Nope. Neither has the entire Republican Party.

So the Republican control of Congress hasn't stemmed the tide of gun control, eh?
How did your attempts to obtain that 'Federal Arsenal License' fare?
Were you able to prove to Federal authorities (read, the BATF) that the 'more than ten weapons' or the 'more than 1,000 rounds of centerfire ammunition' were all safely stored and properly guarded, as they required?
Well, did you pass their inspections?
[b]Oh, that's right, Brady II and those particular regulations that were proposed shortly after the passage of Brady I and the AWB were never even considered by the Republican leadership in Congress![/b]
It must have slipped your mind that you didn't have to obtain this 'arsenal' license due to those 'failed' Republicans, eh?
[:D]
Well, it has never slipped my mind, I can assure you!
And the Republican House actually passed a repeal of the AWB...right before Oklahoma City!
So, I suppose they were just little sissycats that they didn't continue with their plans, right?
I guess we thought it WAS OUR party. Now we find out differently.

So something goes wrong and the first thing you want to do is to leave the party?
You've already admitted that it would take at least 10 years or so to produce ONE Congresscritter!
If all pro-RKBA folks left the Republican Party, can you imagine what would happen in those 10 years?
There would be NO RKBA left to defend!
Like maybe working my damn ass off and paying taxes up the ass??!

Shiite, Son, even Barbra Streisand does [u]that[/u]!
Big Effing Deal! You'll get no Brownie Points for simply obeying the law!
But do you match Mizz Streisand when it comes to pushing her party, the DEMOS, BTW, to do what you think is right?
Only to have the .gov throw my money to a bunch of losers, fail to protect the nation's borders and work against my best interest.

Our government, Son, is precisely what we make it to be!
Maybe that's what you are talking about??

I didn't stutter, and I'm not tongue-tied, so read my post again if you're having difficulties!
No, I just want to solve the problem. I simply don't see your way as being very effective.

Do you remember the Republican Party of the early 1960s?
It was the Party of Nelson Rockefeller, white, wealthy, country club mentality, and as far removed from the average American as the British Crown must have been shortly before the American Revolution.
Then came the conservative onslaught, and Nelson Rockefeller was actually booed at the Republican Convention at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1964!
Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan took over the party, not with guns, but with good old grassroots activities!
And they fought and scrapped, and compromised, and advanced and retreated, just as one might expect in actual warfare.
They won the war, and the Reagan Revolution was the result.
The Soviet Union fell, as the direct result of what Ronald Reagan did.
All you have to do is to read the speeches of Ronald Reagan, given at a time when it was believed that the Soviet Union was destined to win the conflict and that the US should have been searching for a way to live peacefully within a Soviet World, to understand what we should believe now!
But nevermind, your mind is already made up. We have lost, for if the Libertarian Party is our best hope, then we have no hope at all!
Shall we now gather at your Alamo or at mine and wait till government security forces come to flush us out?
Huh?
