I have decided not to comply....I have decided that it's time to stop following the unconstitutional laws that are passed at night, under darkness, and behind closed doors. I am not out looking for a fight, but I will no longer comply either.

Your threshold may be higher....maybe you want to write a strongly worded letter to your representatives....they seem to listen to what their subjects want
Actually, it HAS worked for us very well until very recently. Americans today have a much more open mind on firearms and concealed carry than they did 40 years ago, in part because the community demonstrated we weren't the scary psychotics that Diane Feinstein and Chucky Schumer like to paint us. Every recent poll shows Americans much more open to guns and the right of self-defense than they were 40 years ago. The fact that a determined set of extremists has seized control of the legislative and executive branches and proceeded to act from positions of power has nothing to do with the fact that we have been winning the hearts and minds of the general public for the last 18+ years or the possibility that actions which seem to confirm Feinstein's and Schumer's caricatures may lose us those hearts and minds of the general public.
