"The people who run the political machine known as the “Gun Control Movement”"

Bull. There is no "gun control movement. Just a tiny lobby lacking any grassroots.

That was evident when the very-antigun Washington ComPost attributed the defeat of HCI etc. in the last House gun vote to the fact that we - but not the antigun lobby - are the only side that actually has a "grassroots" everywhere in the U.S. to pester congresscritters before key votes. That was evident when Bill Klinton publicly admitted the gun issue defeated Algore - costing him 5-10 states. That is evident when the Violence Policy Center doesn't even claim to have members.

And it is evident from the failure of the first "Million" Mom March - on a Sunday - to get more than 10,000 to show in the huge Washington metro area, most all admittedly coming from just one state (Pennsylvania), despite being within a two-hour drive of many big metro areas. And it was even more evident in the financial collapse of MMM within a year - as there just weren't enough participants to fund it NRA-style out of dues.

Even the rich commies who funded the antigun lobby in its big days of the late 1990s have given up on it. MMM - funded nearly entirely by George Soros - did so poorly he wouldn't keep funding it, and MMM had to downsize all but one of its 35 staffers. A petition drive to repeal shall-issue CCW funding in Michigan lost all funding from commie foundations - when the commie foundations openly said that they saw no hope of winning the referendum.

Scandals of antigun activists - with truth of "Million" Mom March, including exclusive photos!

I agree the gun control lobby is on the wain now. They could still come back. Let's finish them off for good. Keep pounding gun rights into your congresscritter. Get the NRA membership up to ten million. Let the media assholes know that gun rights are the most important rights in America because they protect all the other rights. Let those arrogant elite bastards in washington dc know that if you mess with gun rights you will be out by a recall election or at the end of your term.
