Reply #31: The repubs at the Brady Campaign want you to THINK that all Dems want to ban guns...

[benEzra]

I'm amazed at the support for gun rights on these boards... this isn't an attitude one typically associates with the Left, whatever that is. I used to be anti-gun, but I've come to realize maybe the founding fathers knew a thing or two about the way Kings named George use their power.

I get a chuckle out of the supreme court's ruling, if only because this political class needs to start fearing We The People again. And I do think they're scared.

The repubs at the Brady Campaign want you to THINK that all Dems want to ban guns, but you'll find that while the is certainly a minority that does, most don't.



FWIW, I am one of those eeeee-villll "AK-47" owners that the Brady Campaign is always warning you about.



(That's a 2002 model SAR-1, a non-automatic civilian carbine, FWIW. All actual AK-47's are very tightly controlled in the United States.)
