Seems to me that in this situation my enemy isn't the guy telling me a shit hurricane is coming and to prepare for it. It would be the guy who gets the warning and then doesn't take any precautions to ameliorate its effects.
If we get an assault weapons ban or a national red flag law, its that guy's fault.
Hmmm, yet another non answer. So, your solution is to turn to the fellow with no answers for hurricane relief.
Well nca, you say the gun lobby needs to work in on reasonable solutions to help you overcome your fears. Lets try this again, list the specific gun lobby organization that you contribute to thatre looking out for your interests?
Non answer for what? Your dribble? Seems to me like you are well aware that there is no acceptable answer that you wouldn't try to find some ideological fault with. You can play that game and lose at it all by yourself.
Take this current thread for example. You only want to whine about Dem voting records, put up a wall and conduct 2nd amendment purity screening to protect against the oncoming attack. Do you think for one second that an R Senator from a State your guy is underwater isn't going to read the tea leaves and flip on this to save his job? Take for example keith's own senator from PA. He flipped on background check just after Newtown and he hasn't gone back. I bet you he would go several steps further to save his job.
Remember, my side has the favorable numbers with respect to where and what seats are at stake this year and it seems there is a blue tide still in effect. So go right on playing the keith and craig game. If these laws pass, its guys like you, who would not compromise on any issue, and therefore were excluded from the process that are going to be at fault.
I don't blame a politician for being a politician. I blame gun owners and their lobby for being naive to think they can keep away change for ever.
I'll tell you what, If I turn out to be wrong, and I hope I do, you can call me chicken little for a day. But if I'm right, pointing that out to you will not give any satisfaction if there is a ban.
