My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton

Why Should Anyone Be Surprised
That, in a country in which only last fall,a large proportion of its population was convinced that a coup was in progress and that they had directly elected a prime minister, is now seized with the idea that gun control for farmers should be scrapped? Given enough money, propaganda and appeals to tribal loyalty, I am convinced that large groups of people can be convinced of pretty much anything.

Give them a few years, and they'll demand that gun control be scrapped altogether...
ReplyDeleteYup, that's where we are headed.The thinking will be laid out thusly: Law abiding long gun owners don't need to be registered, so is it fair that law abiding handgun owners are persecuted for wanting to own handguns? Repeat that 24/7 for several years, add in the idea that "law abiding" folks need guns to keep them safe from "street gangs" (do I need to draw you a picture, wink, wink) and presto, no more gun control.
ReplyDeleteWell, this member of the NRA will cheer that effort on...
