I'm cynical -- about appealing to a president who has shown his proclivities for actions that don't match rhetoric and about
"Only Ones" leading this effort and proclaiming "I will not comply."
But what I'm most cynical of is that most gun owners will take a few seconds, literally, to do this and to spread the word to others.
50,000 100,000 electronic "signatures" just ain't that high of a bar to hurdle. If they substantially exceed that goal, it would become "newsworthy," and more and more difficult to ignore as numbers grew.
Conversely, failing to even come close to the goal will signal something else. How credible would that make the "Molon Labe!" commitment seem from people who will spend more time coming up with excuses not to do this than it would take just to do it?
With the minimal "effort" being asked of us here, the goal ought to be reached by the end of the day. By the end of the month, the number ought to be in the millions.
