Well, if as the story goes, you have neither influence on the leadership nor the willingness to disassociate yourself from their enterprise, just HOW exactly could you "make things better"???
- You can't or won't speak out on the record for gun rights.
- You can't or won't refuse to be a prop for anti-gun theater.
- You're willing to take advantage of a position of privilege to have things the rest can't.
At best, you're a helpless pawn, at worst, a willing participant.
There's going to come a point where you have to CHOOSE.
if you choose pay, pension, power and privilege over your duty as a citizen, will you demand to be respected for selling the rest out? Will you demand that we not citicize you for doing so because it "incites cop killing"? Do the rest of us have a DUTY to THANK our oppressors for oppressing us?
