I see that I said it wrong, again.
I don't necessarily think that OCT is doing it right.
I tend to think that rule one is: Don't freak the mundanes.
Carrying an EBR into Target is freaking the mundanes.
What I am trying to say is I understand why they are doing what they are doing the way they are doing it.
I think people on the pro-gun side are discounting the desperation that lots of pro-gunners on the outlying issues of gun-rights feel. The reason they feel that way is because they feel ignored by the mainstream gun rights folks.
The condemnation of their desperate tactics serves to convince them they were correct, that they were being deliberately discounted and ignored.
And it feels so familiar. Like when nobody cared about assault weapons until they banned them. (Which is almost certainly a misremembering of the situation, but you know, feewings.)
I empathize with them because I feel like NFA is another red-headed step child of the pro-gun movement.
Of course, I don't carry my SBR into Target...
