I mean this in the most
encouraging and positive way possible.
The point here that
@BurtG is making is that, like it or not, this is the system in which we live. Before getting too down in the mouth, remember
that it’s literally one of the best legal systems on earth.
Our legal system and protections make our mother Britain’s seem pale and weak, and compared to China, Russia, or North Korea’s? Ha!
It would be great if everything always worked out in one’s favor, if everyone agreed as to what is just and good. Specifically here, if everyone read the plain text of the second amendment and agreed on its meaning.
But that is a fantasyland.
In the end, in the
real end, one owes you anything.
Not your parents, your siblings, your spouse, or your children. And certainly not the legal system or your government. No one really owes you
anything.
Peeling decorous language aside, all rights in this world are temporary, subject to the whims of one’s leaders (or parents!).
So what to do? ENGAGE. Here, you must engage in the legal “field of battle” to vigorously advocate and defend the rights that you believe you have.
For if you sit back, inactive, complaining, and merely wish for your utopian world, the real world will steamroll you flat. Not engaging, in a legal manner (joining/donating 2nd amendment groups) is like hiding in a foxhole while your brothers rush forward.
For some time, young America tried to engage, legally, with Britain with regards to its objections. Only once all hope was lost and enough people joined forces was the physical battle enjoined.
But do not be fooled by whatever echo-chamber you may have sealed yourself in…we are not even close to a point where our very first forefathers found themselves.
Instead, be useful and engage
legally by joining groups that fight
for you. If you have the time and resources, also engage with giving your time. And if you are fortunate, help by sharing your knowledge with these groups (FPC, GOA, SAF), be it legal, organizational, strategic, or otherwise.
Or lay curled in your metaphorical foxhole, cursing the sun and the moon and the stars as to why you are in this mess, all the while the battle rages in every direction around you.
Again, I mean this in the most
encouraging and positive way possible.
Maybe ya’ll are right, just send $20 a month of the money not stolen via armed robbery by LEO to some organization as that’s the way really make a difference. Speaking truth to change a manipulated mind does seem foolish after all.
