Our forefathers understood that certain rights were inalienable, God-given, untouchable by mere men. That's why they delineated these uncompromising principles in the Bill of Rights. We, at Gun Owners of America, are often asked why we aren't more amenable, willing to compromise. Our answer is that we are always willing to make concessions that are physical, but not of principle. When we politically compromise and allow anti-gun legislation to pass, no matter how insignificant it may appear to be, we have abdicated our responsibilities.
Abdication is the work for surrendering our principles legislatively.
Honor binds us to resist with all our might. It is our duty to oppose ANY AND ALL attempts at watering down the principles embodied in the Second Amendment. We are obligated by principle to vigorously oppose any move that diminishes the same freedom enjoyed by our fathers. There are those in the gun movement who call out for pragmatism, bipartisan cooperation and dialogue with our opposition. A few crumbs from the table.
