The antigun lobby is the monster that won’t die, can’t be killed, will never, never stop. Even if they won, then they’d go after slingshots and folding pocketknives. Why? Because they are too well funded to stop. If you could peel back the curtain, you’d probably find a couple of non-governmental organizations (NGO) that are funded, sometimes with government money. The people in those organizations have a job with benefits. If they actually won everything their organization wants, then they’d rebrand and go after something else, because it’s a job. The anti-lead lobby started as an organization to ban bullets. They couldn’t do that, so they went after lead. When they got lead banned in all products they went after chromium and cadmium. When they get that banned, they’ll go after something else.

That’s how the left operates on every issue, abortion, gun rights, gay rights, etc. Like another FReeper said the other day, when they win, which they almost always do, they just move the goal posts and continue the fight.

“Why isn’t this a huge story in the country?”


Sort of like the March of Dimes? Originally founded to combat and treat polio, when polio disappeared they switched to birth defects and now appear to be ‘fighting for the health of moms and babies’.

For those that don’t know, it’s why FDR is on the dime. He was one of the founders of the March of Dimes.
