Reply #6: That's ok

Just remember they are in the minority and powerless so it's gonna get harder and harder to scare the rest. Reminds me of the fundamentalist that will never give up until every other religion is destroyed. The cause will always need a boogie man so all those big bucks keep flowing to the NRA to get Republicans and a token Democrat elected. That helps keep minds off of the real issues that aren't settled, like corporate greed. You see statistics prove that there are not enough people or money to screw up the rights we enjoy now. The courts agree too. No restrictive Federal legislation has been passed in years. State laws are getting more liberal every day. Political movements to restrict firearms can't even get donations and have lost members left and right. It's like old Birchers still looking behind every bush for a commie, almost pathetic.
Now the only threat to gun rights is if an incident or two change public opinion. Just as a catastrophic oil spill has turned libertarians into sudden "big government socialist", mass murders and assassinations will be what changes public opinion and all other arguments will fly out the window. Habeas corpus went out the window because of 16 men with box cutters. Who'd thought? Your best bet to keep our gun rights now is to find a way to keep guns out of the hands of the real people that are a threat to gun rights, nut cases, terrorist and criminals. But, I'm sure that is too hard and inconvenient.
