“The High and Low Road of Gun Rights” is an interesting article written by Jack Eldon Jackson. I hate disagreeing with a “certified firearms instructor, speaker, and former U.S. Marine who writes on issues involving government overreach,” but when you stand against Second Amendment activists, you give me no choice.

As a fan of Ann Coulter, I don’t believe it’s necessary to play nice with people that play dirty.

I don’t believe civility works with those who are uncivil. I’m tired of everybody else being proud about who they are while we gun owners are told to leave our guns in our cars  or at home.

The Second Amendment is a RIGHT, when a Muslim gets told not to wear the hijab (veil) at work, she sues because of Freedom of Religion. I think we need to sue, we need to raise our voice, and come out of the closet as gun owners.

Jack talks about dialogue, well, they don’t want to talk to us, and when they do, they insult us.

Do you remember Schultz (Starbucks CEO) speaking with us? Did he call Wayne LaPierre? No, he did not. Schultz spoke to his board of directors and his PR people, and then he decided to attack us in his open letter.

As for our actions fueling our opposition, don’t make me laugh. As I wrote on my blog:
“during the last election cycle, the NRA spent more than $24 million…the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence — the largest gun control organization — spent just $5,816 during the election.”

See? Whatever fuel they have is fake fuel, they have Bloomberg’s and Soros’s money, but they don’t have the people.

One gun banner admitted that: “It’s like a sugar rush,” says Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign, of the cycle of public concern after a major shooting. “It seems like we have intensity—there’s sympathy, there’s outrage—but that intensity proves to be transitory.”

Folks, what is visible becomes normal, accepted. Why do you think everybody has a tattoo nowadays? Visibility works! There’s 80 million of us yet we’re hardly seen outside our gun ranges and homes. I agree with activism, “cool heads and critical thinkers” are fine, we have plenty of those, but some people would rather get out there and show the uninformed what it means to be free.

So you go ahead and bring your guns to Starbucks. Go ahead and get in their faces. The late Andrew Breitbart wasn’t shy about it, Ann Coulter isn’t shy about it, Rush Limbaugh doesn’t mince words, so why the heck should we fear offending people “on the fence”?

Now I understand Jackson is a former US Marine, he’s used to structure, the chain of command, keeping his uniform looking spiffy, but this is the civilian world, Jackson! Military tactics are great within the military, but outside victory comes in many forms.

American history has both the civility of Washington and the incivility of the original Tea Party. Our actions at Starbucks didn’t result in property destruction, if anything, we went there, consumed their products, and help them make more money. If Schultz didn’t have his head stuck somewhere, he’d be giving us coupons.
