I read the thread about HCI's tactics and lies and it made me realize why it is working.
In the past we have explained its success as due to incrementalism. This is true but it is only part of the story.
Their ploy is based on the certain knowledge that 99% of gun-owners are essentially decent and law-abiding citizens and they know that we will not fight until it is too late.
This situation is a serious problem to me
and I would expect bothers most of you too. A lot of people oppose abortion.I dont want to debate abortion-just use the issue as an example.Some people see it as murder and feel justified in bombing clinics and shooting doctors. There will always be crazy people who will commit the crimes.Abortion clinics are guarded and have their own protective laws.The same can be said about women, minorities and homosexuals. There are specific laws protecting them and others as defined categories of people. This is because they have been threatened and abused and existing laws treating them the same as other people were not considered to be adequate because they did not address the specific emotion which triggered the crime. So now we have hate crimes.
So far we do not have hate crime leglislation to protect the anti-gun folks because we as a group are too law-abiding to be a threat to their safety or lives.
Their entire program is operated with the certainty that they will not be confronted.
I AM NOT ADVOCATING ANY THREAT OR VIOLENCE AGAINST ANTI_GUNNERS.I AM MERELY POINTING OUT THAT THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT WE WILL NOT RESIST BECAUSE OF WHO AND WHAT WE ARE.
Do you doubt that they are winning?
Interestingly enough we have a specific law to protect our right to own and use guns.
