The Pornographying of Firearms

Glenn,
As you would expect, I agree that firearms and related subjects are treated more and more as objectionable - similar to pornography.

Where you and I differ, is that I recognize the "pornographication" of firearms is merely one more step toward the complete gutting of the Second Amendment. There are many people willfully or unintentionally supporting that travesty:

- People who want to force guns completely out of our culture. The leading witch, of course, is Sarah Brady.

- People who want to "stop the killing" (just as WE do). But these are the uneducated, misguided, or simply zealous folks who do not realize where their efforts lead.

- People who are afraid of controversy - for personal or business reasons.

- People who fail to learn that compromise with zealots is temporary and a non-solution. The zealots merely make new, additional demands.

There may be others, but these are the ones who come quickly to mind. That is why I plan to rub it in every single time that someone suggests yet another

reasonable compromise.

Either you believe in the Second Amendment or you don't.
Stick it to 'em! RKBA!
 
I have been trying to define pornography to my own satisfaction for many years. The closest I have come that has stuck is: Pornography is a lie with the intention of debasing the truth. I consider the methods utilized by some antis as pornographic. It does not have to do merely with a distortion of sexual imagery by hucksters. By my personal definition, Washington is Sin City.
 
Dennis, I though I raised the problem as a threat to the Second Ammendment. So how to we disagree.

I even wont get excited by the compromise issue. As you know, I regard the battle as a struggle where you use various tactics and strategies. You give a step back for three steps forward.

The problem with your compromisers is one I agree with. They think that a compromise will stop the attack - it won't.

The never give in crowd thinks that they will always be able to fend off attacks. They are wrong.

I believe in a subtle and twisting approach.
As Clint Smith says - you can cheat to win.

Dennis: “Where you and I differ, is that I recognize the "pornographication"

Second Amendment.”

Glenn: “Dennis, I thought I raised the problem as a threat to the Second
Amendment. So how do we disagree?”

Dennis: (Long pause) I have NO idea what I saw (or thought I saw) to
justify my comment. :confused: It’s flat wrong. I apologize. :o
- I wonder what the heck I thought I was addressing at the time. ??
- Maybe in re-writing I edited something out? I just don’t know. Sorry.

Glenn: “The never give in crowd thinks that they will always be able to fend

Dennis: I don’t want to agree; however it is obvious we are losing and
losing at an increasing rate.

Glenn: “I believe in a subtle and twisting approach. As Clint Smith says -
you can cheat to win.”

Dennis: I believe I’m about ready to discuss your ideas in depth.
 
I was noticing this aspect a week or so ago. Here in Charlotte, the major gun store is in a decrepit half-occupied strip mall in a porn section of town.

The others are in far out industrial areas. The same for the ranges.

The clientele for most of these is serious country folk. The wealthy Charlotteans go to the porn district.

But, you know how we guys love our dives for breakfast of grits/hasbrowns, fried eggs and meat. Maybe we like our guns that way, too.
