McCain has "work to do with gun owners"

Yep, he certainly does.

I'd love to see a more pro-2A front-running candidate. Probably all of us would.

But regarding voting your principles, protest write-ins, and just staying home on election day, sometimes I fear that some of us have never taken any lessons from Don Quixote.

If you don't comprehend Cervantes, I can use a poker analogy. When you play poker, you play the hand you've got and you make the best of it. Sometimes (very rarely) you win a big pot. Other times, you win a small pot. Sometimes you break even. And yes...sometimes you lose with the hand you have.

But one thing's for certain. You're damned well guaranteed to lose if you fold.

Please folks, don't fold on this. Folding is for when it's time to invoke the purpose of the 2A...and that time sure ain't now.
