The below quote, from probably the most courageous and principled defender
of the Second Amendment I've had the privilege of knowing, Mrs. Tanya
Metaksa, former NRA-ILA Director.  This one sums up this issue of political
realities completely, at least for me...

"...[I]f you're a Second Amendment champion, you'd better be ready for the
long haul.  When I look into the Second Amendment's future, I see every one
of you, but let me be perfectly honest. I see your children too, and
grandchildren (yours and mine), and your great grandchildren. Because this
one, this one is the long one. No quick fixes, no cheap way outs, no silver
bullets... just one very, very long haul that will outlast us all..."

That's called truth, which is in stark contrast to the cheap, crybaby, lazy,
empty, and inflammatory rhetoric of Brian Puckett and KABA.

No silver bullets.  No magic pills.  If you aren't willing to do the hard
work of changing political reality (that's by getting off your behind and
doing something other than surfing web sites or making outrageous
statements), if you don't have the personal fortitude to actually DO
something about it politically (instead of bitching and moaning), then at
least stay out of the way of those who are.

PS. Mrs. Metaksa made that statement to the Golden Gate United NRA Members'
Council in San Francisco on April 8, 1999.  The entire speech can be read
