As I read this thread over the past couple of days...I am simultaneously reminded of the striking and important title of this thread, the content of the influential, heartfelt and well written letter in the OP and the content of the recent OP-ED piece in the Hartford Courant which stands in stark contrast to both.

Thus, I do not read this thread as one calling for insurrection...unless, of course, you perhaps take the editorial board of the Hartford Courant at their word...

The editorial board of the Hartford Courant is calling for registration and prosecution...not of gang bangers or felons...but of otherwise law abiding folks - overwhelmingly good citizens - who became criminals overnight.

The passion illustrated in some posts in this thread strongly suggests just what is at stake...knowing full well that registration leads to confiscation...

We are undeniably in a clash of cultures - we are currently in the protest phase - protests may or may not succeed.

But, if the advocates for the 2A fail - make no mistake - those who advocate for the "fundamental transformation" of our great country...will succeed.

Molon Labe!
