But most hardliners seem to think that all battles are worth fighting all the time, everywhere, and with maximum intensity. No one fights wars that way and wins. You have to take a lot of limitations into account if you’re waging war or waging political struggle. Hardliners don’t accept that there is a limit to our political influence. They fight as if we had 200 million other Americans behind us. Generals who fight that way lose armies. Political movements that are similarly unrealistic end up similarly destroyed. We need a reform movement for NRA that understands limits and is politically realistic. If such a movement were to appear, I would support it.

NRA needs a Reform  Movement that’s Realistic.

There are 2 groups of gun people interested in a re-shaping of the NRA: Those who really feel we need to improve and get a second wind and those who want payback and payment.

Choose your sides wisely.
