Quote of the Day
Cooling-off periods infringe on the Second Amendment by preventing the lawful acquisition of firearms. Cooling off periods do not fit into any historically grounded exceptions to the right to keep and bear arms, and burden conduct within the Second Amendment’s scope. In this preliminary posture, we conclude that New Mexico’s Waiting Period Act is likely an unconstitutional burden on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens. We also conclude the other preliminary injunction factors are met and that Plaintiffs are entitled to an injunction.

I don’t think I will ever get tired of winning. Prove me wrong.
I love winning too.
Let me know your thoughts on this though….
Are we winning faster than the Overton window is shifting in our direction?
At what point will we undo so much gun control that a large majority of voters feel uncomfortable with such drastic sudden change?
Also: The best way to move the Overton window quickly?
The best thing that I can think to do personally is be a visible, active member of the community. The nice guy who helps set-up and clean-up at community events and always wears an NRA shirt. The guy who tips well and wears the USA Shooting polo shirt.
Including target shooting in more conversations.
Taking new folks shooting.
and (gasp!) maybe even putting a bumper sticker on my car…
Thougths?
