Mike - you apparently want to be able to run the RKBA discussions as
you feel best, and to eliminate any other opinions.

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.
