| join both Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty, in this order: Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box.
The EFF only has two of those in its arsenal. The NRA has three. The people have all four, at least the ones that aren't too apathetic to drag themselves away from American Idol long enough to go vote... |

They do vote! By the millions! Many of them vote tens or hundreds of times!
Oh wait, you mean voting in an election... Then, no, they probably don't go out and vote  |

The EFF is indeed an impressive org. They plod along at the foundational level fighting the good fight relatively uncelebrated. I respect that. |

Re: join both The analogy fails because the EFF doesn't work for the interests of ATT, IBM, Microsoft, etc. In fact, they are often found on opposite sides of a court room.
Whereas the NRA defends profit not liberty. It doesn't cross gun manufacturers.
