This is a great story. I have a friend who I have had multiple friendly arguments with on the gun debate. He is the typical American gun owner. He hunts and owns a rifle and a couple of shotguns, but has always believed that the 2nd Amendment is meant to be limited, that no one has a right to own an assault weapon, etc., etc. He even made a big deal of the NRA, and refused to join because of their RKBA positions. I got a call from him today. In the course of our conversation, he told me, to my astonishment "I've changed my mind, I think you are totally right on the gun issue." After picking my jaw off the desk, I asked him what had made him see the light. He told me that the underhanded, deceitful tactics of the liberals in this election farce have made him realize just how far they would go to get their way. For five minutes, he went on and on about how our freedoms are in danger and "what do you think the liberals would have done in this situation if we didn't have our guns?" Pretty soon, he was telling ME that we need to have the right to own assault weapons and that he himself was considering buying one! Talk about a Damascus road experience.
I may pass this story on to the Gore campaign to let them know what their attempts at political extortion have achieved.
