There are those who would take offense at my use of the term “prohibitionist” to describe members of groups like the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Northland Million Moms
I take offense at the author's use of such a mild term to describe these stinking commie b@st@ards who want to undermine the US Constitution and take away individual liberties and freedoms in America. "Prohibitionists"? I don't think so.

Stinking commie b@st@ards.

From the liberal playbook:

1) Create a bogeyman where none exists -— in this case, gun shows make it easy to for criminals to get guns.

2) Create a catchy name for this bogeyman -— gun show loophole.

3) Employ your accomplices to fabricate the dangers of this bogeyman — “studies” and “editorials”

4) Convince spineless politicians to jump on your bandwagon through large contributions - Brady Campaign, Million Moms, etc

5) Pass legislation to restrict the bogeyman.

6) Find a new bogeyman.

How about licenses for newspapers, magazines, and broadcasters?

And background checks, registration, and licenses for reporters and commentators?

Oh, that’s right. The First Ammendment is different than the Second Ammendment.

The commie b@$t@rds who advocate gun control aren't going to be deterred or discouraged in their efforts to destroy our country and our Constitution by facts.

“... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. ......just pass the the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted — and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”- p.411, Ayn Rand, ATLAS SHRUGGED, Signet Books, NY, 1957 “...

Get around the loophole, form a living trust, each family member is on the “board”, all firearms are listed as property of the board, therefore they can be used freely by any board member, also works for NFA items
