Talking the talk

[davevabch]

I hear a lot of talk about our second amendment rights. Unfortunately, so many just want to talk. When it comes time to actually take a stand they choose to just simply "Stand down". When you live in a society of being "politically correct" you will lose. Many, just will not fight. I see this happening more each day. Hypocrisy and cowardice seem to be the greater force. We will lose our rights and our guns. It happened in Great Britain and it will happen here in America. Talk the talk, or walk the walk, the choice is yours.

We are a society of law... for good or bad.

Many months ago, Ohio legislators passed a bill that restricted unions to the point that they were no longer a part of the business environment. Affected people, in outrage, gathered in force and petitioned this action go to the voters in the state. The legislation was soundly defeated by popular vote. You would think this would be the nail in this coffin.

Just in the last week, a bill was introduced to re-instate much of the same anti-union verbiage the voters rejected so soundly just months before. An obvious agenda. It doesn't matter which side of the labor lines you stand, it does matter that the populace spoke and lawmakers see fit to not listen.

The same is true for 2A and any form of gun legislation. If traction can be gained in opposition to this right, some flippin lawmakers will continue to chip away until our resolve to keep our rights wane.

I will continue to support the NRA and its lobbying power. This still seems to me to be the best defense against any anti-gunner. My voice may bring a couple or a few people into the ranks of positive gun culture, but in the big picture we need the big NRA voice more than ever.

So true and I am also an NRA member.

Well put. I can think of several issues in our own state that voters voted down or voted approval for in elections that the politician keeping trying to shove down our throats anyway by an amendment to a bill or a ruling by the Attorney Generals' Office.

The county just passed a 1% sales tax increase, making it 8%. Part of the money is supposed to be used for adding bicycle paths along busy suburban roads that no one in their right mind rides a bike on. So the estimated 3% of voters who supposedly ride bikes will be joyfully awaiting the construction to begin. I'd lay odds they're going to be wafting for a long time. The additional revenue will be put in the general fund and spent else where.

When it comes to Gun Control the NRA is still our best bet on a national level to keep things in hand. The Supreme Court decisions reaffirming 2nd Amendment rights in Chicago and Washing D.C. were argued by NRA Lawyers. The same thing happened in New Orleans, after Katrina when during the disaster politicians directed the confiscation of firearms from law abiding citizens. The politicians lost the last effort to reinstate the AWB of 1994 only because they knew that the elections of 2014 were coming. But we are not out of the woods yet, through the use of under the table deals or other Red Flag distractions they will still be at it.

There can be no compromises that will satisfy the gun grabbers. I go along with the NRA which supports meaningful efforts to address the problems of violent crime and mass violence in America, through swift and certain prosecution of violent criminals; securing our schools; and fixing our broken mental health system.
