I'm afraid not. The men that Adams was inciting had more *ahem* spine than any of today's wimps and cowards.

Are you refering to our political representatives or the populace in general? If the former I give you Rand Paul and those who supported his filibuster such as Ted Cruz. Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise and the 170 members of the House 'Republican Study Committee" who have raised the ire of Boehner and his ilk by pushing back at "leadership". If the latter I give you the men and women who participate on this forum and others like it across this great country, who rally, who educate, who lead by example in their communities, the men and women who currently serve and those retired from service, in the armed forces of our country. Those who hold dear their oath to uphold and defend the Constittution. Not a wimp nor coward among them.

I don't believe so. While the truly blue states will or already have initiated legislation in the NYS Safe Act mold, fly over country will continue to support our 2A rights.

Keep telling yourself that while your rights evaporate. I heard that same talk last election, and Obama was re-elected and Republicans lost seats. You'd better hope all those ghosts show up to the polls. Otherwise stock up on ammo, if you can, because it's about to get messy.

The Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act 2004 as amended 2010 and 2013, will trump Hawaii's attempt to disarm them. There is already case law, significantly in New York, that has shielded out of state LEOs from prosecution.
