So...what about that tipping point? [View all]

It seems like for the last year or two I've been hearing about this upcoming "tipping point" from the control oriented folks. However, I haven't seen that phrase used in over a month across the entire gun control social media footprint. What gives?

Will the tipping point ever cometh?

Let me assure you, I was certainly displeased with Trump's election night victory. I just hope that the gun control folks will keep the empty rhetoric coming under a Republican administration. I'm sure people probably think I dislike gun controllers, quite the opposite. Without gun controllers doing their thing, it gets to be very difficult to raise money. Without money it makes pro-rights efforts very difficult. We still have plenty of work to do on campus and constitutional carry. Please don't let us down.
