My take on the current feeding frenzy


VERBATIM

I do not think that it will amount to anything in terms of gun control. When our side is voting with thousands of dollars in purchases and many hours of activism, training and lobbying, the other side has only talking and collusive propaganda through the mass media.
 
The real reason for the gun control talk - in my opinion - is to take the pressure off the administration on the economic front. Everyone has been very concerned about the depression, the coming higher taxes, the massive budget deficits and the attendant defaults on government obligations that they just had to counter-strike somewhere. Just like the Brusilov offensive designed to relieve the French at Verdun, this strategic foray into gun control might accomplish the short-term goal at the cost of squandering much political capital the Democrats have.
 
If the current administration tries to push gun control in extra-legal ways, then they would be just reaching for the laurels of Ceauşescu. I doubt that any of them would go to the wall for that goal, and the current propaganda blitz is no different from the leaflets the Soviets used to drop over the Finnish lines in 1939. Wishful thinking more than a threat.

    I respectively disagree with Oleg on this. The left (and a decent number on the right) have been waiting for just such an opportunity as they have now. With emotions running at a fever pitch (emotions stoked by politicians and their lapdogs in the media) the left is reaching for the brass ring on this, just as they did with BarryCare. They can taste it, making them drunk in their reckless abandon. A disarmed American citizenry is to them the Holy Grail.... complete control of the unarmed subjects via BarryCare. Remember, we still don't know the full contents of that obamanation. Far more than "affordable health care" is buried in the pages of that law.
    I have much respect for Oleg, and his background. But I think this is bigger than the potential monies lost due to enactment of new, and harsher gun control laws.... this borders on a perverse sexual frenzy for them. They must have it!

    They'd have to win twice in a row, first politically, then militarily.

    Agreed. Must leave no stone unturned in the battle to defeat them.
