31. In The Long Run, You're Going To Lose.

Fri Dec 28, 2012, 12:13 PM

Dec 2012

If not this school massacre, then after one or two or six more, down the road. With a political assassination or two or three thrown in. Maybe a few more spittle-flecked rants by Wayne LaPierre, just to seal the deal. At some point, the general public will have had enough, and decisive action will be taken. I think you and a few other DU Gun Enthusiasts are bright enough to understand all this. It's the reason that, for all your recent victories, gun rights advocates are always ill at ease. It's the reason that, even in the face of unspeakably vile adversaries like Antonin Scalia, we gun control advocates never lose hope. Have a pleasant day.
