You wonder if the liberal grabboids will EVER get it!

[King Prout]

actually, I believe the "leadership" (overlords, rather) "get it" very well, and that is EXACTLY what they are afraid of:
1. armed cits taking care of their own business, without feeling compelled to have Big Gov solve their every little problem
-a. cuts the bureaucracy and admin overhead, and gov-lifers don't like that
-b. would lead to a gutting of domestic tax-funded programs, and gov-lifers REALLY don't like that - they'd have to go work for a living if that happened
-c. would lead to a dramatic reduction of the already specious excuses used for taxation, and gov-lifers' heads explode when they contemplate THAT
-d. would lead to cits imposing The Rules once again in society, leading to sharp curtailment of all the nasty little experiments in social engineering the Left has been conducting Lo! these many years (and, yes, the gov-lifers HATE that idea)

2. armed cits would assuredly put up with less invasive crap from Big Gov, and might just eyeball the gov-lifers and take care of THEIR problems in the bargain.

No I don't wonder at all; I KNOW they will never 'get it'.
