Not much to be optimistic about.....
for RKBA in Australia.
I fear that despite some encouraging signs in the U.S., longeyes words are well worth heeding:
************************************************************
"Then ask yourself what needs to be done to make sure this is not the last generation that believes in the Second Amendment. Unless there are general and pervasive reforms in what's being taught K through grad school and unless we develop some vocal and persuasive spokespeople in the culture for firearms rights, you are looking at RKBA being submerged in a globalist consumerism that doesn't fear "soft" tyranny but rather embraces it."
************************************************************
The U.S., like Australia, now relies heavily on the urban/suburban majority for setting 'cultural values', which increasingly do not include an appreciation of the role which widespread firearms ownership plays in retaining liberty.
The drive to global consumerism is real, as is the left's domination of education at all levels. Our RKBA is not-so-gradually being 'taught out' of the next generation.
We will have a struggle to reclaim the educational process from the left and promote the Second Amendment as a keystone of the Constitution.
But the alternative may well be following the rest of the world into that leftist consumer paradise where the government will make us 'safe' .
