And the walls come tumbling down.
• The game is played with polemics:
Define what militia means
Define what a gun is, assault weapon, and semi automatic…....
Define criminal
Define mental disorder
Define registering, license...........
• Then play the game of a thousand bureaucratic knife cuts:
Tax it, make lots of frivolous laws the require special handling of ammunition, no use of lead, restrict transportation, sales, require special training, create gun free zones, micro manage ranges, require gun owners to have a safe, make it to where you can’t sell a gun to a friend, make any modifications on it impossible, or where gun manufacturers have include safety locks, special electronic signature systems…….. Make stores go through arduous nut rolls of paper work and if they forget to cross a “t” or don’t an “i” jump all over them!!!!!!!! And of course the facade arguments will ALWAYS be “for the children and for the environment,” that latter being the new one.
The end state is always the same: Disarm citizens.
The socialist fears armed citizens since they have rights. It’s not about crime, public safety, or any other of the presented reasons by the left. It’s an ideology where the gun has become a focal point. Like abortion, which the liberal sees as some Constitutional right, the gun has become more than a tool made of steel and wood, but a symbolic focal point around which the left rallies. They attack the gun for the same reason why they so vehemently demand crosses removed from public buildings. In the battleground between the American traditionalist and secular progressives, the gun is just one more symbolic issue for the left. The gun owner just wants his guns, but the left has a deep rooted ideological motivation for their position, and that’s why you can’t change their minds even when you destroy all their arguments.

Mayor Fenty: Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But neither is anyone in the DC government. They’re all bone heads trying to figure out what to do next.
But then, this is the same city that had more than 50-million dollars stolen from city coffers right under its nose. From where?: The DC Office of Taxation.
What a mess.
Well..let him have law abiding gun owners arrested for a ban that’s been striken from law by the Supreme Court. I look forward to the many lawsuits by citizens against the DC Police Department.
