(11,464 posts)People told Martin Luther King to give up too
And Barack Obama was told to give up
As someone from NYC, Mayor Mike Bloomberg(lifetime democrat/liberal now independent after posing as a repub to get elected) with his personal fortune he has vowed to give away by the time he is old on this issue, what he wants, he can speak as he is not scared of the NRA as they have less money than he does. (See, money can be a good thing and not always mean bad).
True, nobody in 2012 pre-election will do anything.
But after Obama is reelected, and if the Dems have both parts of congress, who knows what great stuff can happen.
And these events can be preventable without guns being banned too...long as bullets
disappear or better Control happens to prevent further Kaos.
Make a gun irrelevant and it don't have any power (like Dorothy told the Wicked Witch).
somethings take a while.
After all, Obama's election happened 50 years after LBJ signed the Civil Rights / Voting rights acts.
give it time and anything is possible.
