So they're into guns but won't actually support the cause because they're misinformed, and most likely vote for polititians that hate them.

Strange group of people.
From the article: "More regulations on lawful gun owners "are overprescribed political placebos that fail to cure ... the root causes of violence," the gun club said in a position statement. Instead of "window-dressing 'solutions' like so-called 'assault weapons' bans and magazine capacity restrictions," the group argued, government should back "mitigation for violence prevention: stronger mental health care, addressing poverty, homelessness and unemployment." The group also views monetary disincentives to gun ownership, such as ammunition taxes, as "class barriers" blocking the poor from exercising their constitutional rights." Now, I'm not sure just what to make of that. |

"If I walk into a gun store with an Obama T-shirt - which I wouldn't wear, because he's too conservative - I don't fit," joked Eric Wooten, a longtime California Democratic Party activist and member of the Liberal Gun Club."
Joke or not, if he is left of Obama this is type most of us fight in a civil war situation. Leftists aren't afraid of guns, they are afraid of others having them. |

They ARE conceeding to social and cultural engineering, which considering it's Mexifornia and that sort of shit is genetic with those people, is to be expected.

Now, I'm not sure just what to make of that. These people are so dense. Our class division right now isn't terrible, in most major cities all types of income level reside and interact with each other on a regular basis, think salt n' pepper. When we look at a place with actual class barriers such as many South American countries your either RICH or POOR and that is exactly what would play out here given enough time, salt AND pepper. The very people that suggest these stupid ideals would find themselves on the wrong side of the fence rather quickly as they are with obongocare "I didn't think I was paying?!" they thought themselves to be the "little" guy. As much as I hate the FSA the constitution protects their rights the same as Warren Buffet and as history has shown us with the Roman Republic the "poor" are the first to go and we are all "poor".

That may be true, but if they end up convincing more liberals to buy guns, own guns and support 2A rights within their own party this is a good thing. I'd be tickled pink if supporting gun control became a toxic position for a politician on either side of the political spectrum. I doubt it will ever happen, mind you. But I don't doubt that getting more liberals to slap BFLs on their Priuses next to their 'Coexist' stickers can help move the Democratic party toward supporting gun rights. |

You realize she is being used because she is more photogenic than an aging fat man in a wheelchair, right?
James Brady is an old act. New talent is needed by those who seek to remove weapons. Another did bring up a good point on Magazines, What Kelly and many sportsmen like him fail to realize (or so it seems) is that Miller '39 still stands. Military equipment that is not otherwise regulated by the NFA is firmly under the protection of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Magazines manufactured for military use are 100% covered as well. Any attempt to reduce that, without prior invalidation both the Dick Act and the Miller decision, is unconstitutional. |

What you should make of it is trying to make and keep as many RKBA allies as you can get. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Strange group of people. From the article: "More regulations on lawful gun owners "are overprescribed political placebos that fail to cure ... the root causes of violence," the gun club said in a position statement. Instead of "window-dressing 'solutions' like so-called 'assault weapons' bans and magazine capacity restrictions," the group argued, government should back "mitigation for violence prevention: stronger mental health care, addressing poverty, homelessness and unemployment." The group also views monetary disincentives to gun ownership, such as ammunition taxes, as "class barriers" blocking the poor from exercising their constitutional rights." Now, I'm not sure just what to make of that. What you should make of it is trying to make and keep as many RKBA allies as you can get. This. Pro-gun is not a political party. We've got friends on the other side of the isle. |

While I agree that many of these people are depressingly ill-informed, they represent an important and apparently growing facet of the pro-2A movement. Rather than having to outright battle ant-gunners politically, these are the people who can change liberal politics from the inside. Enough of these people, and the DNC could take gun prohibition off of their national platform. Developments in this area could turn the 2A battle into something like the 30 Years War where at the end we simply forget why we are fighting or no longer have to do it anymore. Optimistic I realize, but not wholly unreasonable.
