The Democrats want to keep their jobs, and angering gun owners is a good way to lose those democrat held seats. Frankly, since 2001 the more afraid people get, the more guns they buy, and more converts to the cause as well. On that basis I don't think people are going to buy that they need to ban guns for greater security. As the recent sales have also increased the amount of stakeholders against a ban, and increases the penalty for those who would enact a ban.longwatch wrote:and what makes you think so?I don't take this seriously without some source for Korwins claims. Sounds like blatant scare mongering to me. Even if someone introduces a bill its not going anywhere this year.
all they have to do is prime the people enough and make them afraid enough--or rather make them more afraid....it has been said that a people in fear are much easier to control, and I for one tend to agree--and those people are much more likely to give up more of their freedoms in order for them to get some form of "security" from the government...
