That's like saying that strategically retreating from a position in order to redirect forces to a more important battle front is the same as surrendering in a war.When you talk of compromising a Constitutional Right, you are ready to give up.
You talk a big talk, but I bet you don't openly violate laws that infringe on the 2nd amendment, do you? If you're ready to actually start resisting the government's infringements on our rights, I'm all ears. But until then, we have to accept the hand we've been dealt, and so far putting on a bunch of bravado about never compromising isn't accomplishing anything for us.
To put it differently, we both agree on the end game, but I just think we have to stop pretending that we can get there in one step, and start strategizing realistically about how we can actually hope to make a step in the right direction, or at least slow down the mad rush in the wrong direction.
