"The last 25 years of scientific criminological research shows that gun control increases violent crime and never reduces crime, costing thousands of lives each year, and endangers everyone including those who choose not to own firearms."

Instead of protecting people from terrorists or criminals, the plain goal here is to gradually reduce the... guns that people can own. - New York PostIt's nice to see that somebody in New York "gets it"!

"Gun Control" has never BEEN about the guns. It has always been about the CONTROL.
We need to take it back. The frog pot is on full boil. Time to jump or die.

Logic and reason mean litle or nothing to fanatics. These people are fanatics.
Their aversion to guns rises from numerous sources.
1) They are afraid that an armed populace might someday grow sick of the liberal nonsense that is destroying America and avail themselves of the rights so lucidly laid out in the Declaration of Independence.
2)There is strong pressure from "minority" "leaders" for tough gun control measures as gun crime in minority neighborhoods is very high. These "minority" "leaders" and the political panderers who cater to them, of course, refuse to recognize the core cause of this violence, which is sociological, not technological. The fanatastic illegitimacy rate among certain minorty groups, the breakdown of the nuclear family in minority communities, and the inability of the government to provide an adequate substitute for self-respect, responsibility and a sense of pride and honor - things in part erased by prior liberal government programs are the root causes of these problems - not guns. But these liberal panderers in both parties would never enunciate such a truism.
3)And finally, they view guns as symbolic of white, male, Christian, European dominance. And as a symbol they view guns as far more deadly than their performance as a working tool.

John Lott's right the choice of what gun to ban is based on purely arbitrary criteria. The point is gun banners seek to restrict gun choices and now in California, the availability of ammunition itself, as means of gradually outlawing private gun ownership altogether. The opposition wants to get there through a series of "baby steps." By the time 2nd Amendment champions and gun enthusiasts realize what's afoot, it will be too late. These guys can't stop us in one fell swoop so they are taking incremental steps to strip us of our rights. Lott astutely points out just what is happening now as far as the RKBA is concerned.

And .. because all the braying about all the bad things that would happen - never happened. When we try to warn people about REALLY BAD THINGS - the public turns a deaf ear - because the dems have already proven to them that it's all hype. Very dangerous.
