Preemptive Brinksmanship-Would You Support a limited AWB if

[Sauer Grapes]

would you be willing to make a bargain with the to secure our legacy as sportsman?

The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with being a sportsman. :banghead:

 

[Inebriated]

Jesus, what in the hell is with all this "Would you settle if..." BS?

I'm going to keep it high road, and just say "NO"

You are also assuming that all of the people coming into America will be liberal, and not have positive associations with guns. Just because they are liberal now doesn't mean they will stay that was over generations.

Please try to imagine Dr. King saying, "Look.... realistically, we're a minority, and not very popular right now. This 'all or nothing' approach just might not work. To secure the rest of our rights, we might need to compromise a few things. Do you think maybe we could just let 'em have the buses and drinking fountains, if in exchange they'd let us vote?"

What is WRONG about compromise is that it gets us nothing we're not already entitled to, at the expense of things we're already entitled to! How about NO! I am a citizen just like they are; I have legally and constitutionally guaranteed civil rights and I am ENTITLED to DEMAND respect of my rights and equal protection under the law WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT! My answer is NO. I will give them nothing, and fight them every inch for anything they think they can take.

Haven't we put up with enough of these 'submission trolls' already? I'd have thought you'd have realized by now that it won't fly.

Another thread about preemptive surrender? Really?

UH... "sportsmen?"

Guess we can see the results of the poll without more piling on.

I'll close and quote Justin:

Can we pretty, pretty please with sugar and strawberries on top stop with all the damnable loser talk around here?

For crying out loud, the forces of anti-gun bigotry haven't even brought a bill to the floor for discussion yet, and some of you are busy rolling over and peeing on yourselves in an act of submission.

Perhaps, instead of wasting all of our time starting threads like this, you could go write/fax/email/show up in person at your elected representatives' offices and voice your disagreement with further laws restricting cosmetically scary guns or useless bans on magazines.

After all, there are plenty of threads here on THR that have given you the ammunition to win any of those debates and make your case clearly and rationally. For crying out loud, just yesterday I reduced one of Dianne Degette's aids to stammering like a brain-damaged idiot with information that is freely available on the web. It's really not that hard.

If you can't at least do that, then the gun culture doesn't need you. Go collect beanie babies or Pokemon instead.
