If there are such zealots they don't have the political courage. It's not hard to be a zealot on the other side. The media backs them. Hollywood backs them. Academia backs them. It's not socially stigmatizing to be anti-gun. That's just considered to be the default sensible position by all the major institutions.Sorry if I missed something as I read the OP and the last page here…
I’ve long complained where are our zealots in the House and Senate? Where are our “nuts” that after a mass murder event will call for the immediate end to the “gun free” school zone law(s)? Where are our guys/gals that year end and year out call for a ”national conversation” about ending the Hughes Amendment or phasing out the NFA?
Our guys only know compromise. They will brag about their NRA A+ ratings but will seldomly do anything bold. Oh, they’ll fritter around the edges sometimes. They’ll “hold tough” on the democrats’ gun control bills and only give up the minimum…because it could have been much worse.
No more compromise. We must insist a more offensive posture.
Even if such noble zealots exist and had the courage to be vocal, those institutions would just demonize them such that the affect is not much more than preaching to the choir. I think we have to fix that first. I think we have to work to take the anti-gun narrative away from dominance.
