You seem to fear discussing with gun-banners the possible direct personal consequences of their actions. While you want to bandy constutional type arguments with those that want to ban guns, you apparently are willing to accept their decisions. In California the RKBA is being lost, slowly but surely. You are unwilling to address what will happen, and because you are unwilling to do so, the gun-banners have NO reasion to stop. They know that you will not do anything when you lose your RKBA. I am reminded of a joke. Two old bulls have been put out to pasture on a hill, and the new bull is pawing the ground and snorting in the lower pasture impressing all of the cows that he will be servicing. One of the old bulls starts pawing the ground and snorting too. The other old bull says "Why are you doing that. You know that you are too old." The first old bull responds "At least I can show the new bull that I am not a cow." You are like the second old bull. You are afraid to directly address with the gun-grabbers the anticipated long-term personal consequences of their actions. If you do not address this, they know that there are no consequences to eliminating your RKBA. If you address the issue, you see this used as an additional excuse to eliminate your RKBA. Since your actions will not stop the (apparent) inevitable elimination of your RKBA, you should at least try to show that you are "not a cow", but I believe that you are afraid to. If you wish to work to prevent confiscation, it is your right. If others wish to inform others of the consequences of their actions in implementing confiscation, it is their right.
