The vast majority of that time was spent in various schools getting an 
education.  Now I work for a living.  At no time in the last 27 years did I 
live in Washington D.C. or claim to be a gun rights activist.  This is in 
contrast to many of the posters here who regularly preen and praise 
themselves for all they have done in the name of RKBA, while bashing 
other's efforts.  I don't worry about DC too much since I've chosen to live 
in a relatively free state, but I also don't begrudge those who choose to 
stand up the right to do so on their own terms.

The residents of CA are living under onerous and unconstitutional anti-gun 
legislation.  If those who are so afflicted want to beg SCOTUS for relief, 
is it right to scold them just because the NRA doesn't think it's the right 
combination of onerous unconstitutional gun laws?
