I know the long term history of Maryland would make one believe that our state will be the last stanchion of liberal gun control in the world, and that citizens here will never catch a break or a fair shake.
I am here to tell you to find another hobby if you cannot be supportive.
There are many, many people on and off this forum and in this state and out of this state that are busting their humps to break the stranglehold the uneducated, liberal nanny-state has on us. Prime example is the election of Governor Hogan.
I understand we all have less than optimistic day and I understand "our" cause will see setback and bumps in the road, but we cannot continue to suppress the enthusiasm and energy of those of us who are pushing against the mountain of a barrier we have in front of us blocking our 2A and civil rights. In my particular case, I got fed up and thought the time was right to take up my shield and sword to fight the fight for those who won't or who can't.
My ultimate reward will be the path others can follow to realize the freedoms afforded to us by our Founding Father and the brave Patriots who blazed the trails and set forth the precedent for our nation to be great.
Yes I want my credentials to be able to exercise my God given rights, but this cause is bigger than myself, bigger than this forum and bigger than this state. Until all suppression of rights is obliterated, any foothold can sprout new roots and spread to other areas.
The first step to defeating something is to attack what is seen. The next step is to eradicate and remove the foundation and roots so it cannot spring up again.
Right now the pruning shears are out and many are removing the small leaves and branches we can. Later will come the chainsaws and then the heavy equipment to remove what remains and to toss it into the abyss.
Please, if you have something more than pessimism and contrarian drivel, then contribute. Even negative feedback is feedback and can be useful, but if you just want to be a nay sayer and just contradict those who are in the trenches or who are supporting those in the trenches, then out of respect for those sweating and "bleeding" on your behalf, keep it to yourself.
I am not saying everything has to be presented in a rosy manner or that speaking the truth about the negativities encountered is improper, but treat this as if you were watching a child walk. Don't point, joke, heckle or generally put down those trying to "walk", because if you do, you will lose out on the fun and exhilaration of watching us run and will look like a fool.
End of rant.
