This will fix everything and close the "gun show" and "internet" loophole when they know it does no such thing for private sales between two people residing within the same state.

Got any comment there SecMo?
You posted the story, it's good manners to comment, oh, wait.

...when you don't have an original thought rattling around in your noodle

The utility of the President's EA is that it forces RKBA advocates to make contradictory claims, i.e. "the President is trampling out rights" versus "The President didn't do anything of substance."

So, once the contradictory nature of these claims is exposed it will supposedly undermine RKBA advocates, thus costing them public support.

And once that support has been eroded then gun control extremists can do what? Not petition for rights-trampling legislation?

It seems the issue isn't so much RKBA contradiction so much as it is gun control extremists' duplicity and bad faith debating tactics (born of having decisively lost the political argument).

What % of homicides do you guarantee will be reduced? And what will the penalty be if you're wrong?

I mean, you and I know the answer is "undetectable", but that's not that you tell the people.

They got to the chief county librarians in the San Francisco area. Threatened all the board members for the Bancroft Prize.

Had embarrassing pictures of the board at his University doing naked keg stands and were going to publish them is they didn't revoke his tenure and fire him.

I heard they even kidnapped the children of his publishers and forced them to pull all his wonderful work of "research" because his findings threatened the NRA financial base from selling assault rifles online with no background checks to children.

Really? It is? Maybe I'm mistaken but I recall a few instances of a Democrat or three saying disparaging things about some Republicans. And really? Is there a "nice way" of accusing a sitting President of being a dictator? What's that? The article didn't say that??? Oh you're right! And neither did the Speaker. "Tyrant" and accusations of such accusations are just sensationalist journalism, otherwise known as being the class clown. As George Carlin has adeptly articulated, the job of the class clown is ATTRACTING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF.

An often repeated and rejected lie:
>> the NRA and its congressional enablers impede gun research
The truth:
>> Congressional RKBA advocates got a law passed against publicly funding gun control advocacy.
Being fair about allowing public money to be spent advancing gun-control would amount to also giving public funds to advance ideas that the NRA, SAF and other organizations support. I'm personally against giving tax money to either side.


OTOH maybe that's just another instance of sensationalist journalism, first amendment and all they get to say stuff back when you take a swipe at them on national TV. I'd be surprised if they said nothing.


Now that the preliminaries are out of the way, I'll move on to my attempt at sensationalism. Here's an excerpt from the article linked in the OP:

One point which may be inferred from this excerpt is that for some reason, there is some magic number of dead Americans that makes it okay to abandon protecting a right. Let me make this clear: the rights as expressed in the Bill of Rights derive from natural human rights. Those rights are eternal. Those rights are not subject to edicts from powerful politicians nor to the popular whims of a well meaning legislature. For those of you that think tons of restrictions, Constitutional or not, should be part of the Democratic agenda, I don't want to hear about gun nuts and the NRA when Republicans win elections.

Some pro-control folks will ask questions like 'How many more Americans will have to die before we're allowed to confiscate all your bullet spitting {penis reference} toys.' You control happy folks that imply with that question that we pro-RKBA types think rights can be negotiated using specious reasoning about tools used by law enforcement and criminals, by hunters and gang bangers, by rapists and by those who object to being raped and/or killed, I'm going to give my answer right now; all of them.
