Here is what I think the NRA has missed, Liberty is not, cannot be, a “one issue” movement.

You cannot have some unalienable rights. You were either born a free a man by the grace and intention of God, or you are begging for scraps.

The 2nd Amendment cannot exist in a vacuum, where all rights are not respected. Any such gain is only temporary.

“Here is what I think the NRA has missed, Liberty is not, cannot be, a “one issue” movement.”

Precisely why they cannot be trusted, nor any other “single issue” agitation group. They gladly sell out other ideals in order to fatten their own enterprise. Hence my skepticism about the “economic vs. social” conservative dichotomy. If you are one, you are the other. If you are not one, you are neither.

It’s like the phrase “courage of your convictions”: as if they could be separated.
