Man, you sound so quick to throw in the towel! Why on earth would you post a disheartening title like that at such a critical juncture in this fight? We're only a few months in on a 4-year battle and you're defeated already??
I'm by no means a pollyanna, but I do know the one thing all politicians share in common is that they want to get voted in again during the next election. The anti-gun folks know that an angry, engaged opposition is not good for them at the polls (even if they have MORE constituents, many don't vote). Why do you think they're already scaling back some of the proposed gun control legislation? It's because angry constituents showed up, that's why! And you don't think they're well aware of the press this Lacey Township case got? They're afraid of poking a sleeping tiger. Maybe not Murphy himself, who no doubt (foolishly) thinks he has a shot at higher office, but the careerists like Sweeney may think twice before diving in fully on anti-constitutional laws that could get overturned by a higher court while whipping up the opposition against him. One thing is for sure, if we give up... it will definitely get FAR WORSE!
So, to brass tacks... have you requested this Monday off? Did you arrange a bus ride or carpool yet? Or will you be spending that day drowning yourself in defeatism?
Do yourself a favor, go read some stories and quotes by John Paul Jones or Patrick Henry... good people to study up on when you're thinking about quitting. Find some fortitude! Sheesh. The Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves right about now.
