the Second Amendment and have arranged the KEEPING if statutes that were adjudicated as unconstitutional.

I am sorry! ... but Dianne (Feindswine), Barbara (Boxers) & Nancy (Pelosi) just don't do it for me anymore!"

Pass it on!

Thanks to our President NRA membership has spiked, gun and ammunition sales have skyrocketed, and the numbers of 1st-time purchasers of firearms likewise. significantly, (at least to me), is the increasing percentage of these new purchasers being female !

FWIW, I've long held the "key" to thwarting any gun control scheme is attracting females to the shooting sports. Women - by their nature/nurture- are "preservers" . I suspect (but don't know) many of the new buyers view possession of a firearm as an "equalizer' (ala Sam Colt's alleged dictum) only to become lured by other aspects of the shooting sports.

IAC, the real world data shows per/capita firearms ownership soaring, NICS the same, every manufacture backordered, and ammunition manufacturers unable to meet demands. IOW "reality" doesn't jive with the allegations of the cited article ! >Jeff; May 28, 2013 at 7:25 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
