Why do people equate being thoughtful with giving up?

Or we study and pursue strategies better calculated to preserve and expand our rights. We pay attention and think. We consider how our actions are perceived by others. We look for and make use of openings.
We have made progress in some States and in some courts by picking our battles.

Open carry is the current obvious one, but I am not talking about that. OC wasn't on the antis' radar until very recently. The demonization of the law abiding gun owner has been going all out for awhile now. Michael Bane talks about this issue on his podcast; take a look (should be in the high 200's for the episode numbers, maybe 275-325).
