The Theatuh, the Theatuh – what book of rules says the Theater exists only within some ugly buildings crowded into one square mile of New York City? Or London, Paris or Vienna? Listen, junior. And learn. Want to know what the Theater is? A flea circus. Also opera. Also rodeos, carnivals, ballets, Indian tribal dances, Punch and Judy, a one-man band – all Theater. Wherever there’s magic and make-believe and an audience – there’s Theater. Donald Duck, Ibsen, and The Lone Ranger, Sarah Bernhardt, Poodles Hanneford, Lunt and Fontanne, Betty Grable, Rex and Wild, and Eleanora Duse. You don’t understand them all, you don’t like them all, why should you? The Theater’s for everybody – you included, but not exclusively – so don’t approve or disapprove. It may not be your Theater, but it’s Theater of somebody, somewhere. — All About Eve

Last night, I saw people from almost all walks of life, of various economic and social status, come together to support something they all believe in.  The pro-gun rights movement is not a monolithic entity.  It is composed of men and women, rich and poor, black and white.  My barber shared a table with a doctor.  A wealthy man walked away with two guns, but so did the female owner of a small business.

This is why, even though it is sometimes a slog, we will eventually win this fight.  It’s not just rednecks from the South that support our rights.  Rather, it’s a broad swath of our society that believes that responsible people ought to be left alone when it comes to firearms, if not every other aspect of their lives.  Yes, we still have a long way to go in outreach to women and other demographics, but we have come a long way already.

So long as we keep our eye on the prize and explain why it’s important in terms that all can understand, we will win.
