quot;. I love the way you verbally "hold them by their
nose while you kick their ass". However, that said, I also think when
addressing the "choir", some check on passion in the direction of
presenting the "all the facts" might be the "order of the day". While
"tearing down" is sometimes necessary in order to "build-up", care must be
used when instructing on "enemy recognition".
A fair reading of this latest epistle of yours has the NRA as the "enemy".
IMMHO, Dave, they are not. If enough of NRA members that truly respect
you take you at your word, serious damage will be done to the NRA and also
to our "right to keep and bear arms". If that happens, the opportunity to
re-take our "rights" on the three fronts of the Legislative; the Judiciary
and the Public Opinion will be lost leaving only one "Civil War" as the
only available option. I don't think I need to remind you, my friend, that
the last "Civil War", killed more Americans that all the conflicts we were
involved in - combined.
Remember, Dave, when it comes to "2nd Amendment rights", we will, in fact,
"all hang separately, if we can't hang together".

h a law could be and should be the cause of "Civil
Disobedience". Go ahead, Dave, "Dump the tea in the harbor". But be
prepared, as the "Sons of Liberty" were, to "pay the piper".
Remember, however, Dave, based on the Constitution and Jurisprudence
starting even before Marbury v. Madison, that only what the Supremes deem
as unconstitutional is unconstitutional. Remember, also, that the Supremes
believe that privacy (arguably a civil right) trumps "Life" which is a
"Natural Right", at least according to the "Declaration of Independence".
I would not be surprised that the Supremes might find that the State
(especially Style-conscious California) would have a "state compelling
interest" in banning "ugly firearms". After all, they clash with so much
of the really hip beachwear don't they?
While I really feel sorry for you guys in the "Republic (Peoples?) of
California", I note that in the 2000 Election cycle "the People" (sheeple)
of California decided (overwhelmingly) instead for throwing "the
Oppressors" out - they would make rather us all suffer their same fate.
Hardly encouraging when you are planning a political turn-around, much
less a successful rebellion, IMMHO.
Dave, while I am "four square" by your side in the idea that some
"politicians" (oppressors) probably should be tried (due process by all
means) and then executed, I am merely trying to raise the fact that
"circular firing squad formations" may be hazardous to your health.
Please stay the course, my friend. I will continue to read with much
pleasure (and usually much amusement) your excellent verbal rockets.

lifier- I hope you agree with me that their
jury of peers should be fully informed triers of law as well as fact?
Just my, obviously poor, attempt a satire. "Circular Firing Squads!" Get
the picture? Everyone gets in a circle and shoots at the bad guys in the
middle, but instead, causes many "friendly fire casualties". I was
alluding to how we can easily destroy our friends by such tactics.
Actually, Dave, equating the NRA to HCI is such a tactic, IMMHO.
I, too, agree in "jury nullification" of bad laws, Dave, as did our
founders.
>That's it for me on this. "Uncle!"
Shame, Dave, just when I saw the "light at the end of the tunnel".

Hi, Jonathan,
It takes a "big man" to see and then admit to his mistakes. Now, if I only
can get some of my other friends to see the light.
Thanks,
Neal
