But did I hear you correctly, because I think I heard it again. You are saying that the only way to keep the right to carry is not to carry. Isn't that not being able to?
People who panic will panic over less than a rifle. Nothing is going to happen to them and they might relax the next time. They do not get a safe space if I want to carry a rifle.
I think it does more harm than good to our cause of retaining our 2A rights. We are one Supreme Court justice away from the 2A becoming a collective, military/police only right. Meaning our guns will be largely banned, and confiscated like Australia, UK, etc. We all know public opinion affects these decisions as do the politicians that represent these bliss ninnies that are ignorant about guns, natural human rights and the 2A.
What I am saying is PICK YOUR BATTLES, and be smart about it. A lot of life is perception. So to answer your question, YES, that is what I believe. Talk to me when Hillary packs the court with far left, radical anti 2A Justices. More Ginsbergs, Kagans, and Sotomayors.
