    Enough already with the "I won't comply" posts

    It seems as the general environment in California becomes increasingly hostile towards the 2A group, I read more and more "I won't comply" posts. Here's the deal folks:
    1. The feds that troll this site now know what you have.
    2. You're full of cr@p. You're not going to risk losing everything over that bullet button.

    If you really want to affect change, you're going to have to work at it. Years ago, I worked as a lobbyist in Sacramento, and you know what folks, the system was just as broken back then. Change will only happen by starting at the local level, and it's hard. It takes time, energy, and a lot of doors slammed in your face and people telling you off on the phone. It's almost enough to make you just give up.

    But if you persevere, change can happen slowly. I hear so much talk about revolution, and screw this or screw that. I read Facebook posts on so many of the gun retailer sites but it doesn't seem as if anybody wants to actually step up and do anything.

    So, if change is what you want to see, then act. Start at the local level. Trying to change at the macro level is too much when starting out. And please, please, please, STOP with the "I won't comply" rhetoric. You think you're a tough guy? Post a story of how you didn't comply when they came knocking and the authorities turned around and went away because you spouted your 2A rights. Good luck with that!

        Excellent post and your #2 point is right on. Yes we are frustrated, but we are overall law abiding citizens, and there are way too many keyboard commandos around here.

          Here's an idea: You could try not deliberately clicking on and reading the "I won't comply" posts if you don't like them. Imagine that.

                You assume too much OP! Tell me how the "feds that troll this website" know what I have?

                  I may or may not comply, but history tells us the OP has no idea what he is talking about. Compliance has never been high for gun control laws.

                      I'd be willing to bet good money 60+% of the people on here have shot less than 10 years. Easily. Not many on here owned firearms prior to the '86 & 2000 bans. People generally comply with gun laws with few exceptions. One being a (gun) part or two that may be removed easily such as a magazine.

                      I had quite a few friends that said they wouldn't register AR's (raws) prior to the 2k ban. Every one of them did with one exception & moved out of state.

                      I like the guys that take it a step further & roll over....tattoos such as "cold dead hands". Yeah, right!

                        Larkja. What you posted to my question is fail! I asked a simple question and there is no evidence of my fire arms!

                            That is true. Big fail on my part.
