Even the craven gun lobby should manage some shame over this absurd example of Second Amendment idolatry.
Pretty brave words for someone who isn't staking his personal reputation on them. Pretty bold for someone who will take no personal role in the evil physical disarmament he and his fellow effeminate subversives on The Times' editorial staff dream of visiting on the Republic.
Pretty slick the way he weasel-words his presentation to make it seem like "the gun lobby" is against mental health background checks--despite the NRA supporting the McCarthy bill (a position many of us disagree with).
You don't want to test whether or not organized American gun owners are "cowardly," pal. Especially not personally. Trust me on this.
As for being "defeated" and "vanquished," he's obviously insulated himself from the gun owners I know--people who visit this site every day and tell me they are just about at the end of their tolerance threshold. These people haven't even begun to fight.Predictions of our demise--coming from the brilliant tacticians whose leadership and evolving marketplace savvy has resulted in a 47% decline in share value over the past 5 years (with their rating just lowered from "stable" to "negative", declining revenues, operating out of such desperation that they've been forced to reduce the size of their paper (and the amount of space available for "news", which is the whole reason for their existence, by 10%), and this after cutting 4% of their staff two years ago--are actually pretty funny.
