Well the fact that so many of you Sons of Liberty are on the attack because you equate the 2A and gun control as a partisan issue when it is really a civil rights issue. The pols in this country have turned it into one. There are pro-gun Democrats and anti-gun Republicans, some of these pro-gun Democrats are in the Mass General Court (state legislature to you non-Ma**h***s). If you don't believe that, simply look at the GOAL ratings for each office holder or candidate.
The main problem with a lot of the Sons of Liberty out there is that they want you to lock-step on every other issue with them. Conservative Sons of Liberty are a total disaster because they want you to conform to their societal norms just like the liberal Sons of Liberty want me to conform to their societal norms which makes them a total disaster. The difference is merely content, but the agenda is exactly the same where some Son of Liberty is going to tell me what is best for me.
Frankly, this thread will not end well. Many of you have failed to realize that by taking the high road and pushing your own agenda, you are only alienating people who support you on the 2A.
I have reached the point in my own voting, where 2A position is the only position that makes a difference to me. The reason is quite simple, ownership of a firearm is the only guarantee of my own personal liberty and safety and those of my loved ones. I will vote in the Presidential election for the person who is a member of the NRA and only because of that. The Republican candidate is now a Life Member (but he could flip-flop and join the Brady Bunch six months after being elected), if tomorrow the incumbent Democrat raised the ante and became an Endowment Member (not highly likely), he would get my vote, it is as simple as that.
I do not vote issues anymore, I vote what is for me, THE ISSUE. YMMV.
