You guys are depressing me. Never, never, ever give up. I perceive a failure to appreciate the historical perspective of the current anti-gun hysteria. It is founded in the sick, sick desire by one man to leave some lasting mark other than a bodily fluid stain on a blue dress. He brought with him a host of fellow travellers whom he empowered. One group in particular, trial attorneys, holds his attention. It is only through the trail attorneys that the assult on the Second Amendment is so vicious. The reason why is President Clinton CAN NOT GET WHAT HE WANTS THROUGH CONSTITUTIONAL MEANS. Every attempt at a law through congress is defeated. He can either just give up or he can use the power of the lawsuit.
I have no doubts that if we were fortunate enough to change presidents (I do not refer to Gore as a change) a lot of the offensive we see against the second amendment will disappear. That is why it is critical to get active, get involved, get mad as hell and carry it into the voting booth.
Is the Second Amendment under assult?? You betcha. The attack we feel on Second is merely the warmup for an assult on two elements of the First and Forth. Those of you who wail over the Second Amendment....did you wail as loudly when the entire medical infrastructure was under assult early in Clinton's reign? That was a raw exercise in Fascist power. What we see with the Second is the same thing. Will you wail as loudly when the tobacco industry is dismantled, or when Microsoft is dismembered, or when the lawsuits start against HMO's?
I said it before and I'll say it again, the entire concept of self government is under attack.
