Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: The Battle this year for Gun Control in Virginia is OVER and some broader thoughts..... [View all]jimmy the one
(2,708 posts)vamtnman: I keep hearing about the public demanding for Gun Control .. even the same Anti-Gun advocates are still sneaking around (they really do),
Anti gun advocates (aka guncontrol advocates) 'sneak round' - 'they really do'? You mean crouched over low to the ground? hiding behind sofas & curtains?
Sneak: act in a stealthy furtive manner; a thief who does not break his way in; slink;
mtn man: O well... i have long posted about the effects of "call for action on gun control" In the end, you may get New York, and a couple of other places to pass strict gun control, but the rest of the nation will move the OTHER way. Due in large part to what the gun owners see happening in the gun ban utopias. I posted this several months ago, and so far it seems to be holding true, yet again..
You and Mr DemDealer (another DU poster) should team up & work together. You have the same message, your lifes work it seems. Guard the national civilian gunstock - from phantom boogeymen.
mtn man: Calls for Gun Control tend to be answered with even LESS gun control, this tends to happen when a vocal minority starts screaming for legislation that a much larger and highly motivated group utterly hates, .....So, call away....It helps your opposition win.
Problem is, it tends to be the REPUBLICANS that stand to gain from the calls, and we all pay the price.
What will be the effect, that because of the call for gun control, a few Democrats in red states loose in the midterms?? What would be the effect if the senate flips to Repuke hands?? Will it be worth it, even if no gun control legislation gets passed into law?
What is the price YOU are willing to pay, What is the price YOUR willing to have the rest of us pay? No one asked themselves that back in 1993 when Gun Control was a "hot issue" and it burned us BAD.
Wow, another nathan hale. You should join the republican party mtn man; how many of these type threads, almost identical in nature with untruths, half truths, & duplicity abounding, do you plan on posting this year?
I'm not trusting or believing much of anything you say anymore, mtn man.
mtn man: And before some of you try to rip me to shreds, realize that I am agreement with you on virtually all other issues
virtual, as well as other defs, CAN mean: adverb: in essence or effect but not in fact
virtually: adverb: (of actions or states) slightly short of or not quite accomplished; `near' is sometimes used informally for `nearly' and `most' is sometimes used informally for `almost'
