First off, there's no "movement" going on here. I don't attend any political rallies etc. Unfortunately, video games and vagina still occupy most of what little free time I have these days (and that's an entirely separate topic for another day). I don't spend any time on it mainly because of what you just said. It's an uphill battle that I don't have the desire to actively fight. These are fun topics to debate while bored at work though.
Also, what you just said is precisely WHY those that have the time and inclination should continue the fight. Americans as a whole are far too happy to sit around and watch their civil liberties erode away while the government simultaneously allows civilian law enforcement to be geared up in military grade gear that civilians are forbidden from owning. If these two things weren't happening at the same time, I wouldn't be as concerned.
"Those who trade liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both". Words from a founding father. It's too bad smart people like Obs and Sonya don't realize how important those words are in the context of what's transpiring in this country today. Those in power convincing you to give up your rights in exchange for "safety" is not a new concept of course.
