I do have one concern with the wording, something I've said here many times: I will not "lose [my] fundamental rights" until I am dead. True, we can be blocked from exercising them by force, but this is more than a quibble over semantics-- it goes to the nature of rights. We don't have special ones simply because we're Americans -- we just have a special system for recognizing them. Or had, with the buildup of erosions gaining momentum and approaching the point of critical collapse unless we reverse it.

Curious thing about these tax plunder-funded collectives: They never are much interested in two sides, are they?
There's a lot of information here and at the risk of minimizing anything, one point stands out to me, the bit about requiring financial institutions competing for state bond/municipal business to parrot directed anti-gun propaganda to their clients.

Several of you have sent me links to this. I've seen it and hesitated on commenting so far because I've also seen challenges to some of the interpretations of what the Constitution actually says. Without getting into those details, I just don't see this happening for the more basic reason that it would be a tactically very vulnerable position from which to start a civil war, which this would instantly do and which no one can be truly prepared for.
That so many are enamored by it suggests wishful thinking that someone else will take the risks and make the sacrifices to save us. And the use of adverbs like "merely" reflects a belief that the answer is simple.
