Response, and the one that followed.

I understand the fear and selfishness of so many gun owners.

I understand the gun freaks who rush out to buy ever more guns. I understand their perceived needs and 'justifiable' excuses. I understand the slippery slope notions and cold dead hands memes and 'be prepared' rationals, the wilingness of 'law abiding' gun owners to be not so lawful when it suits them. I understand the terrible sacrifices and horrid infringements gun owners have suffered already... and those yet to come. I understand heir boycotts and lawuits and never-ending parroting of RW and NRA bullet points.

As stated previously, this is all nothing new.

And yet, things ARE changing, not everywhere of course, not alot, or as much as many wanted, but a bit. A bit more then ladt time, and more then has been in a long while. Push back of course. Still-It has started. And it will continue again, when the next lawful gun fucker decides not to be and kills a bunch of people.

Certainly no rainbows involved, simply just a Matter of time.
