I'm not pissing on that man's beliefs, but talk is cheap, action is what matters and we've seen people go back on their talk with "but I had to follow orders" I don't need lectures, I want to hear him say what is he going to do (and yes, I watched entire vid)
In the ideal situation Blackface needed to be tarred, feathers and dropped at the state line., after which good people of VA elect a new governor. That didn't happen because there are several types of gun owners:
1. Those who have a bucket of tar and frown on showing up at useless rallies.
2. Those who think that more voting will somehow make a difference, unlike in the past.
3. Those who want to take the high road and don't mind getting a dickshot just so they can fight like gentlemen with mental patients.
4. There those who would rat others, the kind who annoy people at the range with questions like "you can't shoulder that arm brace!"
All the decades that gun owners were too complacent and nice to mentally ill, not passing judgement, being nice, accepting, righteous. All those decades need to be paid for to get back on track. No one rally will magically make it right. It would take many rallies, many hardships, many sacrifices for all those decades of "debt" that must be repaid if we were to restore the Constitution as the law of the land, just as it once was.
Do you know why steel is folded to make a sword in the old days? Mostly it's to remove impurities, smith literally beating impurities and homogenizing structure. This is what we need to do, to homogenize 1-3 and beat out 4. No shortcuts, no magic, just hardship and sacrifice ahead.
So was this rally good? It was. Do we need to do more? Yes. Do we need to aspire for more, to be more active, to be able to muster on demand, to get our priorities straight? We also need stop taking dickshots and dish our own. Highroad eventually ends.
One thing that I applaude some French for is for being tenacious motherf***ers who don't keep their yappers shut. There is something to be learnt from that. People who elect a "cock" as their national symbol still have balls even after being decimated and outbred.
