Losing the War on Guns

The old paradigm is no longer as effective against new tactics. [More]

Squabbling comments confirm the problematic nature of herding cats.

And what's needed crashes right into an immutable reality I've been unsuccessfully trying to overcome or work around, under or through for decades.

Case in point for all WarOnGuns "regulars": What's your score?

A Winston Churchill quote comes to mine. To be truthful, these days his words are never very far from my mind.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Yep, pretty dismal prospects. But buried back in the sticks is a perhaps real, perhaps imaginary factor that will not and can not be measured unless or until the balloon goes up.

That would be the "100 Heads Life Insurance Company."

We don't know if "it", an effective number of capable willing American gun owners that would strike back at the proper time, even exists. If it does, no one knows how many there are or how effective they would be.

There's really only one way to know for certain. And I don't think anybody on either side wants to be in a position to find out.
