Now is the time to actually do something to protect gun ownership and our collecting hobby.

The anti-gun zealots have clearly revealed their end-state agenda, and that is repeal of the Second Amendment and elimination of civilian gun ownership in the USA.

It's now the responsibility of each and every one of us to do something to oppose this tyranny - and to do so because the results are irreversible and, for our liberty, final. I don't think our system would survive the crime, terrorism and abuse of citizens that would follow.

Right now, identify candidates running in the primary that support the right to own firearms to defend yourself without question or wiggle room. Help them unseat the politicians that thing their power is more important than your rights.

Start behaving as a minority that is discriminated against in our society with prejudice. You may think you're invisible, but that creates an opportunity for systematic violation of your right to bear arms. When they can't see you out there, it's much easier for politicians to either do nothing, or outright infringe more gun rights.

Make it clear to the people you know that these very loud but very deluded gun grabbers are wrong, and tell them why. Don't let them get away with assuming they are right just because they are profane and loud.
