There was a famous Lutheran pastor, Martin Niemöller, who spoke about a situation that seems similar, at least in my mind, in the years following the Holocaust. I don't mean to make light of his point, but maybe some of you have missed it and might find it interesting. His remarks have been paraphrased countless times since then, and it goes something like this: "First they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was not a communist. Then they came for the socialist and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionists. Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me." With some minor alterations we have: First they came for the giant sellers. With new laws that seemed draconian at the time, they forced Sears and Roebuck stop selling guns in 1968 and I didn't speak out because there were still lots of gun shops. Then they came for the little sellers, the small sellers who couldn’t afford to comply with the all the rules and regulations of state, local and federal governments. I didn't speak out when both Republican and Democrat administrations closed thousands of small shops because the shop I used remained open. Then they used public pressure to force the remaining large public sellers like Walmart to stop selling guns and ammunition because it wasn't politically correct, but I didn't speak out because I didn't shop there. They they forced many of the remaining gun sellers to close with law suits and the high cost of mandatory insurance, but I didn't speak out because my local gun shop was still open. Then they closed guns stores in dozens of states with tyrannical state laws that effectively destroyed their businesses, but I didn't speak out because that only happened in other states. Then they closed down the kitchen table and garage dealers who did transfers because they didn't have a retail location or didn't pay the proper sales taxes, but I didn't speak out because I didn’t do business with them. Then one day I went to the door of my local gun shop and it was closed. It didn't matter if I spoke out, there was no one left to hear me. Just for thoughts.
