I appreciate your comments, but frankly, I'm about done trying to have any kind of dialogue with the anti-gun crowd, and with the broader left in general for that matter. The time for discussion was in the spring when this thing was being debated in the Legislature. They lost, we won, now follow the law.Glockster wrote:Perhaps it could be an opportunity to get things out on record? You're only paranoid if they aren't out to get you. Having that discussion, asking the pointed questions, getting their answer out in public could prove beneficial when they then carry out their intent. Isn't Austin known for not liking the light of day on those kind of issues?
Not to get political, but things like this and the gnashing of teeth by the college professors over campus carry have got me a bit steamed this morning. Did anybody on the left ever propose facilitating a conversation on how county clerks opposed to gay marriage might avoid the recent Supreme Court decision requiring all states to recognize it? No, they said "you lost, we won now follow the law or go to jail. Period, end of discussion". And in that case and others like it, the law was decided on dubious grounds by an unelected judiciary imposing its own worldview on things, not through an honest and transparent legislative process like our side went through to get OC done (even though arguably we shouldn't have even had to do that because we actually have a real amendment backing us up, but I digress).
Oh well, sorry for the rant.
Acevedo et.al. are going to do what Acevedo et. al. are going to do, and giving him/them another opportunity to get on a soapbox won't help anything. He simply needs to be told to follow the law.
